A leading industrial software company specialising in subsea inspection and asset integrity management has doubled the size of its Aberdeen headquarters and announced plans to create new jobs.
Elementz – which reported turnover of £3 million in its first full year of trading – has expanded its Bridge of Don office to create more space for its growing team and partners. The company currently employs 29 people and plans to further strengthen its commercial, technical and software engineering teams with up to four additional specialists before the end of this year.
The larger office is designed not only to accommodate internal growth, but also to support co-working with start-ups on Tide Breaker, the company’s subsea AI accelerator programme. Tide Breaker nurtures young companies seeking to develop and test new methods by giving them access to datasets that help refine their solutions in line with subsea operators’ needs.
Tide Breaker is backed by Compass, Elementz’s strategic advisory board, which brings together leading global subsea operators and asset owners. Through Tide Breaker, Compass members define technical challenges, mentor participants and evaluate outcomes for field deployment, creating a direct route from innovation to operations. The Data Lab, Scotland’s innovation centre for data and AI, is supporting Tide Breaker by advising on programme design, participant selection and ensuring robust, well-governed delivery.
The expanded office also supports delivery of Linear, Elementz’s new pipeline integrity product, which is being co-created directly with Compass members and is currently in active development.
Commenting on the office expansion and anticipated job creation, CEO Jason Brown said: “Investing across the business puts us in the best possible shape to scale and deliver for our customers while continuing to expand beyond oil and gas. We are committed to growth that’s deliberate and sustainable; we’re focused on bringing in the right people, not just more people.”
He added that the physical expansion would help deepen collaboration with partners: “A larger working environment will also improve our ability to engage with ecosystem partners and Tide Breaker participants, bringing their energy and collaboration directly into our space and we look forward to it creating a springboard towards further growth for all concerned.”
Gordon Pirie, Fund Manager at Aberdeen Energy & Innovation Parks, said the growth marked a milestone for both Elementz and the wider park community. “Elementz have been a valued part of the Enterprise Centre for the past two years and it’s been a pleasure to watch their growth. They are a dynamic, forward-thinking business and we’re proud to support their continued success at the Energy Park. Their expansion to more than double their space is a great milestone for both them and the wider park community.”
