The overwhelming majority of our client's projects are located offshore. They are the largest drilling supplier in the area, and need volume numbers of staff to run their facilities. They need fast deployment of specialised talent on a large scale, spanning Suriname, Guyana, and Trinidad & Tobago.

The results of our support
In the last 12 months alone, we have provided 50+ specialist contractors.
Initially, a large part of our remit was to support the drilling side of our client’s business. For this, we supplied a mixture of Guyanese and Trinidadians across 4 different disciplines:
- Drilling
- Maintenance
- Environmental
- Field engineers
For the Petrochemist positions, we leveraged our global reach to onboard more experienced specialists from Brazil, France, The UK, Portugal, Greece and Canada.
The client’s project portfolio is ever-growing and through demonstrable successes our service is being internally referred by one hiring manager to another across many departments, meaning our scope is continuing to grow steadily. We now support all aspects of the client’s business from drilling, machinery and maintenance, to tradesman and waste specialists working with solids controls.
