SUBSEA design business Ennsub has plans to hire up to 20 people after picking up a multi-million pound contract to make systems for ROVOP.
Westhill based Ennsub will spend around six months designing and manufacturing two remotely operated vehicle launch and recovery systems.
Those will be installed on the Ceona vessel, which is being commissioned by oil and gas construction firm Ceona, in the third quarter of this year ahead of its launch in 2015.
The new staff will effectively double Ennsub's workforce over the next year.
ROVOP, also based in Westhill, recently won a five-year agreement with Ceona to provide remotely operated vehicles to its new fleet of deepwater pipelaying and construction vessels.
Scott Macknocher, managing director of Ennsub, said the company was delighted to have secured the work.
He said: "Our focus since the inception of Ennsub has been to develop industry-leading equipment and products which reflect the criticality of reliable subsea operations and we believe that this award recognises this ambition."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
