↑ 7%John Swinney responds to 40 jobs lost at major Aberdeen energy firm. Enermech supports oil and gas operations around the world (Image: Enermech) JOHN Swinney has accused the UK Government of "sucking the economic life out of one of Scotland's most important industries" after it emerged that jobs are at risk at a major energy services firm in Aberdeen. Energy services giant EnerMech confirmed last week that some of its 640-strong Aberdeen workforce had been consulted on potential redundancies. The business, which provides mechanical and electrical support to oil and gas companies across the globe, has faced a downturn in activity linked to the wars in Iran and Ukraine, according to the Press & Journal. EnerMech is reportedly looking to make around 6% of its workforce redundant, around 40 jobs, with a spokesperson for the firm saying they made the "difficult decision" due to a "challenging market environment". On Tuesday, SNP MSP Jack Middleton asked Swinney during First Minister's Questions what the Scottish Government will do to help support Aberdonians who are "bearing the brunt of senseless Westminster energy policy". Middleton said: "Job losses have recently been announced at Aberdeen-based energy firm EnerMech. "Sadly, there are stories every single week of oil and gas redundancies in the northeast of Scotland, but Labour won't scrap the energy profits levy that's costing 1000 jobs a month, and Westminster won't allow the people of Scotland to control their own energy. "So, with the powers available to him, what will the First Minister do to support Aberdonians who are bearing the brunt of senseless Westminster energy policy?" Replying to Middleton, Swinney said there are a number of powers over energy policy that are reserved to the UK Government and urged the Prime Minister to remove the Energy Profit Levy (EPL). The windfall tax was introduced by Rishi Sunak's Tory administration in 2022, and is currently set at a 38% rate on oil and gas firms' profits. When combined with other levies, the tax rate paid by oil and gas companies in the UK is 78%. The levy was created as a surcharge on energy firms amid extraordinary profits from soaring energy prices during the cost-of-living crisis. However, the SNP have repeatedly called on the UK Government to scrap the levy, with Swinney saying it is "damaging" Scotland's economy and communities. "I've made it very clear to the Prime Minister the importance I attach to the removal of the energy profits levy, which is sucking the economic life out of one of Scotland's most important industries," Swinney said. "Given some of the issues that we are facing in relation to energy supply and security of supply, I think the steps that are not being taken by the UK Government are causing exactly the damage that Mr Middleton puts to me." The First Minister continued: "What I can assure Mr Middleton about is that the Scottish Government will do everything we can to ensure that the Northeast economy is supported with the investment that is made." Swinney added that the Scottish Government will continue to "press" the UK Government to remove the EPL at the "earliest possible opportunity". EnerMech's job cuts come just two years after the company announced a major restructuring programme following a change of ownership. In 2024, around 120 positions at its Aberdeen site were earmarked for redundancy as part of wider cuts across the business. It was reported last week that some of the proposed cuts will be at EnerMech's training operations. An EnerMech spokesperson said: "In response to a challenging market environment and evolving customer needs, National Gas is undertaking a strategic review of its operations. "As part of that process, National Gas has reached the difficult decision to initiate redundancies, subject to all necessary consultation. "Aberdeen remains a vital part of EnerMech's global operations. "Our focus remains on delivering ongoing projects safely and efficiently, and on supporting our team through this period."

New North Sea FPSO job in EnerMech's hands. March 24, 2026, by Melisa Cavcic Aberdeen-headquartered integrated solutions specialist EnerMech has won a new multi-year deal with Malaysia's Bumi Armada for a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel deployed in the UK sector of the North Sea. EnerMech has been awarded a five-year contract to provide Bumi Armada with crane management and lifting services on the FPSO Armada Kraken in the UK North Sea, East of Shetland. The scope of work could extend to shutdown services, hose and pipework integrity, and rotating equipment. Charles 'Chuck' Davison Jr., EnerMech's CEO, highlighted: "With decades of experience in crane management and lifting services on FPSOs around the world, its teams bring proven technical excellence and a rigorous 'right-first-time' mindset to every project. This ensures safety, reliability and lifecycle value remain at the core of its execution strategy. "We look forward to working closely with Bumi Armada's team on the Kraken FPSO and building on our strong foundation of trust, innovation and shared ambitions to deliver a collaborative and successful campaign." The award, which falls under the firm's Lifting Solutions business line and includes helideck and scaffolding support, is perceived to reinforce the strength of the organisation's multi-skilled, hybrid crewing model. The Scottish firm's integrated crewing model is deemed to consolidate crane operators, crane maintainers, and deck crew, lowering costs, improving efficiency, and streamlining operations by reducing the required personnel on board. The FPSO Kraken is located in the UK block 9/2b, 350 kilometrs northeast of Aberdeen. This is a converted Suezmax tanker with a nameplate production capacity of 80,000 bbl/day, storage capacity in excess of 600,000 barrels, and the ability to handle 460,000 barrels per day of reservoir fluids. Daniel Collins, SVP Lifting Solutions, emphasized: "Key to its success within the Lifting Solutions division at EnerMech is making sure that every lift is optimized, and its reputation for driving client value is one that Offshore Energy International value immensely. "The harsh climate of the UK North Sea is an environment that we are accustomed to operating in and our safe, efficient and compliant solutions are tailored to maximize crane availability and machine downtime." The latest contract award follows further North Sea wins in early 2025, including a deal to provide lifting services for the FPSO Anasuria and another for offshore shutdown support services on the FPSO Triton.
