Doosan Babcock, a UK provider of engineering, manufacturing, construction and asset management services, is creating almost 400 jobs as it invests £4.5m in the launch of a new process-engineering centre.

The opening of this centre is the first step in Doosan Babcock’s plans to almost triple the size of its process business over the coming five years.

The development will create 266 jobs in Renfrew, Scotland and 114 at other sites within the UK and internationally by 2018, including engineers, and project management and professional services personnel.

The launch has been boosted by Scottish Enterprise, which is providing a further £1.5m regional selective assistance to support the opening of the Centre at Doosan Babcock’s Renfrew site.
