According to a report from BBC, the company’s employees have been told that 650 workers may be affected by this move, with around 100 affected in Aberdeen and London.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Aker Solutions today informed employees of the need to reduce the company’s workforce capacity. About 650 positions, mainly in Norway, the UK and India, may be affected.
