The result of a ballot on whether to accept fresh proposals form Wood Group is expected to close today.
It comes after both the company and unions held discussions to negotiate a new deal after the first North Sea strike action in more than a generation.
A number of 24-hour strikes and three-hour stoppages were held across seven of Shell’s North Sea assets.
As exclusively revealed by Energy Voice, both sides have made concessions in a bid to reach an agreement.
Wood Group has previously said changes to contracts are necessary in a bid to save costs and maintain jobs.
Since 2014, the company has been forced to make 10,000 job cuts globally from its operations.
Workers had warned there would be a significant loss to their income on the back of the initial proposals.
However, it is now understood the changes to salary will have less of a financial impact after negotiations took place.
Balloting of workers began earlier this month.
A spokeswoman for Wood Group said: “Following a series of in-depth discussions, Wood Group representatives, officials from the Unite and RMT unions and shop stewards have now drawn up a mutually agreeable proposal which we consider to be in the best interests of all parties.
“The new proposal recognises the skills, flexibility and capabilities of the incumbent offshore workforce, the challenges facing the industry and demonstrates collective leadership in shaping the future of the North Sea.
“We are currently in contact with all our offshore workers who are involved, to set out the terms of the new proposal, together with what it means to each individual’s terms and conditions.”
