Aberdeen firm's growth spurt to lead to 30 new Granite City jobs

Headcount has increased globally from 204 to 235 since May 2022, and the firm expects to create around 50 jobs across its operations during the next phase of its strategy. About 30 of those additional roles are likely to be in Aberdeen. The newly released results reveal that turnover for the group’s 2022-23 financial year totalled £41.7 million, a 20 per cent increase on the previous 12 months.

The firm remains a strong performer in the UK and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea, while also growing its international footprint. Oil and gas remains a core industry, but the group has an additional focus on new onshore industries, with “diversified growth foundations” in place across renewables, telecoms, petrochemicals, nuclear and defence. ICR has additional UK offices in Carnforth and Hemel Hempstead, and international operations in Stavanger (Norway), Abu Dhabi, Houston (US) and Perth (Australia) as well as partners in some 25 countries.

Chief executive Jim Beveridge said: “This is extremely positive growth for our business and is testament to the hard work and drive of our team. The continued internationalisation of ICR further supports our long-term sustainability, ultimately helping to create meaningful and lasting jobs to make us part of the energy transition. These outcomes illustrate how the business is remaining relevant across multiple sectors as we diversify our portfolio while maintaining and developing opportunities in existing markets.”

Alan McQuade, group managing director at ICR, added: “Our global operations and network of strategic partners mean that we can react quickly to customer requirements, and this footprint provides access to further growth for ICR. As we aim to capitalise on these opportunities, we are actively seeking to expand our team across all operations.”
