BAM and SSEN Transmission announce jobs boost with new Highland hub for 200 people
At an event with SSEN Transmission, BAM has officially opened a new shared office space in Inverness, creating a dedicated Highland hub for its engineering and energy operations in the north of Scotland.
The office will play a central role in delivering a series of major proposed electricity infrastructure projects for SSEN Transmission – part of the transmission operator’s planned £22+ billion investment in electricity infrastructure across the north of Scotland to help meet energy security and clean power targets.
The new facility will act as collaborative hub for more than 200 people and will bring together BAM teams from different projects, SSEN Transmission colleagues, and a range of supply chain partners. The space is designed to strengthen collaboration, improve efficiency, and ensure consistent delivery across the programme.
Since SSEN Transmission set the challenge two years ago to expand the workforce required for the clean energy transition, BAM has recruited 362 full-time staff into Scotland’s energy networks sector, including 63 since August this year. This growth reflects the scale of the programme and the need for strong regional capability, which the collaboration office is designed to support.
