Air Energi Group, the oil and gas industry recruiter has been awarded a contract to provide global exploration company, Cobalt International Energy, with regional support services in Malaysia.
The company has also launched a new Global Mobility Services division, headed up by new appointment Brian Kleb.
In his role as business development manager for the new division, Kleb will be based in Houston, Texas. He has a wealth of experience in global mobility and relocation services and will be responsible for establishing and growing Air Energi’s new offering internationally.
The nine-month agreement with Cobalt, which has an 18 month extension option, will see Air Energi deliver regional support services to the project management team of a major front end engineering design (FEED) project in Kuala Lumpur.
The scope of work covers in-country support for Cobalt International Energy’s expatriate personnel in Kuala Lumpur throughout the duration of the project.
Kleb said: “Companies like Cobalt International Energy are choosing to work with specialists such as Air Energi at the earliest opportunity to understand the challenges, opportunities and potential impact on cost and schedule of project packages being awarded in particular countries.”
“As such, Air Energi’s new Global Mobility offering comes at a time when projects are moving into more remote and less accessible regions, meaning companies must carefully consider how they can staff projects appropriately.”
