Technology and engineering recruiters in China

In 2008, Airswift began operations in the People's Republic of China to support the Chuandongbei Gas project, opening an office in Chengdu, Sichuan to provide a local presence. In 2010, we expanded our presence to Qingdao, where we supported the Gorgon LNG project.

Airswift has since expanded across the country, opening an office in Shanghai to help more organisations in China find and hire the top technical talent worldwide. Since the start of our services in China, we have employed over 20 staff and support various areas in the energy sector. This includes, but is not limited to upstream, midstream, downstream and fabrication.

Testimonials

The person I dealt with was a stand out because they were extremely helpful and efficient in getting information so quickly. They have been very warm, gracious and professional.
Airswift gave excellent help with the whole process, from visa, flights to medical transportation. Everyone has been very helpful and welcoming. A great team all around. Airswift is an excellent organisation.
Airswift is the most professional of engineering recruitment firms I have dealt with in many FPSO projects. Their dedication, timely intervention, effective communication and dissemination of important pandemic information such as Government directives, Advisories, Control and Safeguarding measures to NVUP staff are commendable.
Congratulations to Airswift for your utmost support, double thumbs up for me
