Pradeep Raghunath

Pradeep Raghunath is an Operations Engineer on the Operations Readiness &Assurance team based in Altera Infrastructure’s Aberdeen office.  

Since I joined Altera at the end of 2024, the whole team have been really welcoming, and it hasn’t taken long for me to feel like I belong. The team is supportive, everyone is encouraged to speak up, and different perspectives are welcomed and taken onboard.  

My role is to work with the Operational Readiness & Assurance (OR&A) team to ensure we are ready for the operational phase of the Rosebank project. Once the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO is operational, I will work with the team to ensure safe and efficient delivery of production. As a chemical engineer, I find this work very rewarding from a technical perspective.  

 The asset is highly advanced and ultra-modern FPSO, with a heavy emphasis on digitalisation to enable efficient production of  oil & gas, thus also limiting environmental impact per unit of oil & gas produced. It’s going to be really rewarding to see the project reach its major milestones and eventually start delivering energy. It is an exciting time to work at Altera, and I think that anyone joining at any point in their career will find there is lots to learn, and they will do this while having great fun.
