Oil and gas consultant Optimus Seventh Generation has won two safety training contracts as it targets expansion into the North Sea maritime sector.
The deals with Bibby Ship Management and a an undisclosed Asia-based client will see the Aberdeen-based firm recruit five more staff to its current 40-strong team.
Optimus has commenced a “culture of care” diagnostic on six Bibby vessels in the North Sea in order to develop a cultural behaviour prorgamme.
The contract in Asia, which started in June, involves safety leadership training at a Singaporean firm, followed by behavioural coaching sessions on the firm’s rig.
“The recent contract wins strengthen our recent 2014 successes in Asia, and boost our presence into the marine sector of the North Sea,” said Derek Smith, Optimus Seventh Generation chief executive.
“The work further increases our international footprint by deploying trainers to our second client in Asia, having secured a contract with COSL Drilling Pan Pacific Limited in January, and to a number of Bibby Ship Management operated vessels in the North Sea.
“We have seen a significant uptake in work in Asia particularly in the drilling sector, and in the marine sector both in the North Sea and internationally.
“We believe we are uniquely placed to support these clients in delivering a meaningful evolution of safety culture and behaviour, and look forward to adding value and implementing real and lasting change to new and existing clients.”
