JEE Ltd, a leading subsea engineering and training firm, is to expand its operations in Aberdeen.
Yesterday it announced two new directors to help drive its strategy of quadrupling turnover to £20 million by the end of 2016.
Trevor Jee, managing director, said: "The Jee team, which is spread between Aberdeen and Tonbridge, in Kent, has already outgrown the current Aberdeen office, having doubled in size this year.
"As part of a carefully managed growth strategy, we have plans in place to expand the Aberdeen team into new Westhill premises and open an engineering office in Central London, with the potential of creating 40 jobs in the UK by the end of 2013 and a total of 150 UK jobs over the next four years."
Mr Jee founded the multi-disciplinary firm in 1988 and it remains independent and privately owned with the Aberdeen office headed up by Jonathan Lindsay.
He added: "Our biggest growth area has been in subsea projects. A large focus for 2012 has been adding to our subsea engineering team, building on the wealth of knowledge the company already possesses as our client portfolio rapidly increases in this area.
"This recruitment drive will carry on into 2013, allowing the Jee team to continue providing clients with the range of expert knowledge they are looking for in large and complex projects."
Mr Jee said the company was also helping to address the industry skills shortage, developing engineers from outside the industry into subsea specialists through a conversion programme, creating a bigger talent pool for the sector.
As well as detailed design, front-end engineering design, integrity management and engineering analysis services, Jee claims to be "a world-leader in non-trenching, fishing interaction, low-cost connectors and lifetime extension – covering the whole of subsea engineering for the whole of life-of-field".
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.

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.
