Harland & Wolff, the iconic shipyard with over 160 years of maritime and offshore engineering pedigree, is delighted to be hosting its first Port Talbot Careers’ Evening as part of its 2022 Careers’ Roadshow.
Taking place at the Best Western Aberavon Beach Hotel on 25th January 2022 from 4pm – 8pm, the evening aims to set a solid workforce foundation in preparation for its highly anticipated new contracts. It will also provide an opportunity to meet and speak with existing Harland & Wolff employees who can share their experiences of working with the iconic brand.
Prospective employees will be able to register to attend by visiting harland-wolff.com/careersopenday.
Harland & Wolff is a multisite fabrication company, operating in the maritime and offshore industry through five markets: commercial, cruise and ferry, defence, energy and renewables and six services: technical services, fabrication and construction, decommissioning, repair and maintenance, in-service support and conversion.
Its Belfast yard is one of Europe’s largest heavy engineering facilities, with deep water access, two of Europe’s largest drydocks, ample quayside and vast fabrication halls. As a result of the acquisition of Harland & Wolff (Appledore) in August 2020, the company has been able to capitalise on opportunities at both ends of the ship-repair and shipbuilding markets where there will be significant demand.
In February 2021, the company acquired the assets of two Scottish-based yards along the east and west coasts. Now known as Harland & Wolff (Methil) and Harland & Wolff (Arnish), these facilities will focus on fabrication work within the renewable, energy and defence sectors.
Harland & Wolff is a wholly owned subsidiary of Harland & Wolff Group Holdings plc (previously known as InfraStrata plc), a London Stock Exchange-listed firm. In addition, it also owns the Islandmagee gas storage project, which is expected to provide 25% of the UK’s natural gas storage capacity and to benefit the Northern Irish economy as a whole when completed.
