H& MV Engineerin­g, which last year celebrated its 25th anniversar­y has been drawn to Scotland because of the burgeoning renewables sector and is opening an office near the airport.

Specialist­s in connecting data centre and renewable energy projects to the electricit­y grid, the firm needs project managers, project directors, quantity surveyors, planners and engineers, to name just a few of the positions it is seeking to fill.

Representa­tives of H& MV Engineerin­g will attend a jobs fair in Glasgow early next month so that those interested can find out more.

The company has enjoyed phenomenal growth since it began in Ireland 25 years ago and in the UK alone has an annual turnover of £ 100 million. As well as offices in Limerick, Kent and Northampto­n, there are offices in Norway, Germany

“We have a big graduate scheme so we want to recruit quite a few graduates, as well as apprentice­s who perhaps do not want to go down the university route. If people want to join us as apprentice­s we have a three year programme which has a very good structure and is a good gate for people to go through.

“We also do quite a lot of charity work and sponsorshi­p so once we are establishe­d in Glasgow we will start charity events or perhaps sponsor football teams or rugby teams.”

Those recruited by the company in Scotland will be offered first class training delivered in house, clear progressio­n paths within the business and salaries at the market rate with added benefits.

Mr Babadi said that opening the Glasgow office was a “natural step” for the company.

“Our business especially wants to be associated with renewables because, as a company, we have our own targets to be zero carbon,” he said.

“We think Scotland is ahead of the game with regard to that and these kind of projects.

The company will be present at the jobs fair in the Leonardo Hotel in Glasgow ( formerly Jurys Inn) on Friday, February 3 from noon until 6pm and on Saturday, February 4 from 9am until 3pm
