Our Services for Power Mobility in Europe
Planning to expand your power operations in Europe?
Europe’s energy transition has intensified the need for specialised engineering talent across power generation and grid modernisation projects. However, many companies do not have a legal presence in the country where these projects are carried out, impeding personnel deployment.
Through our established European entities, NES Fircroft offers an Employer of Record (EOR) solution that allows clients to hire local and foreign contractors efficiently. Acting as your legal employer in the country, we facilitate quick and compliant workforce mobilisation. Our services cover full legal responsibilities associated with employment, including:
- Managing payroll and ensuring tax compliance across various jurisdictions
- Drafting employment contracts that adhere to local labour laws
- Handling work permits and visa processing
This solution allows your business to effectively address skills shortages while avoiding the operational and financial challenges tied to establishing local infrastructure.
Europe’s labour and immigration laws vary by country. Our in-country specialists ensure you remain fully compliant with all regulations, including:
- Labour law, collective agreements, and union regulations
- Taxation frameworks and social security obligations
- Health & Safety standards and certifications
Outsourcing contractor management to NES Fircroft gives clients a comprehensive compliance infrastructure. We handle everything from immigration paperwork and visa processing to onboarding procedures and documentation, taking care of all the legal and administrative needs for your workforce. Our teams are dedicated to maintaining and updating candidate safety qualifications, background records, and essential insurances such as workers’ compensation and local medical coverage. This ensures that your power workforce remains legally compliant and fully supported.
Our mobility team is committed to making sure your workforce is fully equipped and ready from the outset. We take care of everything from the provision of PPE, tools, and tailored inductions specific to the site, to coordinating transport, arranging accommodation, and offering banking support. This way, your teams can arrive feeling prepared and confident.
We provide a complete assignment support framework designed to streamline contractor onboarding throughout Europe's varied regulatory and cultural environments. Our local experts offer tailored orientation services, which include help with health insurance enrollment, cultural training, and family relocation assistance. By managing all logistical and welfare needs, we enable your internal teams to focus on core project delivery while taking care of the well-being of all stakeholders involved.
We provide consultancy in the early stages of project development (FEED and pre-FEED) to support decision-making. Through our contractor mobility and power workforce solutions, we provide:
- Market intelligence and cost analysis across European markets
