ENGINEERING students were given a slice of subsea action during a pizza evening held by Subsea UK.
More than 70 students showed their interest in the subsea sector at the learning event, held at Robert Gordon University.
Speakers from Technip Offshore Wind, Cutting Underwater Technology, GE Oil and Gas, Flexlife and Total highlighted opportunities for graduates within the subsea sector, gave advice and helped arrange site visits for students to learn first-hand about what the industry has to offer.
Neil Gordon, chief executive of Subsea UK, said: “Meaningful collaboration between industry and academia is essential in the drive to train and mentor qualified people, and address the skills shortage that the subsea sector is currently facing.”
Subsea UK said all of the main engineering disciplines are required in the subsea industry and with the sector’s projected growth, thousands of career opportunities were anticipated in the near future.
The RGU event was one in a series of nights being held for engineering students at universities across the UK. The programme has been conceived and organised by Subsea UK operations manager Trish Banks.
