Power generation experts’ expansion creates new engineering jobs
Power generation expert Excitation & Engineering Services (EES) is expanding its operations with a new office in Inverness, Scotland - opening in Spring 2025.
As part of the growth, the Tamworth-headquartered firm is actively recruiting engineers to provide local expertise in excitation systems.
Building on its 13-year-long presence in Scotland, EES’ new base will strengthen its ability to support key customers in the power sector, particularly as investment in hydroelectric and long-term energy storage projects continue to grow.
This includes the proposed Coire Glas power station which, if built, will double the UK’s long-duration energy storage capacity.
The Inverness team will provide specialist expertise in excitation systems, ensuring the reliable operation and maintenance of plants across the region.
“The decision to establish an office in Inverness is a major step towards enhancing our support for the region’s power generation industry,” explained Ryan Kavanagh, director at EES.
“With more investment flowing into renewable energy, it’s crucial that we can offer specialised, responsive support locally.
“This office will help us serve our customers, improve collaboration with plant operators and support the maintenance and improvement of Scotland’s electricity supply.”
EES is recruiting electrical engineers and electrical field service engineers to staff the new Inverness office.
These engineers will be instrumental in strengthening EES’ local presence, providing specialised expertise in excitation systems to a range of customers.
“This is a great opportunity for engineers to develop their careers in a growing sector,” explained Douglas Cope (pictured), founder and director at EES.
“Scotland has a wealth of talent and we want to contribute to the region’s growth while fostering local expertise.
“EES will provide a path for those looking to build careers in the energy sector, working on meaningful projects that will have a real impact on the local community and beyond.”
EES currently employs 16 engineers as well as seven non-technical staff, with plans for more later this year.
Cope founded the SME in 2011 with a group of electrical engineers that he’d met working for major companies RWE (formerly National Power) and Alstom.
As EES continues to expand its presence in Scotland, the new Inverness office presents an exciting opportunity for engineers in the region.
