Tradespersons who have taken a plumber training course could find that their services are needed to help implement a new Building Schools for the Future (BSF) development.

Construction firm Morgan Ashurst - which currently employs more than 1,800 people throughout the UK - revealed this week that it has been named on a contract worth £7.8 million to build a new eco-school in Fife, Scotland.

The structure has already been designed by the firm's office in Glasgow and will include top-of-the-range, energy-efficient technology such as a combined heat and power engine.

And it could be that workers with approved plumbing skills are desperately needed to help fit the high-quality devices.

Commenting on the news, the company's managing director Harry Thorburn said: "We are always to keen to minimise our carbon footprint as much as we can on all of our construction sites and this project has given us an opportunity to use sustainable technologies."
