Cumbrian firm Prima Uno has secured a two-year contract at Dounreay Site Restoration Limited, Britain’s most ambitious nuclear site closure programme.
The consultancy will provide cost engineer and planning resources and its personnel and the Dounreay project team will work as a fully integrated team.
Prima Uno will also set up a project controls centre of excellence and employ a local apprentice to work on the site.
Prima Uno started a centre of excellence in Cumbria in 2014.
Sarah Purdham, managing director of Prima Uno, said: “To secure this contract is extremely exciting for Prima Uno, we want to add value but also to make a difference.
“To start a centre of excellence in Thurso will be wonderful and will put something back in the local area.
“We hope to work with local colleges and DSRL to take on one cost engineer and one planning apprentice for every year we have this contract.
“This framework is another new growth area for Prima Uno. I am looking forward to working with the team at Dounreay. Our staff share my vision and enthusiasm and are excited about starting on the projects.”
