Although BP was reported in the Sunday Telegraph recently as having problems recruiting staff with the right skills for North Sea jobs, the oil giant denied that this was the case. While it may not be true for BP, it is ironic that at a time everyone is thinking of reducing their dependence on oil, fossil fuels remain vital.
As we mentioned last month in Changing Course we have seen a surge of demand from the offshore industry for DP expertise. In Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific we are recruiting DP consultants with both deck and engineering backgrounds as well as electrical engineers, warranty surveyors, safety and risk engineers and rig movers.
There some really interesting high profile projects at the moment. People with strong offshore or DP experience can almost take their pick in the current market, and of course following Deepwater Horizon, safety and risk are at the top of the agenda.
