Global engineering and digital services company Assystem has created 20 jobs in Sunderland as part of a countrywide recruitment push.
The French firm, which operates its energy transition team from the city, says the region is key hub for energy skills thanks to its pipeline of low carbon projects including offshore wind farms and hydrogen production plants. As part of plans to further tap into the UK clean energy market Assystem has created 450 jobs across the country, including engineering, technician and project management roles.
Following a partnership with Teesside University - encompassing collaborative research, knowledge exchange and student placements - the firm is recruiting for a range of positions in Sunderland, including for those in the early stages of their careers. Assystem says it is seeking candidates who are “committed to the clean energy switch” and has made strides to attract climate conscious talent through its ‘Switch On’ brand which it hopes will encourage workers who want to play a role in projects at the heart of the UK energy security strategy.
