Zenocean’s philosophy of ‘walking the job’ requires a broad technical capability to support all aspects of subsea engineering from concept through to abandonment. This broad perspective is the cornerstone of our organisation. We have brought together engineers, designers, analysts, surveyors, project managers and experienced offshore personnel under one roof and their linked insight provides a fertile ground for innovative thinking. This in-house capability is supported by alliances with key providers of specialist services to provide the complete subsea engineering and project management capability.

As organisations concentrate on their core business and contractors assume responsibility for increasingly complex scopes of work, the potential for rework and resultant cost over-runs is considerable. In an era where cost reduction is critical to the future of our industry, the ability to apply effective project and operations management throughout the life-cycle of an offshore development is critical.

At Zenocean we have captured the knowledge and learning which spans this life-cycle from concept and design, through manufacture and installation to operations and eventual decommissioning, and apply this to the interfaces between the phases of the job, between different departments and between different companies, where the risk of rework is so great. In this way we ensure that the specification expresses the customer’s desires and that the deliverable fulfils their needs.

The currency in which we all trade is information – the why, how, where and when – and through our capabilities in analysis, design, installation, in-service evaluation, intervention, repair and decommissioning, we manage and apply this information. It is this application that is the key to our success.

To many people Zenocean is a well known name having been in business for some twenty years, to some it may be less well known, however, the constituent parts of Zenocean, our parent company and the people who work in them, bring decades of experience to bear on behalf of our clients.

However, experience in itself is not enough to deliver the world class performance which we seek. Outstanding performance delivered year-in and year-out is a function of how our people behave, how we interact with colleagues, our customers and the public at large. Our job as leaders is to provide a behavioural framework within which our people can function effectively. In turn our employees are responsible for adopting our core principles and applying these on behalf of all our stakeholders – our fellow staff, our shareholders and our customers.

These core principles are easily expressed:

All of these commitments add up to our statement of Corporate Responsibility and as we develop, our challenge will be to meet the high standards that we have set. I am confident that we will do so as we have assembled a talented and committed team which I am proud to lead. However continuous improvement requires feedback in order to assess how well we are doing and to identify areas where our performance could be improved. To this end I welcome comments from anyone with an interest in what Zenocean is doing.
