From critical specialists to full rig crews, Atlas NextWave delivers safety-led, compliant workforce solutions for complex Oil & Gas projects worldwide. Wherever operations take you, we are ready to move with you.
Oil & Gas operations are safety-critical and constantly moving. Rigs relocate between countries and continents, regulations change, schedules tighten and urgent workforce requirements can emerge at any hour. In this environment, an unfilled role, expired certificate or incorrect employment structure can affect far more than one assignment. Workforce decisions are operational decisions.
Atlas NextWave becomes involved before mobilisation begins. We help clients consider workforce availability, crew composition, local content, employment, immigration, compliance, training and realistic delivery timelines. The result is a workforce model built around the operation, with risks identified and controls established before people arrive onsite.
We bring together the people, protection and operational support required to keep critical energy operations moving.
Every phase brings different technical disciplines, operating environments and workforce risks. Our Energy specialists provide the expertise and workforce support required across onshore, offshore and subsea operations. Across every phase, we help clients bring together the competence, compliance and workforce continuity required to operate safely.
Exploration, subsurface and wells
Geoscience, seismic, survey, subsurface and well-planning expertise to evaluate resources, understand site conditions and prepare safe, commercially viable programmes.
Drilling and rig operations
Workforce support spanning rig leadership, drilling, technical, maintenance, marine, HSE, catering and operational functions, from individual specialists to complete rig crews.
Projects, construction and commissioning
Engineering, project management, project controls, construction, subsea, ROV and commissioning expertise for new developments, infrastructure, modifications and major projects.
Production and FPSO operations
Operational, marine, technical and maintenance professionals supporting safe and reliable production across platforms, FPSOs and associated infrastructure.
Maintenance, asset integrity and shutdowns
Specialist maintenance, inspection, asset integrity, ROV intervention and project personnel for upgrades, turnarounds and shutdown programmes where preparation and schedule control are critical.
Late-life operations and decommissioning
Expertise supporting mature assets, well abandonment, subsea disconnection, survey, removal, remediation and the responsible conclusion of an asset’s operational life.
The right workforce solution depends on the scale, location and operational demands of the project. We combine specialist recruitment with employment, compliance, mobilisation and ongoing support to build teams that are ready to perform.
Critical specialists
Experienced drilling, engineering, maintenance, production, HSE and operational professionals for roles where specialist competence and availability are essential.
Multidisciplinary project teams
Coordinated teams built around defined project scopes, shutdowns, modifications, commissioning programmes, rig moves and other critical operational requirements.
Full rig crewing
Complete crews across drilling, technical, maintenance, marine, safety, catering and operational support, with recruitment, documentation, employment, travel and rotations managed through one connecte
Managed workforce programmes
Integrated recruitment, employment, compliance, payroll, immigration, mobilisation, workforce support and reporting for major or long-term campaigns.
Our clients operate across established energy hubs, remote offshore locations and rapidly developing markets. When a rig relocates or a project enters a new region, we help determine which expertise can travel, what should be recruited locally and which employment, immigration, compliance and support structures are required. Where necessary, we can expand a local team, establish an office or compliant entity, and build the partnerships needed around the project. International standards provide consistency, while local knowledge keeps delivery grounded in the realities of each location.
Workforce readiness is about more than finding someone with the right experience. Every professional must be technically competent, medically fit, correctly documented and properly prepared for the asset, client and country in which they will work. Safety and compliance do not sit around the workforce solution. They run through it.
Competence before mobilisation
We verify relevant experience, qualifications, certifications, references, medical fitness and right-to-work requirements before travel.
Prepared for the client environment
Workers complete the required inductions, training and project-specific preparation before entering the operation.
Compliant across borders
We bring together employment, tax, insurance, immigration and local labour requirements through an appropriate delivery model.
Controlled throughout the assignment
We maintain clear workforce records, monitor critical documentation and remain available when medical, travel or operational issues arise.
Emerging energy markets may have the ambition and potential to support major offshore operations, but not yet the established workforce pipeline required to do so safely and sustainably. Greenhands Offshore is our proven approach to identifying, assessing and preparing new offshore professionals. Each programme is built around the client’s future workforce demand, operational standards, local-content ambitions and available talent market. Candidates with the right mindset, technical foundation and transferable skills receive targeted training and preparation before progressing into supervised offshore employment.
From complete rig crews and emerging-market mobilisations to specialist project teams and long-term workforce programmes, explore how we have helped Energy clients manage risk, protect workforce continuity and keep critical operations moving.
Behind every workforce solution is a specialist who understands the market, region and operational reality. Our Energy teams combine local insight with global delivery capability to help clients plan, mobilise and support workforces wherever their operations take them.
