AN ABERDEEN-based engineering and construction company has declared it will create up to 80 jobs after clinching a contract with Dana Petroluem.
PD&MS Group, which currently employs around 800 people, will carry out a range of engineering modifications and offshore construction on Dana’s Triton and Western Isles FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) assets in the North Sea. The deal is initially for three years but could be extended to five.
Liam O’Neil, chief operating officer of PD&MS, said: “We look forward to working in partnership with the team at Dana to unlock maximum efficiencies through delivery of safe, predictable, and sustainable solutions. We have an extensive track record of delivering right-sized and innovative modification projects across the full asset lifecycle and combining this with our well-established decarbonisation expertise and experience means we are very well placed to deliver lower-carbon and lower-cost modifications to Dana over the term of the contract.”
PD&MS was formed in 2002 as a specialist engineer in the oil and gas sector, and now serves the broader energy sector.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
