Critical hires we've secured
Umbilical Technical Expert - Engineering & Design - Oil & Gas - FPSO - Macon, France
Tasked with sourcing a specialist Umbilical Engineer for a high-profile deep offshore field development, we targeted professionals with extensive experience in flexibles, umbilicals, and DEH cable systems for subsea oil and gas projects. The client required a candidate to manage interface coordination, technical reviews, and the qualification of novel equipment during an intensive FEED phase.
We identified a senior engineer with over 15 years of subsea project expertise, fluency in English, and a solid background in international codes (API/ISO) and TotalEnergies specifications. This candidate’s advanced knowledge of pipeline electrical heating technologies and flexible pipe design, along with strong organisational and communication skills, made them ideal. They seamlessly integrated with multidisciplinary teams, ensuring timely delivery of engineering packages, resolving technical queries, and maintaining stringent compliance with HSE requirements. Their leadership and technical oversight were pivotal in de-risking project interfaces and supporting the successful transition to EPCI tendering.

Testimonials
I always found Airswift to be very supportive and professional in all aspects of our dealings during this 30 month assignment.
I can see clearly a very positive evolution in 2 years on the services and the reactivity of Airswift. Even if mistakes happen, my contact is still reactive to find solutions! I am very happy to deal with this agency
Airswift’s recruiters spend time understanding our needs and source candidates that fit our company culture. This is very important for me as a small business owner because if we make a wrong hiring choice, it might compromise the entire team.
It was a major challenge to transfer a large contractor population to a sole supplier, but the support and efficiency of Airswift throughout the process made the transition seamless. We continue to be impressed with the service level and attention to detail provided by Airswift.
