“I am extremely pleased that we are continuing to strengthen our already good relationship with BP,” said John Pearson, Managing Director of AMEC’s Europe & West Africa business . “This major award in the North Sea demonstrates BP’s ongoing confidence in our project delivery and programme management capabilities.”

AMEC has a strong team and access to high-quality engineering, project and construction management resources, which is key to the team’s project delivery objectives. We look forward to building our relationship with AMEC, and to the delivery of safe and compliant projects over the mid to long term.”
