All of the new project will be carried out at JDR’s Greenland Road site in Hartlepool.
The latest win comes just a month after the Mail told how JDR had a five-year strategy, which included expanding its capacity in Hartlepool.
JDR has taken up the option of a third building at its site on Hartlepool’s dockland.
Chief executive David Currie said: “This is a very exciting win for JDR and we are proud to partner with Marathon Oil on this prestigious contract.”
