26 Teesworks jobs up for grabs – here’s how to apply

Teesworks, the vast industrial site on the former Redcar steelworks, is the UK’s largest freeport and industrial zone, sitting on 4,500 acres on the south bank of the River Tees.

The multibillion-pound regeneration project is turning Europe’s largest brownfield site into a hub for clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and low-carbon industry, with thousands of roles expected as more firms move in.

The latest 26 vacancies have been posted on the Teesworks jobs portal and span a wide range of careers in engineering, construction, project management, commercial, administration, finance, health and safety, and port operations.

Roles include junior site cost controller, junior structural engineer, work package engineer, civil and structural superintendent, welding repair specialist, assistant accountant, QA systems lead, and cost accountant, alongside site design coordinator, port operations supervisor, and materials controller.

There are also openings for construction and engineering leads, section engineers, sub-agents, welding engineers, package managers, assistant quantity surveyors, commissioning engineers, painting and insulation superintendents, completions leads, and other specialist posts linked to major projects on the site.

Many of the jobs are permanent, full-time positions based across Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, and Stockton, with competitive salaries and benefits highlighted in their job adverts.

Mayor Houchen said: “More investment means more opportunities for local people.

“There are currently 26 live vacancies advertised through Teesworks, with roles across engineering, construction, project management, commercial, administration, health and safety and more.

“Every new business that chooses to invest here creates more opportunities for local people to build a career close to home – and we’re seeing that happen right across the site.

“If you’re looking for your next role, or know someone who is, it’s well worth taking a look.

“More jobs. More investment. More opportunities for local people.”
