Construction News Image
NES (North Electrical Services) Ltd has announced plans to recruit nearly 200 new staff by 2022.

The Inverness and Elgin-based electrical firm is embarking on a major expansion programme to bring its staff count up to 250 within the next five years.

During this time, turnover is anticipated to rise from between £3 million - £4 million to around £12m/£15m.

The company has already made four new recruits this year; three admin staff and an estimator, as well as four new apprentice electricians.

Managing Director Kenny Duncan said widening it's Scottish presence is a natural progression for the company.

"There are still opportunities for us to grow in the North and North-east, but we also feel we can pursue other areas, like the central belt, and other sectors, such as energy and social housing," he said.

"If it goes as we expect it to go over the next 4-5 years we will quadruple the existing workforce and seek new projects we feel we're well suited to.

"However, we will continue to be heavily focused on apprentices and people development which has been very successful for us."

NES's workforce is presently around 100 with the addition of contract workers as it completes a major contract for Norbord, Inverness. It is also engaged in projects at Cauldeen School in Inverness; the new £100 million Macallan distillery in Moray and at SGL Carbon Fibers Ltd in Ross-shire.
