An Adura environmental assessment records 27 direct full-time permanent jobs specific to Jackdaw, with the platform unstaffed for most of its operating life; the operator says the combined Jackdaw and Rosebank projects support 3,500 jobs at peak construction. A consultation on Jackdaw closes on 8 August, and the environmental impact assessment for Rosebank was published on Thursday as Burnham’s decision nears.

Context

It is the first public disclosure of the operator's own employment numbers since the 14 July industry letter urging approval.
