Murphy
Thurso and Alness, Highlands
Murphy, one of the main contractors for the Spittal - Loch Buidhe - Beauly 400kV project, recently opened a new office in Thurso, creating high quality, skilled employment opportunities for up to 50 people.
The growth in Caithness complements the expansion of Murphy’s existing presence in Alness, with the team taking over the fourth and final wing of Fyrish House alongside opening a dedicated training suite. Since opening the first wing in late 2023 with six staff, the hub has grown to over 80 team members, with ambitions to reach over 100 full-time roles by early 2026.
Liam Corr, Energy Managing Director at Murphy said:
“Together, we hope these facilities will form a strategic backbone for project delivery and support us in this first phase of recruitment, with the Thurso Hub itself creating up to 50 new skilled roles in the region alongside the 80 people already employed here in Alness; laying the foundation for a significantly expanded workforce as our operations scale up across Caithness.”
