Atlas NextWave is proud to announce our return to the Australia & New Zealand market — not just to re-establish a presence, but to redefine it. Previously operating in the region under Atlas Professionals with a focus on crew management, our business has now transformed. Following the sale of our crew management division, we are re-entering the market as Atlas NextWave, combining Atlas Professionals’ legacy with NextWave Partners’ forward-thinking expertise.

Under the leadership of Renae Hesford, Business Director for Australia & NZ, we are expanding into high-value sectors across onshore and offshore energy, renewables, onshore marine, and specialist technical markets. This new chapter is designed to deliver more strategic, high-impact staffing and consultancy solutions — without returning to traditional crew management models.

Why This Relaunch is Different

This market re-entry is built on strategic focus, deep industry knowledge, and a network that spans the globe. We are positioning Atlas NextWave as a trusted partner for complex staffing challenges, with the agility and insight to help clients succeed in an evolving energy landscape.

Our Phase 1 focus is on renewable energy and executive search, supported by targeted marketing, client outreach, and sector-specific storytelling. Phase 2 will expand our service portfolio further, once full compliance and operational frameworks are in place.

Australia and New Zealand are at the forefront of the global energy transition, with ambitious renewable targets — and Atlas NextWave is here to help make them a reality.

Next Challenge Please.
