Site Services Division Appoints New Operations Manager

Global Energy Group is bolstering its Site Services division with the appointment of Operations Manager, Alan Mackay, focusing on delivering comprehensive construction, maintenance, and enhancement solutions to hydropower facilities across Scotland and the UK.

As a service-focused and performance-driven business, the Site Services division offers a wide range of services, including design, manufacture, fabrication, installation, refurbishment, and testing of hydro assets. With dedicated off-site facilities, the division delivers major turnkey infrastructure solutions, ensuring high standards of quality and efficiency.

The division is now under the leadership of Alan Mackay, an experienced Operations Manager who has a strong background within the sector. His appointment signals Global Energy Group’s continued commitment to support Scotland’s growing hydro sector, while driving further growth throughout the UK.

Alan Mackay, Operations Manager at Global Energy Group Site Services, said: "With Scotland's ambitious renewable energy targets, our Site Services division is ready to play a pivotal role in supporting the hydro sector. Our experienced and professional team is equipped to handle the most complex projects, ensuring that hydro infrastructure is robust, efficient, and future proof."

Dave Mackay, General Manager at Global Energy Group Fabrication Division (North) commented: “I’m delighted to have Alan onboard and leading the Site Services division. He brings with him a successful track record of managing major projects and I’m confident he will drive significant growth within the business.”

The Site Services division has recently commenced work on two large projects - Torr Achilty and Luichart Power Stations. As part of a three-year plan at Torr Achilty, the team will design and fabricate two new intake control gates for the hydro turbines, while refurbishing and overhauling the existing gates. At the Luichart site, work has started on designing, fabricating and installing a replacement gate at the 34MW power station, which is part of SSE Renewables Conan Hydro Scheme.

Hydropower in Scotland is a well-established energy source, with over 1.5 GW of installed capacity. This generates around 12% of total electricity output in Scotland and is set to expand further due to the growing importance of pumped-storage facilities, which balance the intermittency of wind and solar power, ensuring a reliable and resilient energy supply.

Global Energy Group's enhanced Site Services division is well-positioned to support this growth, offering end-to-end solutions that cater to the evolving needs of the hydro sector. Under Alan Mackay's leadership, the division is committed to delivering excellence in all aspects of hydro infrastructure development and maintenance.
