Fife Businesses Continuing to Make Their Mark in The Defence Sector
As part of Invest Fife’s DPRTE Learning Journey, Scott attended this event on behalf of Alltec Construction, engaging with buyers and prime contractors in the defence sector.
A useful programme for businesses looking to broaden their market reach.
Fresh Look for Alltec — New Business Cards Arrive
Following our recent rebranding and updates to our company structure, Alltec Construction and Alltec Energy now have brand‑new business cards in circulation.
A big thank you to John at The Sign Company for turning these around quickly and delivering a quality finish. Great to see the refreshed branding coming together across the business.
Team Success at Alltec Construction
A few weeks ago, we welcomed Martin Plant Hire to the Alltec yard to deliver CAT Scanning Training for eight of our employees.
Building skills across the team is a key part of how we work, and this training ensures our crews continue to operate safely and confidently on every site. A big well done to everyone who completed the course — great effort all round.
Partnership with Connekt EV Charging
We’ve recently supported the delivery of 3 new public EV charging installations for Connekt EV Charging as part of their ongoing rollout across rural Scotland.
Working alongside Alltec Energy, our team at Alltec Construction carried out the associated groundworks at the latest sites in Ullapool, Fort William and Golspie. Works included excavation, ducting, concrete foundations and reinstatement to support the installation of the new charging infrastructure.
Further locations in Grantown-on-Spey and Wick are programmed over the coming weeks.
It’s encouraging to see sustained investment in rural infrastructure. The transition to EV only succeeds when the supporting civil engineering and electrical infrastructure is delivered reliably and at scale — not just in urban centres, but across the Highlands and beyond.
We’re pleased to be playing our part in enabling the expansion of the charging network and look forward to continuing to support Connekt EV Charging as their programme progresses.
Alltec Construction & Energy Attend Girls in Energy Event
Alltec Construction and Alltec Energy were delighted to attend the Girls in Energy event at Fife College today, delivered in partnership with Shell UK.
The event brought together young women participating in the Girls in Energy programme, alongside students from across the wider college, to explore career opportunities within the energy and construction sectors. The initiative continues to play an important role in encouraging greater female representation within industries that have traditionally been male-dominated.
Our team hosted an interactive stall throughout the day, creating an engaging environment for open discussion. The format allowed us to speak directly with students about:
• Career pathways into construction and renewable energy
• Apprenticeship and trainee opportunities
• The breadth of roles available across project delivery, engineering, design, and energy services
• Real-life examples of projects delivered by Alltec
The level of engagement was extremely positive, with students showing genuine interest in understanding how the built environment and energy sectors operate in practice, and what skills and qualifications are required to enter the industry.
At Alltec Construction and Alltec Energy, we recognise the importance of early engagement, industry visibility, and supporting initiatives that widen access to careers. Events such as Girls in Energy provide a valuable platform to inspire the next generation and strengthen the future talent pipeline.
We would like to thank Shell UK and Fife College for organising such a well-structured and impactful event, and we look forward to supporting similar initiatives in the future.
Company Projects: Ferguson Vet Clinic
Alltec Energy is delighted to have worked alongside Alltec Construction on the successful completion of the Ferguson Vet Clinic project, delivering the electrical and mechanical packages throughout the development.
Following the previous contractor entering administration mid-build, Alltec Construction was appointed to take over the project, with Alltec Energy supporting the delivery of all key building services installations.
Working closely with the wider project team, Alltec Energy helped deliver a modern, high-quality veterinary clinic featuring fully integrated electrical and mechanical systems designed to support the day-to-day operation of the facility.
The project was later recognised with both the New Build Category award and Overall Winner title at these prestigious awards — a fantastic achievement for everyone involved.
The full project can be seen here on the Projects section of our website.
Employee Spotlight: Celebrating Our Newly Qualified Electricians
Alltec Energy is proud to celebrate a major milestone for two of our team members during National Apprenticeship Week.
Both of our electrical apprentices have successfully passed their FICA two-day test, officially qualifying them as fully certified electricians. This achievement marks the culmination of years of hard work, commitment, and hands-on learning, combining technical training with real-world experience delivered on live projects across the business.
Apprenticeships play a vital role at Alltec Energy, allowing us to develop skilled tradespeople from within while maintaining the high standards our clients expect. Watching our apprentices progress into fully qualified electricians is a clear reflection of the strength of our in-house teams, mentoring, and investment in people.
Congratulations to both electricians on this well-earned achievement — we look forward to seeing the next stage of your careers develop with Alltec Energy.
Team Success: Alltec Complete First Aid Training
The Alltec team has successfully completed their First Aid training, further strengthening our commitment to health, safety, and preparedness across all sites.
The session provided valuable hands-on experience, ensuring our team is confident in responding quickly and effectively in emergency situations. Joe proved to be a very willing volunteer throughout the training and was repeatedly used as the example—resulting in him being continuously wrapped up in bandages, much to the team’s amusement.
A great day of learning, teamwork, and practical skills. Well done to everyone involved for taking safety seriously while keeping the atmosphere positive and engaging.
