Story Contracting is celebrating success after being named the winner of the Green Energy Skills category at this year’s Scottish Renewables ‘Green Energy Supply Chain Awards’, held in Aberdeen last night.
The award recognises organisations going above and beyond to prepare the workforce of the future. Story impressed the judges with its Graduate and Graduate Apprentice Early Careers Programme, which equips the next generation of engineers and quantity surveyors with the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to deliver Scotland’s transition to net zero.
Through a structured programme of secondments, mentoring, technical training, development days, and hands-on project experience, participants gain exposure to all aspects of the energy industry, from engineering and design to safety, environmental, and commercial roles. To date, 24 people have completed the programme in Scotland with a 100% retention rate, and a further nine new colleagues started their early careers journey this month.
Alan Boyle, Managing Director of Story’s Energy Division in Scotland, said:
“We are incredibly proud to win this award, which is a fantastic recognition of the hard work our teams have put into developing the talent pipeline Scotland needs. At Story, we know that tackling skills shortages is vital to our construction industry. By investing in talented young people and career changers, we are supporting the growth of our business and helping to secure the future of green energy in Scotland.”
