Construction

Total Energies

WRS has successfully worked with Total SA since 2012, supplying manpower provision for global energies engineering, exploration, development, operations, and maintenance personnel. This agreement has enabled us to expand our business on a global scale, whilst developing our relationship with multiple EPC clients alongside their projects.

Repsol GFA

We’ve held a global framework agreement (GFA) with Repsol SA since 2016. The GFA covers all Repsol locations and operations worldwide, with exceptional results so far. Projects are bid out on a single or dual source basis and bid on with technical and commercial proposals for international contractor workforces.

Going Above And Beyond In Global Mobilisation

Mobilising candidates always comes with challenges – but at WRS, we never let that stop us. We work to resolve issues, ensuring minimal struggle with the move.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here are some real-world scenarios where WRS were able to step in and smooth things out.

Global Mobilisation In Action

Demand for talent is soaring around the globe – the need for specialised skills and expertise knows no bounds.

WRS is enabling the successful execution of energy projects in over 90 international locations, taking care of the whole process with extensive end-to-end services and removing hassle for both candidates and clients.

Enhancing Global Operations with WRS and WQS

Gary Brooks, Senior Project Manager

Gary Brooks, a seasoned Senior Project Manager, embarked on a demanding contract in Uganda. As a contractor operating in a remote and challenging environment, he faced a range of complexities...

BP

Together with BP, Algeria and Norway’s national oil corporations, Sonatrach and Equinor respectively, are involved in the development and production of two of the largest gas fields in the country – in Salah and Amenas. We’ve had a joint venture with BP and Equinor for 12 years, supplying resourcing, contracting, and payroll solutions to the Sonatrach gas operation.

Strategic Expansion - Sourcing a Market-Driven Leadership Solution

To facilitate our client's expansion into a new region, we were retained to deliver in country market intelligence into the recruitment process to secure a highly skilled Country Manager.

How WRS Helped A Process Safety Engineer Land A Dream Role In Renewables

H2 Green Steel

We’re proud to announce that Hina Arshad has found her dream role as a Process Safety Engineer at H2 Green Steel – all with the support of WRS.

Driving Project Success – Securing Key Talent

H2 Green Steel

Tasked with sourcing a Senior Project Manager for a leading onshore wind developer, our objective was to retain talent to advance a crucial wind project.

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.

Working With TechnipFMC

TechnipFMC

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. 

Working With Stena Drilling

Stena Drilling

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).

Transitioning from Contingent to Retained Services

WRS

Our client, a prominent player in the construction sector, has been collaborating with us for approximately one year under contingent terms of business. During this time, we have established a strong working relationship and demonstrated our commitment to understanding their unique needs.

WRS

Leveraging our extensive network and industry expertise, we swiftly identified and presented a highly qualified candidate who was promptly hired by the client. Our rapid response and effective recruitment process not only met but exceeded the client's expectations.
