new subsea engineering division

several weeks ago i found a snippet suggesting neptune were considering establishing an engineering division, for the purposes of gaining work in the offshore FEED and similiar projects. however i couldnt find any further evidence.
the following info was posted 3 weeks ago in several recruitment sites (sorry only found it today). while theres no direct evidence they are neptune jobs, the contact for each potentially has a connection with neptune (i decided to delete that detail for the moment)
it would suggest they are going all out to establish that division, so as to prepare for the upcoming monster LNG projects coming in the next few years. beware gorgonitis.

additionally the text on this NMS website link appeared in the last week or 2, backing up this idea to some extent.

anyone with an enginnering background wishing to discuss any of these job adverts, please do.

enjoy the read.
