Joining our two already established sites in Belfast and Appledore, Harland & Wolff (Methil) and Harland & Wolff (Arnish) will work across a range of sectors, with a particular focus on renewables. As with all our sites, a skilled local workforce is crucial to our success and we want to hear from those in the local areas and across Scotland with the key skills we need.”

Harland & Wolff is a multisite fabrication company, operating in the maritime and offshore industry. 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 this 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, oil and gas and defence sectors.
