Bilfinger set to create 300 new roles following TotalEnergies win
06/04/2022
Engineering and maintenance contractor Bilfinger UK has secured a major contract to deliver fabric maintenance campaign services on TotalEnergies’ Elgin and Franklin platforms, which are located in the UK Central North Sea.
The contract supports a 270-day campaign on the installations, which started in March 2022, creating 300 fixed-term positions. Bilfinger will provide fabric maintenance, scaffolding and rope access personnel.
Mike Henderson, Business Development and Commercial Director at Bilfinger UK, said: “We have supported TotalEnergies to operate and maintain its North Sea assets for more than a decade.
“This new contract win is testament to the strong relationship we have built with the operator’s team over this period and to the skills and expertise within Bilfinger for successfully delivering critical offshore projects. We are proud to be part of the team that is helping to extend the life of these offshore assets.”
The contract win follows Bilfinger commencing a five-year inspection contract for TotalEnergies’ Danish North Sea assets in July 2021.
