The Company
The Twenty One group are recruiting on behalf of our client; a long established and highly reputable multi disciplined Mechanical and Electrical company who operate primarily within the Oil/Gas and Industrial sectors. Due to expansion an opening has arisen for a Site Manager from a Pipefitting/Fabrication/Welding background to lead a site team on major projects in Shetland.
