Mr Hobbs and Mr Lewis will both be based in Aberdeen.
In his role, one of Mr Hobbs’ main focuses will be delivering growth for px Group in the upstream oil and gas sector and using his knowledge of managing mature North Sea assets to scale up activity in that area.
Mr Lewis will lead the business development team and will have responsibility for driving organic growth across the entire business in the UK and internationally, as well as exploring potential acquisitions.
Geoff Holmes, px Group chief executive officer, said: “We are an ambitious business and I believe that is reflected by the appointments of both Garry and Mark – two respected industry names.
“px Group is known in the energy industry for its personal, dedicated approach – we treat our clients as colleagues. Garry and Mark have shown that same approach throughout their careers and that is one of the key reasons we have brought them on board.”
Mr Hobbs, who was most recently VP for North Sea Region operations and projects at Apache North Sea said: “I’m joining px Group at a really exciting time as it continues growing in the upstream.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with the existing Senior Leadership Team and using my experience to refine and build out our upstream offering.”
Mr Lewis joins px Group after nine years at Amec Foster Wheeler and Worley.
He said: “I am particularly looking forward to helping px Group – and the wider industry – progress to net zero carbon emissions.
“This is an area in which we want to be industry leading – px Group is already part of the Humberside net-zero cluster and we are exploring more ‘green’ avenues.”
