Recruitment Solutions and Engineering Jobs in The Caribbean

Our consultants are discipline-specific, meaning they are truly experts in their markets and keep up to date with emerging trends. Our core workforce solutions include contract staffing and permanent (direct) hire. Our recruitment teams work in tandem with experienced support teams that encompass assignment support professionals, award-winning compliance, legal and finance teams, and travel co-ordinators. Collaboratively, this enables us to provide a full recruitment service offering for contractors that takes care of all administrational needs, including their accommodation and travel logistics and payroll.

Our long regional tenure means that we have a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to be compliant with the Ministry of National Security and the Ministry of Labour. Our Assignment Support teams will organise all required work permits and visas, ensuring that workers arrive on your project site, fully prepared, and compliant with all local legislation.

Through over a decade of operation we have curated local talent pools, and are committed to the growth of the local community, its people and its businesses. We are a truly localised recruitment partner - over 95% of our business is based on engaging local personnel in local work opportunities. We use local banks, local lawyers, and wherever feasible localise our service.

Our established Caribbean presence enables us to offer second-tier support for companies in Guyana. Without a legally registered entity, businesses cannot apply for a work permit in-country. By being fully registered in-country, we pay local taxes and can facilitate non-Guyanese entities for project work.

Whilst we have a wealth of experience in hiring nationals from across the Caribbean, we can leverage our wider North American and global office network to source talent from overseas when required. In comparison to the rest of the globe, the oil and gas industry in the Caribbean region remains in a developmental stage. This, coupled with small local populations, has resulted in a limited local engineering talent pool. We’re dedicated to upskilling Caribbean nationals through leveraging our access to international personnel with decades of industry experience under their belt. We’ve engaged local personnel specifically to shadow expatriates on drilling, construction and maintenance projects so that they benefit from hands-on training and can upskill their ability.

In Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), companies often face challenges finding specialised engineering talent locally. At NES Fircroft, we prioritise hiring local talent while offering the flexibility to recruit expatriates for permanent and contract positions. We understand that businesses need to diversify their talent pools by considering foreign professionals, especially in a competitive job market. By leveraging our extensive network both in the US and globally, we can connect you with qualified candidates from our international resources when the local workforce does not meet your specific skill set requirements.

Through our local expertise, we not only source the overseas talent your business needs in T&T but also manage the visa application process and secure work permits to ensure compliance when bringing that talent into the country. As a fully registered entity in T&T and a CARICOM member, we have cultivated strong relationships with relevant authorities. Our in-depth understanding of the compliance requirements set forth by Trinidad and Tobago's Diplomatic and Consular Missions, as well as the Immigration Division of the Ministry of National Security, enables us to offer fast-track visa solutions.

We assist contractors throughout the entire process, helping them in their home countries by organising appointment bookings at the nearest T&T Consular Posts and providing assignment support upon arrival. We ensure that all documentation requirements—such as passports, travel arrangements, accommodation, and medical insurance—are thoroughly addressed so that workers are compliant and fully prepared for deployment at the project site.

Our contractor support services are second to none. We do so much more than just find you a job and endeavour to support new contract hires through every stage of their onboarding. Our dedicated assignment support teams are on-hand to facilitate all necessary paperwork including visas and work permits (where required), local insurances and medical cover, and your transport needs. If you relocate for a job opportunity with us, you will be provided with a dedicated local consultant who knows the area and will organise a meet & greet upon your arrival, including delivering orientation services for you to help you assimilate with your new working environment.
