Sourcing new engineers
 Aker Solutions has swooped on an established engineering firm in northern Norway which will put it in a better position to compete for offshore projects.
Aker has acquired Sandnessjøen Engineering in Sandnessjøen in mid-Norway – which is on the same latitude as Iceland – and which has already been supplying engineering and project management services to the offshore oil and gas industry.
Aker has also promised to double the workforce there from the current staff of 24 in the next couple of years as its grows in the region, following on from the decision to establish a new office in Tromsø last December.
“The pace of growth will of course depend on our success in the market and our ability to recruit first-class team members, but generally our markets are strong,”declared Aker's head of maintenance, modifications and operations, Tore Sjursen.
Sandnessjøen Engineering is to work closely with Aker's new Tromsø office, and others across Norway. Advertisement
