New project creates engineering jobs in Scotland
 Hundreds of engineering jobs will be available in Scotland after a development firm announced a new research and development programme, Process and Control Today reports.
Up to 200 jobs in engineering are to be generated by Doosan Babcock after they unveiled plans for a research and development centre in Renfrew thanks to a research and development grant awarded by Scottish Enterprise.
Enterprise Minister Jim Mather, told Process and Control Today: "Doosan Babcock's project will help create jobs and maintain and strengthen our energy industry's position as a world leader."
Costing £11 million to build, the centre will originally employ 100 people in engineering jobs but as it becomes more established Doosan Babcock expects to recruit up to 200 people in jobs in engineering.
Speaking to Process and Control Today, Iain Miller, chief executive officer at Doosan Babcock said: "The research supported by the R and D grant is aimed at establishing Doosan Babcock as one of the world leaders in power plant and environmental control technologies."
Doosan Babcock has global headquarters in the UK and employs around 5,000 people in engineering jobs worldwide.
