J+S have a range of stock downlines available that can be terminated with client specific connections for offshore use. Our trained technicians will prepare and deliver these downlines on fully certified Reeler units and provide support offshore for deployment and testing.
We also have a range of ancillary equipment to go with our downlines including but not limited to:
J+S have a range of electrical connectors and hydraulic couplers available to rent for on and offshore purposes. Our trained technicians can prepare and certify equipment for use as test connectors, interface components for FAT’s, long term protective caps and end caps with wired loop properties.
J+S have a range of test equipment available to rent for on and offshore purposes. All our test equipment comes with valid calibration certificates and our trained technicians are available to provide operating and analysis support. We have identified and work with selected vendors and partners to provide additional specialist test equipment if required.
Our test equipment capabilities include but are not limited to:
J+S is developing a range of monitoring equipment to provide our clients with solutions to identify subsea issues. This range of basic tools are designed to assist intervention operations by providing immediate and local display of sensor outputs or basic system parameters. This range is adaptable to allow connection to any system and standard port interfaces enable the option of penetrators to cable or oil filled hose assemblies either side for ease of installation. This range can also be expanded to meet any new requirements identified.
The Display 420 is a basic display which provides local indication of a 4-20mA signal. Designed for installation and retrieval by diver, the display is loop powered so there is no need to provide a separate power supply or battery.
Display Specification
The Simulator 420 utilises the same simple 0-100% display but with the addition of a loop powered 4-20mA simulator and rotary switch. This is designed to be connected between the Subsea Control Module (SCM) and the sensor. It is then used to either display the output signal from the sensor output or inject a set range of simulation signals to test the SCM’s operation.

Phil has worked in the oil and gas industry for over 25 years. He started his career with Kvaerner FSSL progressing through a variety of roles in subsea engineering, from manufacturing to leading some of their most complex projects all over the world. He worked with the original J+S for a period before moving on to Genesis Oil and Gas as a Subsea Controls Engineering consultant; during that period, he was seconded to Centrica Energy (now Spirit Energy) which led to a permanent role as Lead Subsea Controls & Umbilical Engineer for Developments, Capital Projects and Operated Assets. For almost a decade Phil successfully delivered Capital Projects from concept right through to project close out whilst also looking after the running of their subsea assets.
As part of J&S Subsea limited, Phil will oversee the day-to-day operations and grow the business both in the UK and globally.
James’s career started when he joined the Royal Navy from school as an Artificer Apprentice. After a 5-year Marine Engineering Apprenticeship he served in surface ships HMS Glamorgan, HMS Edinburgh, and HMS Glasgow and at Rosyth as part of an engineering support team.
Moving into the Oil & Gas Industry in 1992, over the next 26 years he gained a wealth of experience within large and small companies on operation, design and project management of subsea control systems and equipment. This period started with several years as a Project Engineer for a family run hydraulic services company Grampian Hydraulics followed by 5 years as a Support Engineer at Kvaerner Oilfield Products. James joined RRC Controls Services ltd in 2001 before finally moving to J+S Ltd in 2010. At J+S his dedication and technical capabilities were rewarded with several promotions until becoming a member of the management buyout team.
He has designed an extensive array of subsea equipment from basic cable penetrators to complete subsea control modules.
James thrives on providing solutions for client’s problems.
As Engineering Director, James will ensure that the company provides clients with timely, cost effective and technically sound solutions and services.
