Aberdeen-based Process Safety Solutions (PSS) has officially opened its new Wick facility in Caithness as the company is looking to capitalise on the Highland’s energy resources.
The new base, which currently employs five staff, will double its numbers in the next six months before growing to a team of 30 to 40 staff within two years.
“Wick was always on the radar in terms of another base for PSS,” said Doug Mackay, operations director of PSS.
“There is a large pool of local resources, which we are aiming to capture and retrain and make it a viable option for employment to the local workforce.
“As a location, it is the ideal to support the West of Shetland developments within the oil and gas sector.”
The company is also hoping to use the new facility to expand into the renewables market, offering engineering and maintenance services to the Smith Bank and Beatrice offshore wind sites.
