Going Above And Beyond In Global Mobilisation - Case Study
WRS is enabling the successful execution of various energy projects in more than 90 countries, with end-to-end global mobilisation solutions within an industry facing a talent shortage.We provide support at every stage of the mobilisation cycle, onboarding personnel following client instruction. Singapore | UAE | East Africa One client recently constructed and mobilised a floating production storage offload (FPSO) from Singapore’s shipyards to their large offshore oil-producing field in Israel. WRS fully supported the operator, EPC, and shipyard owner throughout this process, utilising various global teams. WRS Singapore provided the employment, immigration, and contracted payroll services locally, while WRS HQ delivered the end-to-end recruitment services, and then took over the employment contracting once the vessel had departed Singapore. Throughout the process, the WRS Contractor Care team enabled a smooth transition for our personnel in the global mobility phases.– Recently, the WRS team was provided with a two-week limit to mobilise two contractors to the United Arab Emirates for a short-term commissioning project in Dubai’s shipyard. Typically, this process can take over two months, but the WRS team was able to support our client to deliver fully approved local work permits within the time frame – something the client had never seen before. WRS has now been retained by them as a preferred supplier for global mobility services. – Through our local joint venture partner, Q-Sourcing, we have formed a market-leading business delivering first-class services. We’re providing our full suite of recruitment, contracting, payroll and HR Consultancy services to all clients in Uganda and Tanzania. The major challenges are immigration, work permits, travel logistics, and accommodation support in remote locations. Having excelled in delivering all these services, this resulted in us being commended for our swift and smooth support services. We’ll now be entering new countries in Africa to further develop major projects in the oil and gas and renewable energies spaces.
