Description
Marine and engineering services firm C and M Group has announced that it will create 240 jobs in the U.S and the U.K. 100 jobs will be created in Aberdeen, Scotland, whilst 140 will be created in the U.S. The move follows a management-led buy-out and restructuring. C and M, which aims to become a major global engineering company, has invested in a 14,000-tonne ice-breaker. Re-named the Ice Maiden, she is currently being converted into a multi-purpose support vessel capable of operating anywhere in the world. More than 60 of the new jobs will be for experienced marine crew for the Ice Maiden. C and M currently employs about 80 people in the UK and 60 in the US.
David Kellas, C and M's operations director, admitted that their recruitment drive would not be easy.
He said: 'With an extremely tight labour market, we know that finding experienced people will be very challenging.'
'Nevertheless, we believe that C and M offers a unique proposition being a small, dynamic but rapidly-expanding company.'

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
