Case Studies

Offshore case studies

Working With Van Oord Personeels B.V

Van Oord Personeels B.V

For nearly 6 years, we’ve successfully worked with Van Oord Personeels B.V – supplying manpower for offshore wind installations, dredging, and cable laying projects. But most recently, we’re proud to have supported work on the advanced offshore installation vessel, the Aeolus, in France.

In 2023, the offshore industry experienced a significant surge in ROV projects, leading to a critical shortage of qualified personnel. TechnipFMC, a leading player in the sector, faced the challenge of filling numerous ROV positions at short notice to maintain operational efficiency. 

Stena Drilling required a reliable recruitment partner to efficiently fill temporary assignments across various roles within their fleet. The challenge was to find suitable candidates with the necessary experience and certifications, often within tight deadlines (24, 48 or 72 hours).
