97 Aberdeen Jobs At Risk At Hydrasun
Oil firm Hydrasun have confirmed that 97 jobs from their Aberdeen base are at risk.
The company, based at Gateway Business Park, say consultation talks with all 338 staff members in Aberdeen, have begun.
The final number of redundancies will be confirmed in October.
A statement from the company says: “As is the case with many other companies, Hydrasun is currently experiencing significant challenges in the face of the severe downturn in the Oil and Gas Industry.
"Unfortunately, the consequential effect of this is that the business cannot sustain its current cost base and we are therefore currently considering a number of possible options with regards to achieving substantial cost reductions.
"Whilst the detail of these options has yet to be finalised, the situation is that up to 97 positions within our Aberdeen HQ Operations are being considered for possible redundancy, along with a potential pay cut of up to 12%. We have commenced the consultation process with our staff and expect to have this completed and the final details confirmed by the end of October.
"We are acutely aware that this is a very difficult and unsettling time for all of our staff and have assured them that we will endeavour to complete the process as quickly as possible.”
