Sparrows Group, the engineering and maintenance services specialist for the international energy and industrial sectors, today announces global expansion with its move to six new, purpose-built facilities in Abu Dhabi, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Australia and the USA. The growth has been driven by increased demand for its services in these countries, such as the maintenance of critical machinery in the energy and industrial sectors, and is set to create 200 jobs.
The new USA facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana, has been opened to provide local support to industrial and marine customers in the region, in addition to facilities in Houma and Slidell. Providing cylinder tear down, inspection and repair, hydraulic testing, and maintenance and repair of mechanical, hydraulic, and rotating components, Sparrows expects to increase headcount there by 70% before the end of the year with the addition of more technical staff.
Notably, burgeoning demand for its services in minerals extraction and wider industrials has seen Sparrows’ headcount in Australia increase over 200% in the past nine months alone. As such, the company has moved into a new, 2,100m2 complex and workshop in Perth, to accommodate a further 40 jobs in the next quarter. In Kazakhstan, the organisation has demonstrated its commitment to the region by establishing its first 1,330m2 facility for equipment repair and maintenance, including a training centre and workshop.
