ClerkMaxwell has secured framework agreements with four major North Sea operators with the potential value of up to $23.3 million over the next three years.

Since Costain completed the acquisition of the Aberdeen-based upstream oil and gas consultancy in April of last year, the company doubled its workforce to 100 people with plans to recruit another 30 engineers over the next three months.

Graham Callander, business development director at ClerkMaxwell, added, “Our ability to bring in detailed design and operational experience into the earlier phases of front-end projects is reaping rewards for the business. We have a team not only highly skilled in front-end activities, but also with extensive project delivery experience across a wide range of engineering disciplines.”
