As a leading engineering recruitment agency in Taiwan, NES Fircroft operates from our Taipei office with local and regional experts. We provide comprehensive recruitment support for both international and domestic companies.
Our expertise as an engineering recruitment partner spans multiple sectors, including Renewable Energy, Manufacturing, Semiconductors, Chemicals, Technology, Supply Chain, Transportation, and Healthcare. We support both technical roles and essential back-office functions, helping clients and candidates achieve their business and career objectives.
Taiwan has set ambitious targets to change the country’s fuel mix, aiming for 20% of Taiwan’s power to be generated by renewable sources, just 30% from coal, and 50% from natural gas by 2025.
In addition, Taiwan seeks to boost its offshore wind power generation capacity by 15 GW over 10 years between 2026 and 2035, all of which has created considerable investment for engineering ventures in Taiwan.
We understand that securing professionals for new wind projects in particular is a challenging market, with little local experience available. With demonstrable experience in global Renewable Energy and the Offshore Oil & Gas market coupled with an international global office network, NES Fircroft has an unrivalled candidate reach and will leverage our talent pools in more experienced markets to get the talent you need to your project site, compliantly.
Our Taiwan operations started in Renewables and have been expanding into different sectors over the years, now supporting Semiconductors, IT and Power industries.
