Glasgow based CCG (OSM) has appointed two new trainees as part of a wider recruitment drive by the offsite manufacturing firm.
The firm employs more than 120 direct employees. It recently hired Stuart Hunter and Greig Barnstaple, set to undertake training programmes in timber frame design and quantity surveying in offsite manufacturing - the design, manufacture and assembly of building elements at a location other than their final place of installation.
Alongside the divisional recruitment drive across their group of companies, CCG will also embark on its latest apprentice intake this spring.
CCG OSM director, David Crawford, said: “The Scottish construction industry has evolved greatly over the last 20 years and the CCG Group has been at its forefront.
"With impending changes to building standards and our move to become a ‘net zero’ economy by 2045, further evolution is ahead of us and ‘offsite’ construction methods will be vital in reaching the necessary, enhanced levels of performance and quality for new build construction.
“The modernisation of construction practices also goes in hand with our industry’s approach to skills replenishment and development. ‘Offsite’ is a scientific, technological process so there is a great opportunity to attract new talent to the industry as the market for this form of construction continues to grow.
“Skills replenishment and training is a key element of the CCG Group’s ethos and the appointments of both Greig and Stuart are examples of how we are continuing pioneer offsite in Scotland. I’m delighted to welcome them both to our business and look forward to seeing how they progress over the coming years.”