Company News: New Year, New Workwear
Following Alltec Energy’s recent rebrand, we have upgraded our team’s workwear, introducing a new, refreshed uniform designed for comfort, practicality, and durability across all site operations.
The update was informed by direct staff engagement, with open conversations helping us understand what works best in the field. Feedback played a key role—particularly regarding our previous polo tops, which were considered too thick and uncomfortable in warmer conditions. The new lightweight, breathable polos enhance comfort and airflow while maintaining a professional appearance.
Staff were also given a choice between beanie hats and caps, acknowledging personal preference in day-to-day comfort. For colder or wetter conditions, high-quality waterproof yet breathable jackets have been introduced, offering reliable protection without compromising mobility or ease of movement.
This initiative demonstrates Alltec Energy’s commitment to listening to our workforce and providing practical, high-quality equipment that supports both wellbeing and performance on site.
Company Project: Pipework Heat Trace
As temperatures begin to fall, Alltec Energy is emphasizing the importance of preparing pipework—both external and in unheated areas—for winter conditions. Unprotected pipes are highly susceptible to freezing, which can cause them to expand, crack, and even burst, resulting in costly repairs and operational disruption.
Recently, our team completed a project installing heat trace systems and pipe insulation to protect exposed pipework for one of our clients. This combination ensures consistent temperature regulation and reliable protection throughout the coldest months.
For any pipework located outdoors or in areas without regular heating, now is the time to ensure it is properly insulated and winter-ready. Alltec Energy is ready to assist with assessment, installation, and preventative maintenance, helping systems remain safe and efficient all season long.
Team Success: Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling and Working at Height Training
Alltec Energy is proud to announce that every member of our site team has successfully completed Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling, and Working at Height training.
This milestone reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards across all operations, ensuring our workforce remains knowledgeable, competent, and fully compliant with current regulations. The training equips employees to identify potential hazards, handle materials safely, and work confidently at height.
We commend the team for their dedication to sustaining a safe working environment and upholding the rigorous safety standards that define Alltec Energy.
Company News: New Fence Panel Covers
Alltec Energy has upgraded its sites with brand-new HERAS fencing panel covers, supplied by Monster Mesh. The new covers are already making a strong impression, promoting our brand while maintaining a professional and tidy appearance for the public.
In addition to boosting visual appeal, the covers contribute to improved site safety and organisation, reflecting the high standards and attention to detail that Alltec Energy brings to every project.
Company News: Supporting Andys Man Club at Alltec Energy
At Alltec Energy, supporting positive mental health and wellbeing remains a core priority. This week, we reinforced that commitment by partnering with Andys Man Club Scotland, a leading organisation dedicated to men’s mental health and suicide prevention.
As part of the initiative, posters have been displayed across our sites and welfare areas, alongside easily accessible pamphlets and discreet pocket-sized cards supplied by Andys Man Club. These resources are available for anyone seeking support or wishing to share guidance with colleagues, friends, or family members who may be struggling.
By working with Andys Man Club, Alltec Energy aims to encourage open conversations about mental wellbeing, raise awareness, and reduce stigma—ensuring that no one has to face challenging times alone. Together, we can make a difference, one conversation at a time.
Company News – ’Tis the Season for External Lighting
As the darker months approach, Alltec Energy has been enhancing site safety and visibility by upgrading existing floodlights to energy-efficient LED systems.
The new lighting not only improves visibility for teams working in low-light conditions but also reduces energy consumption, helping sites remain cost-effective and winter-ready.
With brighter, more sustainable lighting in place, Alltec Energy is ensuring safer and more efficient operations through the season.
Company News: Alltec Christmas Spirit is Up!
The festive season is officially underway at Alltec Energy, with our Christmas tree now proudly on display. Each year, we add a personal touch with unique tree toppers, and this year Blair takes the spotlight as our shining star, while Daniel stars as the angel.

New Contract Award – Gourock Ferry Terminal
Alltec Energy is pleased to announce the award of a new contract for refurbishment works at Gourock Ferry Terminal.
The project will include alterations to the internal layout of the ticket office and waiting area, with new partition walls creating a clear separation between passenger and staff spaces. Additional staff welfare facilities, such as a tea preparation area, WC, and drying store, will also be provided.
Alltec Energy looks forward to collaborating closely with Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited and CalMac Ferries, and will be sharing updates and photos as the project progresses.
New Contract Award: Škoda, SEAT & CUPRA Extension
Alltec Energy is pleased to announce the award of a new contract to deliver an extension to the existing Škoda dealership, originally constructed by Alltec in 2018, to now incorporate SEAT and CUPRA facilities.
This development builds on our longstanding relationship with the client, which began with the successful delivery of the West End Škoda Garage in 2018. Since then, Alltec has provided ongoing maintenance and additional works across sites in Stirling, Edinburgh, and Dunfermline.
The extension will expand the dealership to accommodate the growing SEAT and CUPRA brands under one roof. Works include a new showroom, enhanced customer facilities, and upgrades throughout, all aligned with the latest manufacturer standards to provide a seamless brand experience.
