Two engineers from Wood Group have supported the National Subsea Research Initiative (NSRI) in its drive to speed up the development and implementation of near to market technologies in the subsea sector.
Jamie McCallum and Christer Fjellroth, who are both working towards becoming Chartered Engineers, beat off competition from a number of hopefuls who applied to join NSRI on a one year secondment last year.
Over the past 12 months, Jamie and Christer have carried out a number of engineering studies in a bid to widen the remit of NSRI’s initial oil and gas focus. Jamie was tasked with exploring the opportunities in offshore renewables for UK supply chain companies, while Christer focused on the potential and economic viability of deep sea mining.
They also developed NSRI’s Matchmaker database, a resource which aims to partner end users with technology researchers and developers in the renewables sector as well as the growing subsea mining community.
Maria Farid and Emmanuel Okoli, both engineers from Wood Group will be following in the footsteps of Jamie and Christer when they join NSRI on a one year secondment later this month.
