Oil and gas service provider to hire 700 experts over the next two years
Over the next two years GL Noble Denton, part of the GL Group, plans to hire 700 technical experts to add to its current staff of 2,900 as part of its launch as a rebranded oil and gas service provider.
New technical personnel, engineers, and marine operations specialists will join the technical service provider whose portfolio was formed with the combination of former marine and offshore consultancy Noble Denton with GL's oil and gas division.
The stage was set back in April 2009 when Germany-based Germanischer Lloyd merged with London-based Noble Denton to form a fully-integrated technical assurance and consulting company.
As an independent advisor, GL Noble Denton is a full-service provider with broad upstream, midstream and downstream capabilities.
"With rising oil prices we expect a high demand for consultancy and assurance services in the oil and gas industry. It is obvious that the backlog of investments will come to an end sooner than later", says John Wishart, president of GL Noble Denton. "We want to be ready in time."
GL Noble Denton supports and assists oil and gas clients in all technical, safety and assurance related questions. This includes onshore production, onshore pipelines, storage, import terminals, LNG facilities, refineries and petrochemical plants, distribution networks as well as mobile offshore drilling units, floating production systems, fixed platforms, subsea and riser systems, offshore support vessels, tankers and shipping and offshore pipelines.
