Four new staff members have joined the company’s operations division bolstering its service offering to play a central role in realising future growth ambitions.
The recruitment drive comes just six months into the company’s relaunch following a management buy-out earlier this year.
Oldmeldrum-based Sureclean, previously NRC UK, was bought over by American-based US Ecology with new owners, Simon Gibb and Mark Kelly, rebranding the firm back to its original name, Sureclean.
The new staff members, who will be based at the 4.9-acre office and support services facility in Oldmeldrum’s Barra Business Park, bring more than 80 years’ combined experience in the specialist industrial cleaning sector with extensive industry knowledge and global project management experience.
Ally Joss and Grant Gilbert join the team as project managers with careers spanning over four decades.
Together they will be responsible for leading specialist cleaning projects in line with company objectives to reduce waste and advance environmental sustainability.
Kenny Murray joins as HSEQ manager bringing an in-depth understanding of continuous improvement to support the company with its continued aim to meet and exceed industry standards in safety and compliance.
With more than 12 years’ experience in the industrial services and waste management sectors, Mr Murray will deliver a full scope of HSEQ management including behavioural safety, training and competency, auditing, risk management, asset management, processes and ESG initiatives.
David Barrie returns to Sureclean as operations manager having been an integral part of the original team.
He brings comprehensive knowledge of Sureclean’s processes and equipment and has a broad range of experience in the industrial services sector with roles onshore, offshore and overseas.
As well as ensuring the delivery of customer service excellence, Mr Barrie is also in charge of bespoke and innovative engineering solutions for clients, while also supporting the next generation of Sureclean’s pump engineers.
