Marine and offshore operations require highly specialized personnel capable of working in technically demanding, safety-critical and often remote environments. Offshore drilling contractors, shipyards, marine engineering companies, offshore support companies, oil & gas operators and EPC contractors need professionals with the right combination of technical competence, offshore experience, safety awareness and industry certifications.
HBS Consultancy provides specialized Marine & Offshore Drilling Recruitment Services, helping international employers source suitable professionals and skilled technical manpower from India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
We support appropriate recruitment requirements across:
Offshore Drilling | Marine Engineering | Offshore Oil & Gas | Shipbuilding | Ship Repair | Offshore Construction | FPSO Operations | Offshore Maintenance | Marine Logistics | Offshore Support Vessels
Our recruitment approach can include:
Requirement Analysis → Candidate Sourcing → CV Screening → Certification Verification → Technical Assessment → Trade Testing → Employer Interviews → Selection → Documentation & Mobilization Support
