Technical Division – ensuring the safe, efficient, and compliant operation of vessels across the fleet.
Gas Infrastructure – supporting key infrastructure developments, including floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs).
New Energy and Decarbonisation – exploring innovative solutions that reduce emissions and support the transition to a low-carbon future.

You may also have the opportunity to travel to other locations as part of your development.
