Rovco adds US director to help growing portfolio
As the US takes on offshore wind, more companies in Europe can take advantage of resulting tech needs – and Rovco is no exception.
UK-based subsea technology firm Rovco has expanded its operations to North America with the appointment of Mitchell Johnson as director – Americas.
Johnson began his career as a marine surveyor, before moving to San Diego, where he worked on new construction ship building for the US Navy. He has lived and worked in Dubai, Singapore and West Africa, and has a ’strong focus on subsea robotic vehicles and entrepreneurship’, Rovco says.
“I see a lot of opportunity to adapt the operational excellence practices used in traditional oil and gas markets and apply them to the new, emerging energy mix here in the US,” he said. ”Rovco is a key player in this market, and it is an exciting time to move into the US.”
Group chief executive Brian Allen said the company had a large portfolio of subsea projects in offshore wind, which would help with entering the US market, which is still at a fledgling stage.
Last week it launched a range of initiatives to signal its intentions to develop the sector.
