North Star, the UK’s leading infrastructure vessel support operator, has launched a major recruitment drive ahead its first hybrid-powered offshore wind fleet arriving in UK waters early next year.
The company, which has facilities in Aberdeen, Lowestoft and Newcastle, wants to hire 42 qualified seafarers as part of plans to take on 170 seafarers in the next 18 months.
The staff will work on the first of the company’s four new service operations vessels (SOVs), all destined for the world-leading Dogger Bank Wind Farm development off the East Yorkshire coast, a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor, and Vårgrønn.
