Bibby Offshore has set its sights on Houston.
Its Texas-based division Bibby Subsea has launched a recruitment drive in America’s energy capital to coincide with development of its new Houston base.
The new premises, due for completion this month, consist of a 6,300 sq. ft. office space and a 2,000 sq. ft. warehouse and workshop area.
The firm is now looking to strengthen its core team by more than 70 onshore and offshore specialists in the area.
Andrew Duncan, president and managing director of Bibby Subsea, said: “The new office is located in the heart of the Energy Corridor, a hub for oil and gas operations in Houston, providing an ideal position to deliver our wide range of subsea capabilities to the North American market.”
The firm also appointed Robert Richmond as vessel operations and project manager to help facilitate planned growth.
Mr Duncan added: “The opening of a new office and Rob’s appointment are exciting new developments, allowing for future growth and team expansion. Following a number of successful contract wins in the region, we are expanding rapidly and have outgrown our current Houston facility.”
