M&E Contractor Dalkia has started redundancy talks at its southern region.

Around 34 jobs are under threat at the £607m turnover firm which is a subsidiary of the giant EDF Group and was formerly known as Imtech.

The Enquirer understands a number of contracts are coming to an end without immediate starts in the pipeline to replace them.

Colin Brunton, MD Dalkia Engineering South said:  “We have initiated a collective consultation process in our southern region, which we anticipate will affect approximately 34 roles in total. This will optimise the organisation and increase operational efficiency during a short transition period.

“Our outlook remains very positive, with more than £200m of M&E projects to be delivered over the next few years in our strategic sectors, notably in Healthcare, Heritage, and Decarbonisation. Our focus remains to build an organisation that effectively supports our clients to deliver complex projects.”
