Refining
Gekko has been working in refineries since the first day we opened our doors. Gekko personnel have worked in refineries filling roles such as Project Engineer, Project Manager, Operations Manager, Engineering Manager, and Technical Services Director. As such, we are familiar with the internal workings and project execution strategies employed by our customers. We understand the ever present need to perform quickly yet safely. We are familiar with the stages of project execution, the various refinery units and processes, and the overall business model associated with running a refinery. We strive to keep this in mind as we serve our customers.
