NEW jobs are being created in Renfrew, thanks to a multi-million pound contract to deliver safety components for a nuclear power plant.

Malin Newbuild is urging people to apply for a variety of roles at Westway Park, including technical clerks, Health and Safety Executive (HSE) assistants, quality control inspectors, project engineer, responsible welding coordinator and quality assurance assistant.

The latest contract continues the relationship between The Malin Group and Caley Ocean Systems, which has already seen six large lifting structures built at Westway Park for use by Balfour Beatty at the Hinkley Point C nuclear site in Somerset.

The companies will now collaborate to design, test, build and transport isolation caps required to provide a safety barrier for tunnel construction and ongoing maintenance works.

Gary Mitchelson, general manager of Malin Newbuild, said: “The work at Hinkley Point C is said to be among the most complex marine engineering projects in the world just now, so I’m delighted to again be working with Caley Ocean Systems and Balfour Beatty to support key elements from right here in Renfrew.

“Drawing together engineering expertise across the Malin Group, we are ideally placed on the Clyde to build and transport large structures like this on a build-to-print or turnkey basis.

“Working on a project of this size also enables further expansion at Westway, with opportunities to grow, diversify and upskill our existing workforce.

“We look forward to welcoming new colleagues as the project kicks off.”

John Munro, managing director at Caley Ocean Systems, added: “We’re pleased to be working with our key partner Malin to deliver this major project.”
