The Team

With over 25 years experience in the Oil and Gas gained from practicing Field Technician, through Operations Support, Project Engineering, Project and Development Management, Simon has the breadth and working knowledge required to manage large projects and field developments.

In the most recent past, Simon has worked at Project and Development Management level on numerous subsea tie-back developments in the capacity of both the 3rd party host delivering a solution and that of the 3rd party Operator looking for a ‘host’ solution.

With experience in engaging with Senior Executives, Commercial and Legal departments to ensure that the appropriate strategy for any project or development is set and implemented, Simon ensures the appropriate skill set within the team is in place to deliver, whilst complying with all value-adding assurance and governance processes.

Steve has worked in the Oil and Gas industry for nearly 30 years in Aberdeen and overseas. With a process engineering background Steve has had experience at all stages of design as well as practical ‘hands on’ construction and commissioning work. He has applied this knowledge across the full project development supply chain from appraise to execute. From early in his career Steve’s experience, aptitude to team build and ability to take responsibility to deliver, gave opportunities in a Project Management role.

Steve has worked in Operator, Consultancy and Service Provider roles and has significant experience of Governance systems and the requirements of Partner liaison and peer review (both as peer and presenter). In more recent years Steve has worked predominantly in the Engineering Manager role within an Operator Project Management Team delivering projects, but has complimentary corporate knowledge having sat on the Board as Operations Director for IGL Engineering and Poyry UK.
