Aberdeen-based First Marine Solutions (FMS) has hired two new employees to strengthen the company’s survey and positioning service and capture more offshore renewables work.
The company has appointed Carl Lafferty (pictured, left) and Marc McGruther (pictured, right) as survey and positioning manager and project delivery manager, respectively.
A new survey base, in addition to the new appointments will help position FMS for growth in the offshore renewables market, the company said.
Lafferty joins FMS with over 14 years’ experience of the on and offshore energy industry, having most recently overseen the project management function at Fugro GB (North) Marine.
McGruther will oversee the project team.
FMS managing director Steven Brown said: “This investment allows us to fit the final piece of the puzzle, positioning FMS as a fully integrated mooring and marine service provider, offering marine consultancy services, equipment supply and rental, and survey and positioning services across various sectors around the globe.
“The appointments of Carl and Marc are a fantastic addition to the FMS team, and I have no doubt that their extensive knowledge and expertise will not only strengthen our survey and positioning service but bring improvements to the whole business.”
