Bahrain: BAPCO's Modernization Program (BMP), which significantly raised refining capacity and continues to drive maintenance-crew demand.
Every oil & gas candidate undergoes mandatory technical assessment before shortlisting. Welders complete a practical 6G position weld test with bend testing and visual inspection (and radiographic examination for premium campaigns). E&I technicians undergo loop calibration and fault-finding assessments. HSE candidates are evaluated on PTW systems, MSRA, and incident investigation methodology.
Egyptian engineers and technicians are widely recognised across the Gulf for strong technical foundations, Arabic language capability (critical for Libyan projects), adaptability to GCC site environments, and competitive cost-to-quality ratios. Egypt's petroleum engineering schools (Cairo University, Suez Canal University) produce internationally respected graduates.
Our welders are qualified to ASME Section IX and/or API 1104. We can arrange new qualification testing at approved testing facilities for campaign-specific requirements.
Yes. We supply BOSIET/HUET certified offshore personnel and coordinate offshore medical fitness examinations in Egypt.
We run structured batch campaigns: sourcing → trade testing → medical → visa coordination → batch travel. We have successfully managed single campaigns of 50–300+ workers.
QTS focuses exclusively on oil & gas, energy, and industrial sectors in GCC countries and Libya. Our candidate pool, screening, and account managers have deep sector knowledge — from ASME IX for welders to NEBOSH IGC for HSE officers and API 570 for inspectors.
Welders hold 6G or 6GR to ASME IX or API 1104; HSE officers hold NEBOSH IGC, IOSH, or IOGP-compliant training; QA/QC inspectors hold CSWIP, PCN, or AWS CWI; instrument technicians may be certified on Yokogawa, Honeywell, or Emerson DCS. We verify all certifications before presenting candidates.
ASME (B31.3, VIII, IX), API (570, 580, 653, 1104), ISO 3834, IEC, NFPA, and IOGP safety guidelines, plus operator-specific standards such as Saudi Aramco SAES, ADNOC, and KOC requirements.
Structured technical interviews with role-specific questions, certification and employer-reference verification, and practical skills assessments or client-conducted trade tests for critical roles.
Typically 3 to 5 weeks, depending on headcount and destination-country requirements: job order intake, shortlisting and technical interviews, medical examinations (GAMCA where required), then visa coordination and travel. Large campaigns are mobilised in phased batches.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and Libya — see our UAE, Kuwait, and Libya pages for local requirements.
No. QTS is a sourcing and recruitment partner to contractors, EPC companies, and employers needing specialist manpower — not a direct hiring channel into the operators. Hiring on operator projects generally flows through approved contractors, and we supply them with technically screened candidates and verified credentials.
Job titles and headcount, required certifications and standards, project location, expected start date, and contract, accommodation, and travel terms. We then send an initial shortlist and agree a mobilisation timeline.
