A MONTROSE construction firm has been appointed to carry out the works on the Seagreen wind farm operations and maintenance base – safeguarding up to 30 jobs.
Pert-Bruce Construction will start on site this week at Montrose Port’s South Quay.
The base will include an operations building, repurposed warehouse, communications tower, and a pontoon for crew transfer vessels travelling to the Seagreen wind farm site 27km off the Angus coast.
Craig Bruce, managing director, said, “We are delighted to be involved in such an exciting development which will have huge benefits safeguarding 25 -30 jobs over the year within our business and our wider supply chain.
“Being awarded a contract to be part of the largest offshore wind farm in Scotland by SSE Renewables is testament to our diverse capabilities, loyal workforce, and reputation for excellence.
“The operations and maintenance base will play a significant role in the day-to-day running of Seagreen and we look forward to getting started on site and taking this important part of the project to completion. “
