Engineering firm BGEN is creating more than 100 skilled jobs following a number of new contract wins across the UK.
Based in Warrington, BGEN is a £187m-turnover business and the new deals will see it play a key role in the UK’s transition to net zero. The company is looking to recruit skilled craftspeople and engineers across its UK operations.
This new recruitment drive at BGEN, which is headquartered on Centre Park in Warrington, follows a number of new contract wins in the industrial space with opportunities across the UK including England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Chief executive Robin Whitehead said: “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.
“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.
