Independent Scottish housebuilder Stewart Milne Homes is investing £120 million in the Tayside region with plans to build more than 350 new homes at developments in Arbroath, Ballumbie and Blairgowrie to meet housing demand.
To support this development, the firm said it is looking to attract the best tradespeople and sub-contractors to work with them over the next five years. It estimated this could lead to the creation of around 150 jobs in the region.
Commercial manager at Stewart Milne Homes, Neil McKenzie, said: “This investment and subsequent employment opportunities will have a positive impact on the local economy, which, albeit bolstered by the V&A-led city regeneration and the Tay Cities Deal , has been dealt harsh blows recently with the anticipated closures of well-known businesses and subsequent job losses.”
McKenzie added that while Stewart Milne Homes continues to increase the amount of people it directly employs it is equally keen to partner with local sub-contractors.
He said: “Having struck up unique partnerships with sub-contractors in Aberdeen and the North east we are keen to replicate this in Tayside, encouraging local tradespeople to work with us by offering the best conditions and opportunities.”
Stewart Milne Homes is holding a drop-in recruitment event for prospective employees and sub-contractors at the Double Tree Hilton in Dundee on Thursday 4th July from 16:30 to 18:30 to outline the opportunities available.
