of the challenges of hiring staff in the manufacturing sector. Since joining Jebsen & Jessen (SEA) the company has expanded beyond Asia Pacific opening operations in Malaysia and Dubai, they are now looking to expand to the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa in the near future. “In the offshore business, it’s important that you are close to your customers,” said Torben Christensen, managing director. “These areas are where the actual oil exploration and oil refinement

are taking place, so we’ve got a heightened interest in establishing our company there.” “Innovation in crane technology is also driving the company’s ability to expand. Soft ropetype cranes, specifically fibre rope have been in the works for over two years”, Ronald Wong, general manager – sales, shared. He continued: “The fibre rope cranes feature the ability to lift 100 percent of loads with no extra weight on the crane (compared to steel rope). Jebsen & Jessen Offshore is the only company of its kind to use this technology, and the rope is the first of its kind in the world to be used with deep sea AC cranes. The technology will be delivered in the first quarter of 2015 for more widespread use.” Redefining the workplace With the acquisition came the restructuring of the company, including a complete turnover of the health and safety requirements. Beyond new processes and refocused leadership, the goal has been to shift the culture and create a more safety conscious workplace. New processes and quality management controls are helping transform the way member of staff operate on a daily basis. To ensure they have the right people, Jebsen & Jessen Offshore continues to offer competitive compensation and benefit packages. All staff are supported by added investment in training and educational programs to ensure their development and allow them new opportunities within the organisation. w w w. o f f s h o r e . j j s e a . c o m
