Specialist oil & gas engineering firm, Quanta, is strengthening its presence in Aberdeen with the opening of a new office and the appointment of a regional director for Scotland.
Quanta’s new office is centrally located in H1, Hill of Rubislaw in the heart of Aberdeen’s oil and gas industry and will provide a new regional base for the company to service its clients across North East Scotland.
The office will be headed up by new regional director, Scott Douglas, who will be responsible for supporting key Aberdeen clients and driving further growth for Quanta in the oil and gas, and renewable sector.
40-year-old Scott has a wealth of experience in oil and gas, having spent his entire working career in the sector. Before joining Quanta, Scott was business development manager for Stork with lead responsibility for supporting oil and gas operators across the UK Continental Shelf. Prior to that, Scott worked in several senior business development roles for some of the energy industry’s largest names including Semco Maritime, Sparrow Group and Cape.
