A Cumbrian engineering company creating new job roles as it continues to expand.
Six new positions are being created at Forth, which has bases at Maryport, Cleator Moor and Barrow.
The company works across all industries, including nuclear, oil and gas, renewables, agriculture and utilities.
Mark Telford, Forth’s managing director, said: “As predicted 2023 is proving to be a very exciting year for Forth. We have several exciting and innovative projects in the pipeline.
“One of the most pleasing aspects of this work is that we are able to create even more job opportunities in the local area.
“We remain passionate about keeping jobs in Cumbria by bringing as many projects to the county as possible to help boost the local economy and support our communities.
“It’s a competitive jobs market out there and it can be difficult for SMEs like us, and many others in Cumbria, to recruit and retain staff at times, especially given some of the larger employers we have in this county.
“That’s why we focus on developing our people, empowering our team to think differently and deliver solutions to a variety of industries regionally, nationally and globally.
“It means you can enjoy a career with Forth knowing that no two days will ever be the same.”
Mark added: “We are always on the look-out for talent and invest in our people so we can bring on the next generation of Forth engineers.
“We believe that providing professional development helps motivate staff, and that in turn benefits the business.”
