Perth-based building firm, Clachan Construction Ltd, has collapsed, blaming a general downturn in the construction industry.
All 200 of the company's staff, who work at central Scottish sites including Longannet Power Station and Stirling, are expected to be made redundant.
Joint receiver Claire Middlebrook said, "The directors of Clachan Construction asked the Bank of Scotland to appoint receivers for the business on Tuesday at 6pm. Unfortunately it looks like most, if not all, of the company's workforce will be made redundant."
Receivers Henderson Loggie said they were currently in the middle of assessing the company's position.
Meanwhile, Mid Scotland and Fife Tory MSPs Murdo Fraser and Liz Smith have called on the Scottish Government to make PACE (Partnership Action for Continuing Employment) services available to help those who face losing their jobs.
Mr Fraser said, "The news that Clachan Construction Ltd has gone into receivership will be a huge blow to the local economy in Perthshire. With people being made unemployed each week, help is needed now for the unemployed and hard-pressed employers across Scotland.
"I, along with my colleague Elizabeth Smith, have contacted SNP ministers to ask for PACE support to be sent in to help respond to the redundancy situation,” he added.
