Background

Our client is the single-largest manufacturing foreign investor in Singapore with assets of more than $7 billion. It operates the Singapore Refinery and Singapore Chemical Plant (SCP). Together, they form our client’s largest integrated manufacturing site in Asia.

The Singapore Parallel Train (SPT) is an integrated petrochemicals project that started construction in the refinery and chemical hub of Jurong Island in Singapore. It is integrated with the existing SCP, providing investment and operating synergies.

Challenge

Our client had to identify suitable contractors available on short notice, despite the shortage of skilled and experienced local contractors. Our client also needed assistance obtaining visas and work permits for contractors and organising quick mobilisation, sometimes within one day.

Airswift Solution

Airswift built a database of Singaporean candidates resulting in a turnaround of 12 hours for most of the positions. Airswift dedicated a logistics team available 24/7 to assist with visa applications and quick mobilisation of contractors.

Results

Airswift assembled an Emergency Response Team to develop close relationships with contractors through regular site visits and hosted events and regularly asked contractors for candidate referrals.

I have always found Airswift to be very responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. We have used Airswift specifically to facilitate contractor needs in countries where we have not had an entity or where we have had a need for specific contractor assistance that Airswift can provide.

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.

The speed in Airswift's team is incredible; once we got through the detailed plan, the candidates came through rapidly with incredible quality.

I have only positive feedback. My main point of contact is friendly, responsive, proactive and understands our needs. We have always received high calibre temporary employees and I would highly recommend Airswift.
