A Lisburn manufacturing company has created 26 jobs to help service its growing business in the offshore renewables sector.
CASC said its £1.7 million investment will allow it to make the most of its newly installed machinery and to service a growing pipeline of projects in the offshore wind sector. The business focuses on providing project management and professional labour services for the renewables sector and metal fabrication to the engineering, construction and utilities sector.
The roles, four of which are already in place, include a mix of machine operators, site technicians, project managers, and electricians as well as support staff across finance, design and logistics.
Karl Crockard, Managing Director of CASC, said he is keen to maximise the capacity of the new machinery and scale the business.
“By investing specifically in our people, through training and job creation, we will be able to increase our long-term growth in the offshore wind sector,” he said. “This will ensure we have a team of highly skilled professionals who will enable us to remain competitive in global markets through sales wins and effective machine operation, providing quality products consistently.
“This will be key to completing these sales and unlocking our future international growth.”
Invest NI has offered CASC support towards the creation of the 26 jobs and the skills development of its team.
“CASC has recognised the opportunity and we’ve worked with the company to help it develop an innovative approach to the energy sector so that it can secure new business globally,” Grainne McVeigh, Invest NI’s Director of Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering, said. “The investment is an important part of its overall business strategy, and we are pleased to support the next stage of its growth.
“By expanding and upskilling the team, it is investing in its people and in the future of the company.”
