Job opportunities

New developments in the area will lead to both construction jobs and permanent jobs.

For example, The Ayrshire is the new international golf course and hotel which is planned for Marine Drive in Irvine. This new development is expected to provide around 250 construction jobs. Once complete the development will require around 90 full time and 45 part time employees ranging from green keepers to bar tenders, caddies and hotel managers.

Another example is Ardrossan North Shore, a project to extend the successful Ardrossan marina, creating housing and business developments in the area. The project is expected to create the equivalent of 414 full time jobs.

Other projects, such as the redevelopment of Kilwinning Main Street are designed to stimulate the economy and bring jobs to the town.

Projects that provide much needed business space for small businesses, such as Stevenston Business Centre and the redevelopment of the Nacco site will also make an important contribution to bringing jobs in to the area.
