We’re transforming Port Talbot into a major hub for floating offshore wind (FLOW) and green energy, and this is your opportunity to be part of it.
Through our Future Port Talbot programme, the port will become a central location for the manufacturing, assembly and integration of FLOW projects in the Celtic Sea. Alongside offshore wind, plans include sustainable aviation fuel production, hydrogen, onshore wind and carbon capture technologies, positioning Port Talbot as a leading green energy hub for Wales and the UK.
We are seeking a Project Manager with strong marine expertise. These projects play a critical role
