Orion Supporting Key Energy Transition Projects

Orion Group has been awarded a manpower services contract by United Infrastructure, to provide specialist recruitment support for the Liverpool Bay Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project - a flagship UK initiative driving the transition to a low-carbon future.

Under the contract, Orion Group will deliver a variety of Liverpool Bay renewables jobs across multiple disciplines, and provide workforce management services for blue-collar construction and technical personnel, supporting the safe and efficient execution of the project’s construction and pipeline phases.

This award builds on Orion’s vast experience of delivering high-quality manpower solutions to the energy, infrastructure, and engineering sectors, worldwide.

About the Liverpool Bay Carbon Capture Project

The Liverpool Bay CCS Project forms a vital part of the UK’s industrial decarbonisation strategy. Requiring various CCS jobs and roles, the development will capture, transport, and store, CO₂ emissions from heavy industry across the North West, repurposing existing infrastructure within Liverpool Bay to permanently store carbon in depleted gas reservoirs beneath the seabed.

The project includes the construction of a new 34km pipeline and refurbishment of 24km of existing infrastructure, linking Ince - Cheshire, to Point of Ayr - North Wales. Once operational, the facility will significantly reduce industrial CO₂ emissions, helping to establish the North West as a leading hub for carbon capture and storage innovation and renewables job creation.
