Engineering and construction company PD&MS has secured a modifications contract with Dana Petroleum, which is expected to create up to 80 jobs at its Aberdeen base.
The contract, which is for an initial three years with options to extend to five years, forms part of a Dana Petroleum strategy to consolidate its contractors in the modifications space.
The award will see PD&MS carry out a range of engineering modifications and execute offshore construction on Dana’s Triton and Western Isles floating production storage and offloading assets in the North Sea.
PD&MS' chief operating officer Liam O’Neil said: “We look forward to working in partnership with the team at Dana to unlock maximum efficiencies through delivery of safe, predictable, and sustainable solutions.
“We have a track record of delivering right-sized and innovative modification projects across the full asset lifecycle and combining this with our decarbonisation expertise and experience means we are well placed to deliver lower carbon and lower cost modifications to Dana over the term of the contract.”
Eiko van Dalen, chief operating officer at Dana Petroleum, added: “Our aim is to offer clarity and commitment to our supply chain partners through a series of three-year contracts, all of which include options for extension.
“Taken together, they represent a £71m commitment to the regional economy over the next three years.”
PD&MS, which currently employs over 800 people, was founded in 2002 and has been owned by private equity firm Inflexion since 2014.
