Description
Aberdeen based oil and gas services company Bilfinger Salamis UK (BSUK) has announced plans to create up to 300 new jobs. The jobs follow BSUK's securing of a contract with Danish oil company Maersk to work on the Culzean gas field. The work will be related to preparation and installation of the gas platform. The work is expected to last around eight or nine months, and will cover the onshore preparation and installation of the platform before it is sailed into place in 2018. Production is expected to begin from the platform in 2019.
