Critical hires we've secured
Senior Project Controls Manager - Engineering & Design - Oil & Gas - LNG - Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
Tasked with sourcing an accomplished Project Controls Manager for a landmark LNG development in Papua New Guinea, our client required an expert with a proven background in managing complex project controls for major oil and gas ventures. The successful candidate needed deep expertise in scheduling, cost control, risk management, and stakeholder reporting, ideally within multi-billion-dollar LNG projects.
Using our extensive network and targeted headhunting strategy, we identified a professional with a strong track record delivering project controls for similar high-value projects across Asia and Australasia. The candidate brought robust skills in overseeing FEED, managing integrated project teams, and implementing processes that ensured timely, on-budget delivery.
Within months of onboarding, the candidate enhanced project transparency, improved cost forecasting accuracy, and brought greater coordination between engineering and finance teams—driving performance and supporting the seamless progression to FEED and FID. Their contribution has been integral to the project's revitalisation and future success.

Testimonials
Airswift has a team of specialist recruiters which have been pivotal in providing high quality talent throughout our operations in Papua New Guinea. The team at Airswift have shown themselves to be an ethical, reliable and responsible partner continuously adding value in every situation.
We have been partnering with Airswift for our workforce solutions service and we are very satisfied with their dedications and efficiency.
I was only with Airswift for 6 months and I lost count of how many calls I received from them to see how I was going. I was lucky to get a call from other recruiters. My new job will be direct but I would definitely use Airswift again in the future.
PNG team were wonderful on their support with on boarding and whilst in quarantine. Very accommodating and amenable.
