AMEC/Jacobs alliance nets Magnox contract
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. has announced that its VELA alliance with AMEC was awarded a contract by Magnox Ltd to provide project management resources in support of Magnox’s decommissioning program in the UK.
The Project Management Resource Partnership agreement is an extension of the Magnox Resource Transfer Protocol that was established with Jacobs and AMEC in 2011.
Under the terms of the contract, the VELA alliance is providing project management expertise, skills development, coaching, and employment opportunities for Magnox employees.
“This agreement is a unique opportunity for the three companies to work together in an innovative way, and it gives Magnox the opportunity to balance its resourcing requirement for both the long- and short-term while investing in long-term career opportunities for our staff," said Peter Burns, Magnox director of projects.
"Our aim is the retention of skills within the entire nuclear industry and this agreement will play a key role in achieving that aim,” he added.
