Testimonials

"I have been a mooring engineer at SOFEC for over two years now. In March of 2018, I was offshore Malaysia as the mooring engineer for the Petronas FLNG 1 relocation project. The Houston team worked 24 hours a day to provide instant feedback and QA support and to ensure the job was completed efficiently, safely, and successfully. I am forever thankful for my team’s support during my offshore ventures as an engineering representative."

"Coming to SOFEC has been a breath of fresh air.  My previous employer was so bogged down in bureaucratic red tape that it was almost impossible to take ownership of anything.  SOFEC is a place where experts can still come in a make a difference."
