McDermott brings home win at Malaysia International Business Awards 2025 for EPCI delivery

This achievement has been driven by the company’s commitment to operational excellence.

Service provider company McDermott took home the Excellence Award in the Engineering category at the prestigious Malaysia International Business Awards 2025 for its growth and expansion as a leader in offshore engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) in Malaysia.

McDermott’s accomplishments in the past year include transforming its Kuala Lumpur office into a global engineering centre of excellence and home to its Subsea and Floating Facilities (SAF) business line. At the same time, the company has grown from a modest team of 30 to over 1,000 professionals, now making it one of the largest multinational engineering companies in the country.

Its SAF leadership has also led the company’s evolution and transformation into a globally integrated vertical, aligning regional teams under a unified strategy that strengthens operational performance and market positioning.

McDermott’s expansion has been driven by a commitment to operational excellence, with investments in innovative engineering, advanced project execution methodologies, and integrated workflows that optimise efficiency across all EPCI disciplines.

With its Kuala Lumpur hub becoming a key player in global EPCI delivery, the company’s SAF business line has also fostered a culture that encourages knowledge sharing across regions, ensuring that it leverages its full global expertise for every project.

The expansion in Malaysia has had a profound impact on the country’s engineering landscape. As one of the largest multinational engineering companies in the country, McDermott’s Kuala Lumpur office has generated extensive employment opportunities and developed a highly skilled engineering workforce.

Delivering to customer’s needs, the Malaysia team prioritises optimising EPCI execution methodologies, to deliver the energy infrastructure needed to support energy security across the global south and beyond.
