BAM supports industry specialist with a career bounce back in the UK and Ireland
BAM has launched a new employment programme in the UK and Ireland in partnership with return-to-work specialists STEM Returners.
Launched ahead of International Women’s Day, the partnership will support engineers and other specialists returning to work following a career break. The 12-week placement programme will be based in BAM’s Northern Region with the first role based on the Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2) project in North Yorkshire.
EGL2 is a groundbreaking 2-gigawatt high voltage direct current electrical ‘superhighway,’ that will connect Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, to Drax in North Yorkshire, England, delivered as a joint venture by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) and National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET).
STEM Returners will source the candidates and provide career coaching and mentoring throughout the paid placement. At the end of the programme, returners may be offered the opportunity to become permanent employees.
