WorkforcePowerful industries need powerful people

Ours are powerful industries. Dredging, Maritime, Offshore, Tunneling, Oil & Gas. Technology-driven, but with a crucial human touch. When you operate on the edge of what is possible and safe, experienced-based split-second decisions can make the difference between success and failure. And often do.

At iPS we know people. As well as we know the industries we service; inside out. We recognize the need of speed. The value of quick and decisive action. And the cost of idleness.

That is why iPS is your qualified partner in HR and crewing solutions. A business associate that truly understands your needs. And has the power to meet them.

Powerful people are our tools and our trade. People that get your job done. Wherever and whenever you need them.

Powerful industries need powerful people

“Give us a call and consider your problem solved”

Valuable insightsWhether projects are well on their way or still on the drawing board, the need for qualified people is often urgent. In an industry that operates worldwide and on a 24/7 basis, there is always a vital vacancy to be filled somewhere.

At iPS we like to invest in a thorough understanding of our clients’ business and personnel needs. When immediate action is required, there is no time for trial and error. Knowing a company’s culture, the job requirements and the specific working conditions is essential for us to find the optimal candidate or crew as quickly as possible. For as long as you need them.

Good chance that many of them are in the database we have been building for the past 20 years. But having a keen eye for what goes on in our world, and a reliable worldwide network of offices and agencies, we also know where to locate professionals that we have not met before.

Being an active, entrepreneurial part of the industry is our way to keep ahead of developments. On a daily basis, we supply numerous companies with a large number of professionals. This provides us with valuable insights that we can put to your direct advantage. Our consultants know first-hand what is going on in the industry, know the people and speak the language.

All you have to do is give us a call.

Rapid, efficient action begins with open communication and a good current understanding of the client and the job at hand.

Personal relationships keep us going, more often than not online. We know who our candidates are, what keeps them going and – more importantly – what they can do.
