Subsurface
There is an increasing industry-wide shortage of Geologists,
Geophysicists, Reservoir Engineers, Petrophysicists and other
highly-skilled professionals.
TEC Group International’s approach is unique.
Talented Individuals
We see the individuals we represent as our primary focus, rather than just the companies within the
industry. Through highly-competent consultants - their expertise and knowledge of the sector - we
are uniquely positioned to advise and guide individuals through an often complicated and difficult
process.
We believe in creating meaningful, long-lasting relationships that benefit everybody concerned.
Unlike many companies in our field, we don’t see everyone as a placement; we recognise that there
are many more ways to add value to someone’s career than simply finding them a job. It is this
principle that has allowed us to build quality networks across specialist market sectors.
Quality Employers
Apart from representing the best and most sought-after talent within the Petroleum Industry, TEC
Group International has long-standing relationships with many of the leading organisations. In the
same way that we work only with the best professionals, our approach to which companies we work
with is the same.
We believe strongly in only representing organisations that truly offer our candidates the right type of
career potential. We are proud to be associated with clients who are not only regarded as leading
businesses, but also as leading employers.
