🔦 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT | Ventia 🌟 Ventia is tackling gender diversity, encouraging the oil and gas industry to increase uptake in female employment in field-based jobs. Ventia has recently started hosting information and assessment centres, specifically for female candidates to come and hear about what a job in the industry might be like. At the assessment centres, Ventia is able to give confidence to women looking for a career change or to break into a more hands-on role. Business Development Manager, Dimity Agland says it’s all about giving applicants confidence. “Women are already doing it, we have females out on site, it’s about showing that women are more than capable to get the job done, and changing the way we talk about what a career in the industry looks like.” The oil and gas industry is becoming safer than ever with more automations to alleviate manual workload and more career opportunities in the safety industry. On a mission to increase female participation in a sustainable way, Ventia said they have seen more of a shift recently in interest from female candidates in field positions. Skout Solutions, Recruitment Manager, Katherine Hutson says, “It's about finding women who have a passion and drive to succeed and helping to connect them with their career aspirations.” Ventia said a large factor is providing a supportive environment to ask questions, and helping candidates to hear other success stories of women who have tread the path before saying “If you can see it, you can be it.” Fantastic to see a business in our region making a commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in one of our biggest employing industries. 🛎 Hear more from Conference Partner, Ventia at the 2024 Energy Summit, tickets here https://lnkd.in/gstFZqSY #linkingbusinesswithopportunity

I often look for new opportunities to connect skilled UK workers in the electrical fields with jobs either here or Australia. An area of interest is heavy vehicle auto electricians/ technicians for work in the Australian mining industry. There’s a lot of good work and pay down there. Big mining companies are opting to go for battery electric dump trucks and lorries. There are 1.1 million battery power cars in the UK. I was surprised to learn that ONLY 300 of the UK’s 500,000 lorry fleet are electric. I hadn't given this much though before, as I somehow manage to see some of these 300 lorries as well as electric buses on my travels inside London. Looking into this more I see that there is only one public charging point for HGVs for the entire country. 😶 I know that the road haulage industry is calling on the government to tackle infrastructure investment for electric HGVs, but the industry is starting miles behind where it should be. Although a relatively small field, there will be many skilled UK/ROI based people working as HV/ BEV technicians, HGV auto electricians who may be interested in a change of life Down Under (short-term or long-term), as well as a potential bump in pay. We are working with companies in the mining sector in Australia. I'd be happy to hear from you if a move is something you've given some thought. #bev #ev #highvoltage #autotechnician

🚰 Supporting Local Councils: $60 Million Pipeline Brings Long-Term Water Security to Townsville 🌊 Townsville’s newly opened $60 million pipeline is a prime example of how local councils are delivering critical infrastructure for the future. Spanning almost 10 kilometres from Ross River Dam to the Douglas Water Treatment Plant, this project ensures 85% of Townsville’s water supply is secured for decades to come. Jointly funded by the State Government, it highlights the role of councils in providing essential services and infrastructure that communities rely on. At Public Sector People, we’re proud to support Queensland councils in delivering vital projects. From recruiting skilled professionals to providing tailored workforce solutions, we help local councils meet the needs of their communities. The success of this project shows what can be achieved when local government and key stakeholders work together for long-term regional benefits. #LocalCouncils #Queensland #WaterSecurity #Infrastructure #PublicSector #CommunityDevelopment #Sustainability #Townsville

Squadron Energy have an EOI for contractors… The project is expected to create more than 330 jobs and inject $46.9 million into the regional economy during construction. The realisation of regional projects and the difficulty to source and deliver dozens of projects that will unfold over the next 12-24 months, no doubt all at the same time, remains to be be seen.

What are are your thoughts on this? Recently I have seen a few job adverts for "Assistant Technical Superintendents" where companies are looking for 3rd or 2nd Engineers to make the move ashore. The role is a stepping stone to gain experience to move to a Technical Superintendent position and career progression. But is it really career progression? For around a decade I have supported companies in their recruitment of Technical Superintendents. I would say 95% of the time a company will stipulate a candidate must have sailed to Chief Engineer. I've had candidates who have sailed to 2nd Engineer but have 5-10 years of Technical Superintendent experience completely overlooked just because they didn't sail to Chief Engineer. So, is a move to Assistant Technical Superintendent a good move or a bit of a short-term gain that could lead to longer term career struggles? Has anyone made a similar move who can give their own personal experiences?

Are you weighing the pros and cons of contract engineers versus permanent staff? 🤔 Here's a breakdown for you. Contract engineers offer a temporary solution tailored to specific projects. Their experience and expertise mean they can hit the ground running, making them ideal for short-term needs or when you require a specialised skill set that doesn't exist within your organisation. On the other hand, permanent staff are the pillars of your company's culture and long-term success. They provide stability, help maintain institutional knowledge, and can be more invested in your company's future. Plus, their continuous development can propel your company's capabilities forward. However, this isn't an either/or situation. The best strategy often involves a blend of both, giving you the flexibility of contractors along with the stability of permanent employees. Each business will have unique needs, so consider factors like budget, project duration, and company culture when deciding. How do you balance your team's composition? Share your insights below! #EngineeringTeams #ContractVsPermanent #WorkforceStrategy
