Major contract win creates 130 new jobs
A MAJOR North Sea contract has been won by offshore specialists CDS Energy Services, which will see the creation of 130 new jobs.
The contract won by the Hull-based firm will involve the replacement of two flare stacks and a bridge on the Tyra East and Tyra West platforms in the Danish sector of the North Sea.
Howard Laybourne, managing director at CDS Energy Services, said: “This is a major new win for CDS, strengthening our reputation for providing cost-effective and innovative offshore solutions. After the brilliant news from Siemens this is a further indication that Hull and its locally-based companies can be competitive in the world energy sector.
“The project is technically demanding. It will involve five months of planning prior to the delivery stage which will have to be completed within a very short shut down period.
“CDS is delighted to win such a prestigious contract and to be able to create so many new jobs across a variety of skill sectors, giving the local economy a real boost as our preference is to utilise skilled local labour.”
Based in east Hull, close to the docks, the company supplies project management and engineering solutions to the oil, gas, petro-chemical and renewables industries.
