Oil and Gas
Upstream, midstream and downstream, refining and petrochemicals, LNG, energy trading and retail fuels, with EPC and project management for hydrocarbon programmes.
Oil and gas companies are recruiting for two futures at once: the hydrocarbon business that still funds the balance sheet, and the lower carbon businesses that will define the next one. Leaders who can run both, and bridge their cultures, are rare.
Contractors and consultancies serving the industry face the same question from the project side: leaders who have taken refinery, LNG and offshore programmes from front end design to start up, with an incident free record. We pay close attention to safety leadership, joint venture governance and work with national operators, where these appointments are decided.
