3sun Group has appointed James Smith as general manager for its subsea division, RRC Controls Services.
Smith joins 3sun Group after a 16 year career with Aker Subsea Limited, where he progressed from a service team workshop manager to global infrastructure and equipment manager. Spending time in Malaysia, Brazil and Norway, he was responsible for several expansion projects.
In the newly-created position, Smith will play a part in the growth strategy of RRC, which has recently undergone expansion following a significant investment, the company said.
Based in Gourdon, Aberdeenshire, the RRC Controls Services division was acquired in 2013 and enhances 3sun Group’s service offering to the subsea market.
