Engineering specialist to create 70 jobs with HQ expansion
A specialist engineering company is to create 70 jobs after obtaining additional office space at its Wolverhampton headquarters.
Wintech Façade Engineering has acquired Solutions House next door to its premises.
Leading the company expansion Paul Savidge, managing director, said: “It is a really exciting time to be a part of the business as it enters a new phase of growth, the additional space we now have will allow us to grow the team which has been one of the key drivers for the past few years.
“We are building upon our current core strength of façade engineering, but also looking to prepare the business to assist with the nation’s net zero building transformation requirement. This includes sustainability, building energy advice for the mechanical and electrical systems in addition to the envelope which is of course the building’s primary energy modifier.
“The Government has already committed to all new builds achieving net zero by 2030 and all existing buildings to achieve net zero by 2050. This incredible challenge to address embedded and operational carbon requires a radical change as to how we design for both new and significantly for the country’s existing building stock. Our new office accommodation in Wolverhampton will help us to accommodate the new employees required to support the nation in this transformation. In parallel to growing our core strengths, we are recruiting for our new business growth areas of Sustainability, Fire Engineering and Façade Access.”
He added: “The expansion will create a further seventy highly skilled technical roles in the local area and further career opportunities for our existing staff. Wintech recognises that our strength lies in our people and are building our team of highly skilled technical experts to decarbonise the UK’s building stock. The building envelope and improving its thermal performance should be recognised as one of the critical elements necessary to control the energy consumption of our nation’s buildings.”
Founded in 1983, Wintech has steadily expanded and now employs more than 100 people.
Chris Macey, Wintech’s CEO, added: “It’s our belief that the key to growth is primarily based on the skill set of our engineers and service and, as a quality-focused company, we are continually looking to develop and build on our offering to ensure we’re recognised as a market-leading firm in this specialised niche of the construction industry.”
