Wood’s US work helps create 1,000 extra jobs

Aberdeen-headquartered energy and engineering services group Wood has secured a string of new contracts across the US worth around $250 million (£192m).

The firm will deliver construction, fabrication, engineering and operations and maintenance work to clients for a wide range of pipeline services, shale facilities, infrastructure and onshore engineering projects.

Thanks to contracts stretching from Alaska to Louisiana, Wood’s Asset Solutions Americas business has created around 1,000 jobs in the last year.

The chief executive of the Asset Solutions Americas division, Andrew Stewart, said: “These contracts show the strength and expertise of Wood to deliver a diversified portfolio of energy and industrial services to a broad range of valued clients in various sectors.”

In the Americas, the firm employs more than 27,000 people, working across ten countries delivering upstream, midstream, downstream, chemical and process capital projects.
