Built in
the Delta
Ninety-four percent of our people are Nigerian and most are from the communities where we work. Here is how we hire, train and buy locally.
Example figures for this demo.
G1The Onne training room
Twelve months from school leaver to technician.
Each year 120 young people from Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa join our technician programme: three months in the training room, nine months on crews with a mentor. Most stay with us; the rest are hired by other contractors, which we count as a success too.
Courses cover rigging, scaffolding, welding, NDT basics and first aid. Trainees are paid from the first day, and transport from host communities is provided.

Community relations are run by people from those communities. We agree work, training places and supplier quotas with community leaders before mobilisation and report against them every month.
