A jobs fair for the Oldhall Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) will be held at the Riverside Lodge, 46 Annick Rd, Irvine KA11 4LD on Tuesday 24th January 2023 from 10:30 to 19:00.
The fair is an opportunity for job seekers from the local community to meet the main contractors from the project and find out about construction-related job opportunities, work experience and longer term employment prospects at the facility. Related skills, recruitment and job support agencies will also be exhibiting. The fair is free, open to all and there is no need to register in advance.
The facility, based on the Oldhall Industrial Estate, Irvine, is being built by STC Power as EPC contractor on behalf of Doveryard Limited. Construction works began in August 2022 after the enabling work (preparations to make the building site ready for construction) were completed.
Once operational, the Oldhall ERF will generate 17MW of electricity – enough to power 30,000 homes – and will divert up to 180,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste from landfill annually.
Project Manager, Alberto Andres said:
“The number of workers on site will fluctuate over time but it is anticipated there will be around 200 people employed on the site at the peak of the construction phase and where possible, we want to recruit people from the local area. We would encourage anyone interested to come along to the jobs fair or, if they can’t make it, send us their CV. Once construction finishes, we’ll be looking to fill 20 full-time, permanent positions to operate the plant and will be recruiting for these later in 2023.”
