Specialist subsea foundations and anchoring solutions company, Subsea Micropiles, has announced expansion into larger premises and strategic leadership changes, as it anticipates a period of substantial growth for the business.

The new premises, located in global subsea hub Westhill, is a decision made by the company to accommodate its forecasted expansion of the team and provide a workspace conducive to collaboration with a focus on reducing project cost and risk. The move underlines Subsea Micropiles’ commitment to the region and accommodates the anticipated headcount growth, expected to increase by a further 50% in 2026.

The office will serve as a strategic base for the company’s engineering, operations, and project delivery teams allowing it to better serve clients in offshore energy, renewables and infrastructure markets.

David Watt joins the company as Chief Operations Officer as Subsea Micropiles prepares for commercial projects and building local manufacturing capacity as the business scales.

David joins from Global Gases Group, where he most recently served as Director UK and Group Operations, bringing a strong track record in driving operational excellence across several global organisations.

In addition, Mark Williamson will take on the role of Chief Commercial Officer after successfully guiding the business through a period of significant growth. Mark has over 30 years’ experience, delivering a broad range of innovative and commercial growth projects.
