ICE Seeking 50 Engineers for Expansion
Independent naval architecture and marine engineering consultancy ICE has expanded the design facilities of its subsidiary in Galati, Romania and is recruiting 50 additional engineers to help deliver its order book, the firm announced today. That brings the number of employees to 350, most of whom are working on current contracts both in the commercial and offshore sector.
At a time when many companies are laying off employees, ICE said its expansion has added a new annex containing yet another modern office landscape with associated meeting room and other facilities to its 8,000 square meter design center. This latest investment brings the total spend at ICE’s Galati facilities to several times what was required under the privatisation agreement when the former ship research institute was acquired fifteen years ago. Regular investments since then have provided the company with substantial building upgrades, up to the minute IT hardware and software, as well as comprehensive training and development.
