New contracts send ESVAGT on the hunt for 50 new seafarers

New contracts in the North Sea require ESVAGT to mass-recruit. Boosts in Denmark and the Faroe Islands have resulted in great contacts.

New long-term contracts with TotalEnergies on seven vessels for operations in the North Sea have resulted in great activity in the HR-department in ESVAGT.

The contracts are creating a demand for about 50 new seafarers: an approximate 8 percent expansion of the workforce.

“It is a positive matter, that we are on market for this substantial number of new colleagues”, says Nick Vejlgaard Ørskov, Chief Human Resources Officer in ESVAGT:

“We have been thoroughly preparing while getting the contracts closed to ensure our readiness when the contracts were ready. A recruitment process with impressive results in Denmark and the Faroe Islands have already been carried out. Despite a great demand for skilled seafarers, we recognize that ESVAGT is an attractive workplace”, he says.

The recruitment is at all levels of seafarers from ordinary ship’s assistants to senior officers.
