Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK has brought extra teams on site in preparation for the start of onshore high voltage cable installation for the first two 1200MW phases of the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm located off eastern England.
The company said it has increased the number of people on site to 70, with an additional trenching team of 14 plus six ground work and general construction apprentices.
There are also four trainee engineers on site, it added.
Jones Bros has also started preparatory work on other parts of the site, with construction of the first joint bays, where the undersea connection transitions onto land, set to take place in the coming weeks.
A LEADING civil engineering firm based in Denbighshire is recruiting 30 apprentices to start over the next 12 months on its award-winning training programme. Ruthin-based Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK is seeking applicants for its plant operator and general construction (GCO) apprenticeship schemes, with practical learning taking place at its purpose-built construction industry-accredited training centre. Jones Bros hopes the move signifies how buoyant the construction sector is, as well as providing youngsters aged 18-25 with clear career progression and employment opportunities. The family firm, which employs more than 500 people, is currently working on significant civil engineering projects across the UK where apprentices will gain valuable on-the-job experience.

Newly released drone aerial footage shows the progress that has been made at the Kings Dyke Crossing project on the A605.
The three-minute ‘flight’ over the project site clearly demonstrates just how much work has been done since Metro Mayor, James Palmer, ‘broke ground’ back in June last.
Speaking to members of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority Transport and Infrastructure Committee at their online meeting (6 January), Mayor Palmer said: “Progress has been good to date, and the project is currently on schedule.
“The main contractor, Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK, were appointed for the construction phase which commenced on 15 June 2020, and the scheme is forecast to complete and open to traffic in December 2022.
