Around 80 Scottish workers have been made redundant following the collapse of Roadbridge UK, a subsidiary of Irish civil engineering firm Roadbridge.
Administrators Grant Thornton were called in after the company went into receivership last week.
It confirmed that the majority of the firm’s 215 employees have been made redundant, with a few still working to help with the administration process.
The Scottish workers were in locations ranging from Dumfries, Glasgow, Invergordon, Carnoustie and Lairg.
Roadbridge UK was responsible for 11 miles of cabling at the Seagreen wind farm off the coast of Angus. It was also working on two HS2 sites.
Its Scottish headquarters were based in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire.
The administration has left a group of suppliers and subcontractors working with Roadbridge holding millions in unpaid invoices.
It is understood the firm’s contracts on various projects were worth up to £60m.
Rob Parker, director at Grant Thornton, said: “Due to the financial position of the business, unfortunately the UK business has ceased to trade, with the vast majority of the 215 employees being made redundant.
“The joint administrators and their team will now concentrate their efforts on supporting employees through the Redundancy Payments Service claims process during this difficult time, as well as seeking to maximise realisations from the company’s assets for the benefit of the creditors of the company.”
