FOSTER Wheeler Energy Limited, the UK-based international project management, engineering, procurement and construction contractor serves the North-east through its Middlesbrough-based Teesside Operation.

Through continuous review of its operations, recruiting additional talented professionals, and listening to its clients and their changing requirements, the Teesside team has enhanced the services it delivers to its existing alliance clients and has successfully attracted new and important clients with its comprehensive study, front-end design and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) service offering. This team has delivered strong growth in its core business sectors: oil and gas, refining, petrochemicals, fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Foster Wheeler has been delivering process engineering and project solutions in the North-east for over 20 years. The company’s successful growth in Teesside reflects its increased ability to deliver value to the many manufacturing companies in the region, right from the early investment planning phases of their projects – not only for their projects in the UK but for their international projects too.

“Here in Teesside we provide a local, responsive and flexible service to our clients for their UK and international projects, fully supported by the rest of the Foster Wheeler family. Our process design expertise is invaluable in helping our clients shape their investment plans, and select the right technology and process scheme. We then deliver the best-practice and safe execution of the EPC phase that our clients expect,” comments Graham Duce, Foster Wheeler’s general manager Teesside Operations

With such a vibrant regional economy, Foster Wheeler is very focused on meeting today’s challenges: identifying innovative design solutions, ensuring high-quality resources are available, and developing supply chain collaborations.

Foster Wheeler has been in business for more than 115 years and has permanent operations in 26 countries with over 12,500 employees worldwide. Foster Wheeler optimises the use of its global network of operations to deliver a single or multi-centre execution strategy that offers flexible, local and cost-effective delivery of services, wherever projects are located.
