The recruitment drive follows several 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 several live opportunities, including energy efficiency, energy transition and energy security projects.”

BGEN’s electrical business unit immediately needs upwards of 60 JIB-approved electricians and 10 supervisors.

The company's mechanical team requires time-served pipefitters, riggers, welders, and 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 have the opportunity to work on various interesting projects across several industrial sectors, helping deliver critical infrastructure initiatives.

In addition, candidates can work with various innovative technologies to deliver high-quality work. Successful candidates will benefit from ongoing learning and development opportunities and have access to comprehensive well-being support, including emotional, mental, and physical health. 

A second wave of recruitment will occur in the autumn as the company looks to deliver projects in 2025 and beyond.
