Based in Glasgow, Arc-Tech (Scotland) designs and installs Mechanical, Electrical, and Renewable solutions to support commercial, industrial, and residential contracts across the country.
Arc-Tech was formed in 2016 and since then, the business has grown with an annual turnover now in excess of £27m and a direct labour force of 100 highly skilled employees.
Offering trade apprenticeships and trainee programmes is integral to the firm’s immediate and longer-term growth strategies, with their 2025 apprentice intake a continuation of youth employment opportunities that have been made available every year of their near decade in the Scottish construction sector.
John Gallacher, Managing Director of Arc-Tech (Scotland), said: “We have always recognised the value of skills replenishment, and we are extremely proud to continue our trade apprentice intake for another year. The sector is currently facing challenges, including a skills shortage, so it is imperative that we continue to invest in young people and future talent.”
The 3 new recruits will be employed across electrical, heating engineering and plumbing trades, and will undertake a 3 to 4-year programme comprising a mix of applied learning and theory with recognised colleges.
Lewis said: “I am really looking forward to my final year as an apprentice. I am another step forward being fully qualified and I am excited for my future.
“I think some people might think an apprenticeship is easy, but it is not. It takes a while to get used to it and you really have to stick it out the first period. When you do, it is really rewarding and I take great pride in what I have achieved in the last 3 years.
Ross said: “I have really enjoyed the experience. Not only have I learned skills for life, but I have also made some really good friends along the way.
“I definitely want to stay on the tools for a wee while yet, but I already have an eye on a managerial role – mechanical project management really interests me and I believe my apprenticeship has given me the confidence and abilities to take on that challenge.”
Arc-Tech’s announcement coincides with Scottish Apprenticeship Week 2025 (03/03-07/03)
