International subsea inspection, repair, maintenance (IRM) and light construction company Harkand has appointed a new head of engineering services in Europe.

In a new role for the company, Alan White will oversee the current 40-strong team to further expand the company’s capabilities in the region. This is key to supporting the additional DSV added to the fleet this year and the new build DSV due for delivery in early 2016.

White brings with him more than 20 years’ subsea construction and project management experience, having worked for other major contractors on various high profile subsea pipeline scopes of work from design through to fabrication and delivery in the North Sea. He will be based in Harkand’s European headquarters in Aberdeen, Scotland.

David Kerr, managing director, Harkand Europe, said: “We are excited to have someone of Alan’s calibre taking up this brand new position to grow our capabilities.
