Women in the Offshore Industry – Atlas Professionals UK Ltd Pay Gap Report 2022

Here at Atlas Professionals, we believe in creating a diverse and balanced workforce. However, this is not (yet) typical in the industries that we work in, and we work to promote women in the industry. 

Our data for Atlas Professionals UK Ltd shows that we have a pay gap of -15% mean (average) and -47% median (middle) gender pay gap. This is below the average median gender pay gap, which ranges between 16% and 31.3%. This is due to the nature of work the offshore industry brings and the number of women working in the industry.

We know that our gender pay gap is not a pay issue, but down to lack of female representation in energy and marine roles. In this set of data, we have 99% of male employees and only 1% female and our female employees sit within all four quartiles.

How will we make a difference?

Atlas Professionals ensures that like-for-like positions are paid equal and appropriate salary levels, regardless of gender. As highlighted above, the issue that is prevalent in the energy and marine sectors is a lack of representation of female candidates in the marketplace. Atlas Professionals has made a firm commitment to support the increase of female candidates to the industry, alongside our valued clients and industry bodies.

It is only through sustained endeavours that this cultural shift can be achieved however, such actions that are undertaken by Atlas are as follows:

• Gender positive / inclusive marketing campaigns
• Involvement in exhibitions and seminars focused on supporting women in the industry e.g., Women Offshore Virtual Conference / Annual Gala
• Increasing awareness through the Atlas Professionals HEROES publication of female offshore professionals, and a typical day in the life in their role
