The energy sector faces constant pressure to reduce operational costs while maintaining high standards of safety and regulatory compliance.

The client, a major UK energy operator, needed a Marine TA (technical authority) - a niche, consultant-level role critical for safety and operational governance.

Relying on traditional recruitment for this role often leads to:

• a resource that lacks the necessary experience or expertise
• competency questions from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE)
• high costs and a potential lack of continuity

The operator sought a solution that guaranteed both verifiable competency and reliable cover.

Key elements of this include:

1. verified competency: the initial specialist, and all subsequent cover, has their competency formally assessed and validated by Marex’s senior leadership, guaranteeing the highest standard of technical input
2. seamless handover: during the year, the primary postholder transitioned from one specialist to another, demonstrating People Plus’s ability to manage personnel changes without disruption to the client’s operations or compliance
3. resilience and backfill: the post was backfilled during planned absences and holidays by other qualified members of the Marex team. This ensured 100% coverage and meant the client never had a gap in this critical role.
4. the Marex Collective: crucially, the assigned TA also has access to Marex’s combined decades of experience across marine, safety and hazardous offshore operations. This collective backing ensures expert advice is always available, for all technical challenges
