Salko UK launches major recruitment drive

A mechanical and electrical services provider is expanding its workforce to meet rising demand from a strong pipeline of power generation projects.

Goole-headquartered Salko UK has launched a recruitment drive to hire around 120 skilled specialists as it prepares for a record year of contracts across the UK and Ireland. 

Recruitment is underway across a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, welding and operational roles, with opportunities for supervisors and experienced pipefitters. 

The expanded workforce will support projects at major power stations including Dublin Bay, South Humber Bank, Isle of Grain, Enfield, Staythorpe and Great Yarmouth, with work scheduled to run from spring through to late autumn next year.

Dean Murphy, chief executive of Salko UK, said: “We are really excited to be kicking off 2026 with a big recruitment drive to support a diverse range of projects in the energy sector. 

“We are particularly looking for individuals who take pride in delivering high standards of workmanship and working safely within demanding environments. 

“As our project portfolio continues to grow, we are looking to strengthen our teams with skilled, reliable professionals who share our commitment to quality, safety and teamwork.

“We recognise that our people are our greatest asset and by recruiting the right individuals and supporting them on-site, we can ensure that our projects are delivered on time, to client specifications and to the highest quality standards.”
