Subsurface

There is an increasing industry-wide shortage of Geologists,

Geophysicists, Reservoir Engineers, Petrophysicists and other

highly-skilled professionals.

TEC Group International’s approach is unique.

Talented Individuals

We see the individuals we represent as our primary focus, rather than just the companies within the

industry. Through highly-competent consultants - their expertise and knowledge of the sector - we

are uniquely positioned to advise and guide individuals through an often complicated and difficult

process.

We believe in creating meaningful, long-lasting relationships that benefit everybody concerned.

Unlike many companies in our field, we don’t see everyone as a placement; we recognise that there

are many more ways to add value to someone’s career than simply finding them a job. It is this

principle that has allowed us to build quality networks across specialist market sectors.

Quality Employers

Apart from representing the best and most sought-after talent within the Petroleum Industry, TEC

Group International has long-standing relationships with many of the leading organisations. In the

same way that we work only with the best professionals, our approach to which companies we work

with is the same.

We believe strongly in only representing organisations that truly offer our candidates the right type of

career potential. We are proud to be associated with clients who are not only regarded as leading

businesses, but also as leading employers.

Surface Engineering and Projects

TEC Group International’s Surface Engineering and Projects division

works with leading Oil & Gas operators and service companies

across the UK, Europe and Africa. Specifically focussed on mid-to-

senior level hires, we advise at all stages of the recruitment lifecycle.

‘Surface Engineering and Projects’ refers to the capability to deliver world-class projects that are

safe, competitive and predictive. The challenge for modern oil companies is to ensure they have the

organizational capabilities, processes and technologies required for managing and executing asset

developments that will fuel production growth. There is a shortage of talented Executives,

Management and Engineers in the Surface Engineering and Projects field and a great demand for

their skills.

TEC Group International locates talented individuals via our rigorous research methods, our

specialist networks and through progressive and targeted advertising and marketing campaigns. It is

because of this approach that we locate and move future market leaders in Surface Engineering and

Projects. Discipline areas we are most associated with include:

• Project Management and Controls

• Process/Surface Facilities Engineering

• Development Engineering

• Operations, Maintenance and Reliability
