Rovco makes key hire for surveys

Offshore subsea and survey project provider Rovco has appointed Craig Davis as Global Account Director – Survey to advance its global survey business.

The appointment has been made shortly after a £15.2 million (€17.8 million) investment in Rovco and sister technology company Vaarst in a Series B raise co-led by Legal & General Capital and Equinor Ventures.

Rovco delivers hydrographic, geophysical and shallow geotechnical survey services as well as ROV/AUV technology for large-scale projects. It carries out site characterisation and cable route surveys to unexploded ordnance identification and disposal, marine habitat assessnent surveys and archaeological investigations.

“Craig will leverage his more than 25 years’ offshore survey experience to help take the business to the next level,” the company says.

Davis joins Rovco from Fugro, where he worked on key accounts in Europe and Africa. Before that, he worked as Party Chief at MSS (Marine Scotland Science) in Aberdeen. He also managed projects and programmes with MSS.
