Case Study - Power

Providing Key Skills to a Critical Power Maintenance Contract

Our client is a leading operator of power plants in the Middle East, providing 15% of Kuwait’s energy. Their project plans to meet the demand for over 25GW of power by 2025

The Client's Challenge

Our client needed to expand their contract Operations and Maintenance team, quickly, but could not hire directly due to overseas hiring constraints in Kuwait. 

They were particularly interested in sourcing contractors with experience working in power plants to minimise onboarding and training time.

It was important that the client kept the project moving, with minimal interruption to their timescales, by sourcing:

  • Instrumentation and Electrical Technicians
  • Mechanical Technicians
  • Electrical Technicians



Our Solution

NES Fircroft’s local team provides specialist recruitment solutions in the Power sector, with access to a global network of qualified and experienced candidates. We worked with the client to identify the skills and experience needed before going to market to source appropriate candidates.

  • Our team is highly knowledgeable in Kuwait’s visa and work permit process; we are locally licenced and incorporated in the country, enabling us to streamline the hiring process and leverage our broad network reach to place expatriates.
  • Within agreed timelines, we implemented a complete end-to-end staffing solution, including recruitment, mobilisation, transportation to the country, work permits, and visas for all hired contractors.
  • To meet the immigration requirements of Kuwait, we sourced Indian nationals with the right skills and experience for the positions.
  • Through our contract staffing services, we have reduced overheads and improved efficiency for the client by implementing an auditable payroll service.
The Results of Our Support

We filled all ten long-term contract positions for the client in just one month through a combination of highly competitive pay and benefits packages, mobilisation and relocation support, and contract staffing services. The client was delighted with the high quality of candidates in such a quick turnaround.
