The PES Group is a group of companies operating in the engineering and services sectors, which began its activities in 1979.
It currently employs over 200 permanent engineers, with significant experience in the oil and gas, energy, renewable energy, chemical, petrochemical and automotive sectors.
The PES Group provides technical and engineering services (civil engineering, rotating machinery, static equipment, processes, HSE design, electrical instrumentation, layout and pipework), delivering over 350,000 engineering hours per year to all major oil and gas companies, EPC contractors, industrial manufacturers, etc.
PES currently has eight offices in Italy: its head office in Rosignano Solvay (LI), as well as offices in Livorno, San Donato Milanese, Florence, Rome, Bari, Vibo Marina (VV) and Gela (CL).
Abroad, the PES Group operates in three countries (the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and Romania). Furthermore, a series of strategic partnerships, established across virtually every continent, support the company in providing multidisciplinary engineering, services, service management, inspections and shipments, as well as the recruitment and hiring of local staff.
These will ensure that activities relating to mechanical engineering and package works within the assigned project are carried out efficiently and cost-effectively, in accordance with contractual specifications, quality standards and safety/environmental requirements.
Report to Jacket Engineering Coordinator, the Mechanical & Machinery Engineer is responsible for the specification, design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of mechanical equipment and rotating/static machinery used in oil and gas facilities.
