Send a brief. Founder-direct. Built for offshore mobilisation timelines. No CC chains. No volume desks. No CV-spam — just contractors we’ve placed, paid, and represented before.
OPERATIONAL THEATRE
Offshore platform · supply vessel · subsea infrastructure
Hydrographic surveyors, geophysicists, processors, party chiefs, client reps.
Pilots, supervisors, superintendents, NDT, IRM & IMR back-deck crews.
Project, package & installation engineers across FEED, EPCI and brownfield.
Marine reps, OIMs, bridge teams, DP & class-vessel personnel.
Cable lay vessel personnel, jointing specialists, wind installation & O&M teams.
Commissioning engineers, M&E project managers, BMS specialists, electrical & mechanical leads.
Every engagement runs the same way: tight loop, founder-direct, no theatre. The aim is to get the right person on the right vessel with the right paperwork — without eating your week with recruiter back-and-forth.
You send the role — scope, vessel, mob window, day rate range. We confirm receipt and come back with any clarifying questions — founder-direct, not relayed through a team. No CC chains, no “let me check with the team.”
FOUNDER REPLYWe work the existing network first — people we’ve placed before, certs verified, references already in. We don’t post your brief on a jobs board. We don’t scrape LinkedIn. Senior network first, every time.
NETWORK FIRSTA short, real shortlist — typically 2–4 candidates, each one personally known to us, with verified availability. No CV-spam, no “let’s see what sticks.” If we don’t have someone right, we tell you that directly.
REAL SHORTLISTOnce you’ve selected, we manage every compliance step — certifications, medicals, visas, tax structure, contract paperwork. Tracked, verified, current. Mobilisations don’t fail at the gangway on our watch.
PROJECT-DEPENDENTContractor on the vessel. Founder reachable for the duration. Timesheet and payment cycle running on schedule. Repeat engagement set up for the next rotation — because the relationship doesn’t end at mob.
ONGOINGYou don’t need a formal job spec. A founder-to-founder email covering these six points lets us screen the network and come back to you with a real shortlist. The clearer the brief, the faster we move.
Role title and discipline (e.g. “Senior Hydrographic Surveyor, party chief experience preferred”). One line.
Scope, region, vessel or asset, project type (IRM, survey, install, etc.). Just enough for us to know what offshore environment we’re screening for.
Target mob date, rotation pattern (e.g. 4–on / 4–off), expected duration of engagement.
Indicative range you’re working to. We’ll be honest about what’s realistic at that rate before screening — saves both sides time.
Specific certifications, medicals, country-of-origin restrictions, IRATA levels, BOSIET / OPITO requirements, vessel-specific tickets.
Confidentiality, prior agencies on the role, urgency, preferences on nationality / language / region. One paragraph is fine.
These are the standards Novara is built to be measured against. If we ever miss one of these, tell us — founder-direct.
Every brief gets a real response from the founder — weekdays, weekends during live mobilisation, all the same. No automated “we’ll be in touch” emails. No junior screening you before the founder sees the brief.
Shortlists are short on purpose. Two to four candidates, each one personally known, available verified, references current. If we don’t have someone right, we tell you — we don’t pad the shortlist to look busy.
Certifications, medicals, visas, tax structure, contract paperwork — tracked and current before we put anyone in front of you. Mobilisations don’t fail at the gangway because of admin oversights.
The aim is a long-term relationship with your project pipeline — not a one-off placement. Contractors who’ve worked for you come back through us. Briefs you send next quarter screen faster because we know your operation.
