Energy services firm Senergy is seeking to more than double its workforce in Edinburgh after opening a new office in the city.
The Aberdeen-based group currently employs 16 people in the capital but its new office is capable of housing up to 40 staff and the company expects to create at least ten jobs over the coming two years.
Chief operating officer Alasdair Buchanan, pictured, said Senergy – founded in 2005 – employs about 700 people around the world and had been looking to expand its operations in Edinburgh on the back of growing demand for its services, which include project management and training in sectors including as oil and gas and renewables.
He said: “Senergy has successfully managed an ambitious growth programme in several key areas throughout this year and this is the latest part of our evolution.
“The company has already extended facilities and collaborations across the world – from joint-venture research projects with universities in Malaysia and the US, to opening a new Middle East facility in Dubai, while at the same time bolstering our base with a new office in Aberdeen.”
