Industries & project types we serve

From upstream exploration to LNG processing, sourced and screened for the demands of each project type.

Why It's Different

Why oil & gas hiring in the UAE needs a specialised partner

General staffing doesn't hold up in this sector — here's the operating context we work within on every brief.

01

ADNOC & Tier 1/2 contractor compliance

Major Abu Dhabi projects run through ADNOC and its sub-companies, or EPC contractors such as Petrofac, Technip, Wood and Samsung Engineering — each with its own vendor approval, ICV and vetting standards.

02

Certification & safety compliance

NEBOSH IGC for HSE, OPITO BOSIET/FOET for offshore postings, API/ASME credentials for engineers — we verify these before a CV ever reaches you.

03

Onshore vs offshore distinction

Hiring managers filter hard on this. We pre screen for rotation schedules (typically 28/28 or 14/14), logistics and deployment fit before submission.

04

Visa, mobilisation & UAE labor law

Employment visa sponsorship, medical fitness certificates and MOHRE compliance, handled so project timelines don't slip.

05

Volume & urgency

Project awards often mean 10–50 positions inside a tight mobilisation window — we work from a pre screened pipeline, not a standing start.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to fill an oil and gas vacancy in the UAE?+
Timelines depend on role seniority and certification requirements. Standard technical and engineering roles are typically filled within 2–4 weeks. Urgent project mobilisations with multiple hires can move faster when we already have pre screened candidates available.
Do you recruit for both onshore and offshore roles?+
Yes. We recruit across onshore plant and refinery roles as well as offshore platform and drilling positions, screening separately for the distinct certifications, rotation schedules and experience each requires.
Can you source candidates who meet ADNOC or EPC contractor vendor requirements?+
Yes. We understand the vendor approval, ICV and certification standards used by ADNOC and major Tier 1/Tier 2 EPC contractors operating in the UAE, and pre-screen candidates against those standards before submission.
Do you handle visa sponsorship for oil and gas hires?+
We assist with the mobilisation process, including coordinating visa sponsorship requirements and onboarding logistics for candidates relocating to the UAE.
What oil and gas roles are hardest to fill in the UAE right now?+
Specialist and certified roles such as HSE Supervisors with NEBOSH IGC, offshore-certified technicians with valid BOSIET/OPITO training, and senior rotating equipment engineers are consistently the most difficult to source quickly.
Do you provide contract staffing or only permanent placement?+
Both. We support permanent hires, fixed-term contract staffing and project based bulk mobilisation depending on your project phase and workforce planning needs.
