Our client needed a Process Engineering Leader to elevate standards within a major onshore gas operation in Basra during a period of organisational transition. We successfully headhunted a specialist with over 15 years of experience in hydrocarbon production, including expertise in gas treating, process modelling, HAZOP, and root-cause analysis.
The candidate was tasked with optimising plant operations, troubleshooting issues, leading debottlenecking, and generating production trend reports. They also coached local engineers and led plant change initiatives. Their leadership and technical expertise quickly improved reliability, production, and set new standards for process excellence.
Our client urgently needed a Desktop Staging Specialist for a critical EUC rollout in Basra. The role required expertise in Windows operating systems, desktop imaging, group policy management, and mobile device setup, along with strong analytical and stakeholder coordination skills.
We sourced a contractor with over six years of desktop staging experience, Microsoft certifications, and knowledge of both physical and virtual environments. They played a key role in configuring and deploying EUC assets, ensuring compliance with project specifications. Their proactive approach minimised downtime and supported the client’s digital transformation in a secure industrial setting.
We were tasked with sourcing a Non-ERP Applications Project Manager for a leading energy organisation in Iraq, responsible for managing 10–12 application projects supporting gas infrastructure. The role required expertise in project delivery, leadership, software platforms, stakeholder management, and contract negotiations.
We identified a candidate with over 7 years of experience leading complex IT projects. They excelled in risk management, stakeholder engagement, and executing multiple initiatives under pressure. Since joining, they have driven timely project delivery, minimised risks, and integrated digital solutions, significantly enhancing IT project standards and supporting the client’s digital transformation.
