Powering Renewables Growth in the Middle East with Expert Workforce Solutions
We work closely with clients to evaluate their renewable energy project strategies and workforce requirements across the Middle East. Leveraging our deep expertise in global mobility, regional talent markets, and local employment regulations, NES Fircroft is uniquely positioned to advise on optimal project resourcing. By aligning with project goals from the outset, we ensure decision-makers are equipped with the insights they need to select the most strategic locations for project execution and to build the right talent infrastructure as projects progress.
Why NES Fircroft?
Offshore Wind Fabrication
- As the Middle East increases investment in Offshore Wind, regional fabrication yards are evolving to support the construction of foundations, jackets, and HVDC platforms. NES Fircroft provides experienced engineers across structural, electrical, and marine disciplines to support these complex builds. Our talent solutions ensure projects are staffed with the right expertise at every stage - from FEED to commissioning - helping drive global Offshore Wind ambitions forward.
Onshore Wind
- Onshore Wind capacity is expanding in the Middle East, with major projects emerging over the GCC. NES Fircroft supports this growth by supplying skilled engineers across civil, mechanical, and electrical disciplines to manage everything from site development and turbine installation to grid integration. Our workforce solutions ensure that onshore wind projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and fully compliant with local regulations.
Hydrogen
- Through our experience supporting the largest Hydrogen project in the region, our teams support by providing highly skilled professionals across many disciplines, throughout the full project lifecyle. From electrolyser integration to hydrogen storage and export infrastructure, our experts help deliver safe, efficient, and future-ready hydrogen facilities across the region.
Solar Energy
- Solar technology has advanced rapidly, delivering scalable solutions across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Converting sunlight into electricity reduces reliance on traditional energy sources and cuts operational costs. We support this transition by providing technical solutions that help clients maximise performance and long-term value from their solar investments.
Battery Storage
- Battery storage transforms energy management by storing excess electricity when needed, offering flexibility, resilience, and efficiency. Whether integrated with solar or broader infrastructure, it helps stabilise the grid, reduce peak charges, and ensure reliable power. We support clients with tailored workforce solutions and expert guidance on technology selection, integration, and optimisation—driving energy independence and sustainability.

Planning to expand your renewables operation in the Middle East?
Bridging local skills gaps can be a significant challenge, particularly in the rapidly evolving renewables sector. Many organisations look to international talent to meet project demands, but hiring across borders without a legal presence in each country can be complex. That’s where NES Fircroft’s Employer of Record (EOR) services provide a seamless solution.
As your EOR partner, we legally employ workers on your behalf, taking full responsibility for administrative, legal, and compliance matters. This enables you to scale operations across the Middle East without establishing local entities.
If your renewable energy projects require specialist engineers from overseas, our EOR solution allows you to attract and retain global talent swiftly and compliantly. We manage everything from visa and work permit applications to payroll, taxation, and adherence to local employment laws, so you can focus on delivering your projects with confidence and peace of mind.
We support every phase of renewable energy projects
As the Middle East accelerates its renewable energy ambitions, NES Fircroft provides a comprehensive contractor management solution to support workforce deployment across solar, wind, and hydrogen projects. We handle all logistical aspects—allowing clients to focus on project execution—while ensuring contractors receive full support throughout their assignments. This includes in-country orientation, accommodation arrangements, bank account set-up, medical cover, and insurance.
With commercial teams based across the region, we offer deep local knowledge and strong ties with authorities to ensure smooth onboarding and compliance. Our services help contractors integrate quickly into new environments, reduce administrative burdens, and protect all parties through robust legal and liability frameworks.
