BGEN, one of the UK’s largest engineering firms supporting the energy transition, is looking to recruit 100 plus skilled craftspeople and engineers across its UK operations. The recruitment drive follows a number of new contract wins in the industrial space with opportunities across the UK including England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

“The business has grown significantly over the past 12 months as we continue to secure opportunities in our core market sectors including chemicals, energy, pharmaceutical and utilities,” says Robin Whitehead, chief executive officer at BGEN. “We have opportunities across the business at all levels, with a particular need for skilled mechanical and electrical craftspeople, as we support our clients on a number of live opportunities, including energy efficiency, energy transition and energy security projects.”

BGEN’s electrical business unit has an immediate requirement for upwards of 60 JIB approved electricians as well as 10 supervisors, while in its mechanical team, the business requires time-served pipefitters, riggers and welders alongside planning and quality assurance (QA) engineers.  The company’s technology team is recruiting for systems integration (SI) PLC/SCADA engineers and low-voltage (LV) design engineers.

Alongside a competitive package, successful candidates will get the opportunity to work on a range of interesting projects, across a number of industrial sectors, helping to deliver critical infrastructure initiatives. In addition, candidates will get the opportunity to work with a range of innovative technologies to deliver high quality work.

As a proud member of the 5% club, successful candidates will benefit from ongoing learning and development opportunities.  They will also have access to comprehensive wellbeing support including different aspects of emotional, mental and physical health.  Craftspeople will also be able to take advantage of the benefits offered to employees through national agreements including the Joint Industry Board (JIB and SJIB) and the National Agreement for the Engineering Construction Industry (NAECI).

A second wave of recruitment is set to take place in the autumn as the company looks to deliver projects in 2025 and beyond. For further information about BGEN, visit Careers – BGEN (b-gen.co.uk).
