International environmental service specialist Total Waste Management Alliance (TWMA) said yesterday it was looking to expand its workforce after winning several new contracts, including a £15million deal with Maersk Oil.
The three-year Maersk agreement, which has a two-year extension option, will see Aberdeen-based TWMA provide drill cuttings process and handling services for projects in the North Sea.
It extends an existing arrangement to provide drilling waste management services to the Noble Ton van Langeveld (NTVL) semi-submersible and adds new work on the Ensco 101 jack-up.
TWMA is expected to announce details of other large contracts it has secured recently within the next few weeks.
Ronnie Garrick, the firm’s managing director, said: “We are delighted that Maersk Oil has extended our services on NTVL and expanded work to a jack-up.”
He added: “As new environmental legislation impacts on more companies, we expect demand for our services to continue to soar.”
TWMA works for a wide range of clients supplying services including the treatment, handling and recycling of by-products of the drilling process.
The company was formed in 2000 and now employs about 300 people in Aberdeen plus sites in Peterhead and Shetland as well as overseas locations Dubai, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria, Norway, the US and Far East
A TWMA spokeswoman said recently secured contracts would mean several new positions in Aberdeen.
The firm has grown fast in recent years, winning lucrative work in the US, Africa, the Middle East, Norway and North Sea.
Recent expansion has meant a move to a new global headquarters in Broadfold Road, Bridge of Don. The firm previously had its HQ at Tullos.
TWMA acquired Norwegian firm Soilcare for £3million in 2007, allowing it to quickly move into important international markets.
A year later, it bought Aberdeen-based Engineering Environmental Services for a seven-figure sum.
The two deals allowed the company to focus on its international development plans and major contracts resulted in West Africa, the Middle East and Norway.
