WRS Marine & Offshore Recruitment
Guyana has become one of the world’s most significant offshore energy developments. Since major oil discoveries began in 2015, this South American nation has established itself as a key player in global energy markets. Behind every successful offshore operation is a critical factor: getting the right people, in the right roles, at the right time.
At Worldwide Recruitment Solutions (WRS), we’ve established ourselves at the centre of Guyana’s offshore growth, delivering comprehensive marine and offshore recruitment services that support the nation’s energy development.
Understanding Guyana’s Offshore Landscape
The Stabroek Block, located approximately 120 miles offshore Guyana, represents one of the largest oil discoveries of the past decade. With multiple floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels already operational and several more planned, the demand for skilled maritime and offshore professionals continues to grow.
This rapid expansion brings real challenges: remote locations, complex regulatory requirements, and the need for highly specialised skills. WRS has built genuine expertise in handling these challenges, connecting experienced talent with operators working in Guyana’s offshore sector.

We handle these practicalities on behalf of our clients, ensuring every crew member arrives fully compliant and ready to work.
