On taking up the role, Ian said: “EnerMech is forging ahead with its ambitious growth and diversification strategy which makes this a very exciting time to join the company. I’m very pleased that the major projects, O&M, assurance expertise and experience I’ve developed in previous roles, including those as Senior SIA (Shell Internal Auditor) and Head of Internal Investigation for PDO for many years will support the company as it moves to new markets and geographies.”
Regional Director, Carl Mook, said: “Ian’s expertise and breadth and depth of knowledge will be pivotal in taking EnerMech to the next level as we continue our programme of extending our global reach and further developing our asset and integrity management, O&M and TAR capabilities across new and existing markets.
