International energy consultancy Xodus Group has launched an AUD 3 million (£2 million) operation in Perth, Australia as it sees big opportunities for its integrated services in major greenfield projects.

Andy Jones has returned to the company to head up the new office as operations director and is currently recruiting a team of skilled engineers with four people in place and plans to have 20 over the next 12 months.

Mr Jones joins Xodus from Genesis in Perth where he was team leader for dynamic process simulation. He previously worked at Xodus Group’s Scotland headquarters from 2006 – 2010. Xodus employs more than 400 people wordwide, delivering services covering total field development, integrated asset support, projects and management consultancy.
