Intecsea & WorleyParsons - Expanding Operations In Atlantic Canada

In early 2010, WorleyParsons Canada opened its first East Coast office in St. John’s, Newfoundland, to better serve the growing demand for resource development in Atlantic Canada. In the same year, INTECSEA, a division of WorleyParsons and a specialty subsea engineering service provider, began its operations in Atlantic Canada—jointly growing their hydrocarbon capabilities. In four years, WorleyParsons and INTECSEA have grown their Atlantic Canada operations to more than 220 personnel, operating out of three offices in the heart of St. John’s.

WorleyParsons, an Australian-based international engineering and project delivery firm, arrived in Canada in 2003 and has grown through organic expansion and acquisition of companies such as Komex, HGE, MacDonald Engineering Group, Colt, and Westmar, and through joint venture agreements with companies, such as Cergetec in Quebec. Today, WorleyParsons is one of the largest engineering and project delivery firms in Canada. Its success in this dynamic and fast-growing region has resulted in a reputable presence across Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as several Atlantic Provinces, including Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
