J+S emerged in 2020 from a management buy-out of the Subsea Engineering Division of Systems Engineering and Assessment Limited, a Cohort Group business.

 

The team at J+S have provided subsea engineering solutions to the Oil & gas and Renewables Energy sectors for over 20 years. Most recently as a stand-alone division within SEA and previously as part of J+S Limited and J+S Marine Limited.

This is an exciting new chapter in J+S history, with plans for a new and larger facility more suited to our current operational needs and with room for expansion. We look forward to continuing to provide and expand on our cost-effective solutions for our clients in the Offshore Energy Industries.
