VolkerFitzpatrick has appointed Neville Tucker Heating as a sub-contractor on the development of a turbine blade factory project in Hull.
The £12m contract will see Neville Tucker Heating undertake a range of electrical and mechanical building services on the site.
Other services include controlling the humidity within the facility, the heating and ventilation installation and the services fit out in the office areas.
The appointment comes as Siemens selected VolkerFitzpatrick to build its multi-million pound turbine blade factory.
The facility will accommodate the manufacture of 75m turbine blades and the assembly, maintenance, storage and distribution of wind turbine components.
David Sershall, managing director of VolkerFitzpatrick’s building division, said: "We are delighted to have partnered with Neville Tucker on this important and prestigious project for Siemens.
"This contract forms a large part of the works undertaken on site and we are pleased to be able to use a local company to fulfil this requirement as it will see local labour heavily involved in the construction phase of the factory.
"By employing a local specialist on the project, we maintain our commitment to provide a quarter of the labour used on site from within a 25 mile radius of the project and create around 200 new jobs in the local area."
Mark Snape, Managing Director of Neville Tucker Heating, said: "We are delighted to be part of this high-profile project and welcome Siemens to the city."
Shaun Cray, Siemens' General Manager, Real Estate and Construction, for the Hull project, added: "We welcome this announcement, which underlines why we felt VolkerFitzpatrick presented the best bid for construction of the blade factory.
"It is strong evidence of VolkerFitzpatrick making good on their commitment to us to support local employment and access the local supply chain."
The facility will be complete in autumn 2016.
