Specialist practice
Energy, Oil & Gas Recruitment
Energy projects in the region are big, long and closely watched. We recruit engineers, project controls, procurement and contracts people for operators, EPC contractors and suppliers in oil and gas, power and renewables.
We'll ask where the project is in its life, from FEED and tender through construction and commissioning to operations, and which client and contract you're working under. Operators, EPC contractors and suppliers need different people, and someone who thrived on a solar EPC job won't always settle on a brownfield gas plant. We keep that in mind from the first call.

How we can help
Permanent recruitment
You're hiring for the long term. We find, vet and introduce people, and you employ them directly.
Executive search
For director and head-of roles we run a confidential search and approach people who aren't on the market.
Contract hiring
You need someone for a fixed period, to cover a gap or see a programme through. We find and introduce them, and you employ them on a fixed-term contract.
Project-based hiring
A new contract or tender means several hires at once. We plan the roles and timing with you and fill them together. Everyone we introduce joins your payroll, not ours.
You employ the people we introduce. Whether the role is permanent, fixed-term or part of a project, the person joins your company and your payroll. We don't employ, sponsor or second staff ourselves.
For energy, oil and gas professionals
If you work in energy, oil and gas and you're thinking about your next move in the Gulf, send us your CV. We'll tell you honestly about the roles we're working on and where you'd fit, and we'll only put you forward with your agreement. We never charge candidates a fee.
