Two UK engineering firms have joined forces to offer what they're calling a new project delivery alternative for North Sea operators.
Aberdeen-based Apollo Offshore and Kintore-based AquaTerra Group say they want to offer an "agile, lean and integrated engineering business" via FOS Group.
FOS Group managing director Jonathan White, from Apollo, said: “There is a truly authentic drive at FOS to help shape and build a more sustainable and responsible North Sea economy. We are offering solutions which are technically led and fit for purpose, thus giving our clients maximum value and an earlier return on investment.”
The firm has 100 multidiscipline onshore engineering and design personnel along with over 150 multiskilled offshore construction workers. It is expected that another 100 new positions will be created as the firm grows.
White added: “The North Sea needs new solutions to enable sustainability whilst continuing to provide value for operators, supply chain, government and the local economy alike. FOS represents an exciting opportunity for our staff and clients and provides the market with a welcome alternative for successful project delivery in a mature basin."
