EnerMech strengthens leadership team

EnerMech has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of Behzad Kazerani as chief business development officer.

Kazerani will be responsible for the company’s global business development function, overseeing an expanded business development (BD) team, which will spearhead an ambitious growth strategy over the next five years.

EnerMech, a specialist in integrated mechanical and electrical services, has recently made a number of senior BD and sales director appointments as chief executive officer Christian Brown focuses on transforming the business and exploiting growth in new markets.

EnerMech specialises in providing integrated supply, operations, maintenance and engineering solutions in its core services of cranes and lifting, electrical and instrumentation, equipment rental, hydraulic products and services, industrial services, process, pipeline and umbilicals (PPU), maintenance and integrity services, training and valve supply and services.

Headquartered in Aberdeen, UK, EnerMech has global operations in 22 countries in Europe, Americas, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Caspian and Australasia, servicing the international energy and infrastructure sectors.

EnerMech CEO Christian Brown said, “The addition of Behzad to our team will enable EnerMech to strategically drive sales and development more consistently across all of our service lines and end markets.

“Our vision, which is shared and supported by our owners The Carlyle Group, is to become the specialist service provider of choice to the global energy and infrastructure sectors. We will deliver this by growing our existing position in our core offshore oil and gas, petrochemical and LNG sectors, while pushing aggressively into the industrial services, renewables and infrastructure spaces.”

Behzad Kazerani has more than 25 years of experience in the global oil and gas industry, including upstream, downstream, midstream, and LNG. His expertise covers engineering and design, business development, opportunity pursuit, partnership agreements, commercial models, and contract negotiation. He has held senior positions at KBR, Petrofac, IHI and most recently at Houston-based Halff TriTex.

Behzad added: “I am delighted to be joining EnerMech at an exciting time in the company’s evolution and I look forward to being part of an executive team which will realise the company’s full potential in existing and new markets.”
