The Northern Lighthouse Board requires professional Engineering Support Services to support our Asset Management and Project Delivery Departments to assist with future projects and specialist inspection services which may arise over the course of a 4-year contract.

The provisions of the service will be spread over a wide geographical area throughout Scotland, including the Northern and Western Isles, and the Isle of Man in some of the remotest areas. Any future projects, which are identified and deemed appropriate under this framework agreement for Engineering Support Services could require Specialist Engineers to undertake feasibility studies and design of any proposed structures, undertake inspection surveys report on findings with recommendations for remedial works and suggest improvements, at our HQ in Edinburgh, Oban, Inverness, Lerwick and Kirkwall Bases as well as a variety of Aids to Navigation (AtoN's) structures, including bridges, piers, roads etc.
