GB Energy ‘should bring up to 300 jobs’ to new Aberdeen HQ
Up to 300 jobs should be created at GB Energy’s new headquarters in Aberdeen, its new boss has said.
Juergen Maier, who was appointed chairman in June, told a House of Commons select committee that a workforce plan had not yet been created but his estimate was there would be 200-300 roles in the city.
He said there was “a lot of opportunity” to take people from the oil and gas sector for the state-owned energy company, which was a flagship policy during the Labour government’s general election campaign.
However, Mr Maier said it would be “well into next year” before GB Energy starts making any investments.
