Acergy is a seabed-to-surface engineering and construction contractor for the offshore oil and gas industry. We plan, design and deliver complex, integrated projects in harsh and challenging environments throughout the world. We are quoted on both the NASDAQ and Oslo exchanges and in the year ended 30 November 2006 the group turnover was USD 2,124.2million with profit before income taxes from continuing operations of USD 294.5 million.
Recently the Tax department was combined with Treasury under a new functional head of Tax and Treasury. The Tax department currently comprises 13 people of whom 3 are based in London and 5 are regional tax managers located respectively in Stavanger, Paris, Singapore, Houston and Rio de Janeiro.
The London based team is in charge of special purpose vehicles and holding companies within the group. It is also for maintaining a tax efficient structure, transfer pricing, treasury financing issues and also supports the regional tax managers in assessing the tax impacts of various contracts. The management of the fleet of vessels is largely concentrated in the UK and the London team provides the support to the operational management in respect of these major assets. Group reporting is also a major focus of the team as it is in charge of the efficient tax management and reporting of the Corporate Companies as well as the review and consolidation of the regional operations.
The rapid growth of the group has created a need for additional resource in the Tax Department and it is envisaged that there may be an additional 2 full time roles in London to support and assist the existing team.
The Role
The role will consist in the first instance of assisting with group tax reporting and UK tax compliance.
There will also be involvement in some of the projects currently being undertaken by the tax department including transfer pricing reviews and documentation, and group structuring and financing
