SSE has outlined 130 planned new jobs in Glasgow and Montrose as part of its selection of Siemens Energy as preferred supplier for turbines and offshore substations at Berwick Bank B.
The 11 November announcement identifies 80 new SSE engineering and project-delivery positions in Glasgow and 50 new Siemens Energy roles at Montrose Port. These are included within 455 supported Scottish roles, a mixture of existing, project-based and new employment.
Across the UK, SSE forecasts 2,677 supported roles from the supplier package, including 2,222 in northern England. Activities would span blade manufacturing in Hull, engineering in Manchester, and delivery and assembly in Newcastle.
The 1.4 GW project is planned for the outer Firth of Forth, around 38 kilometres off Scotland. The supplier appointment remains subject to a final contract and SSE’s investment decision, expected in late 2027. Conditional preparatory offshore works could begin in 2028, with turbine and substation installation running from 2030 to 2032.
The figures describe expected project employment, rather than a list of vacancies available now. Glasgow and Montrose are the locations of the newly announced Scottish roles.
