1. Workforce
Powerful industries need powerful people

2. Powerful industries need powerful people
Ours are powerful industries. Dredging, Maritime, Offshore,
Tunneling, Oil & Gas. Technology-driven, but with a crucial human
touch. When you operate on the edge of what is possible and safe,
experienced-based split-second decisions can make the difference
between success and failure. And often do.
At iPS we know people. As well as we know the industries we service;
inside out. We recognize the need of speed. The value of quick and
decisive action. And the cost of idleness.
That is why iPS is your qualified partner in HR and crewing solutions.
A business associate that truly understands your needs. And has the
power to meet them.
Powerful people are our tools and our trade. People that get your job
done. Wherever and whenever you need them.

3. Valuable insights
Whether projects are well on their way or still on the drawing
board, the need for qualified people is often urgent. In an industry
that operates worldwide and on a 24/7 basis, there is always a
vital vacancy to be filled somewhere.
At iPS we like to invest in a thorough understanding of our clients’
business and personnel needs. When immediate action is
required, there is no time for trial and error. Knowing a company’s
culture, the job requirements and the specific working conditions
is essential for us to find the optimal candidate or crew as quickly
as possible. For as long as you need them.
Good chance that many of them are in the database we have been
building for the past 20 years. But having a keen eye for what goes
on in our world, and a reliable worldwide network of offices and
agencies, we also know where to locate professionals that we
have not met before.
Being an active, entrepreneurial part of the industry is our way
to keep ahead of developments. On a daily basis, we supply

organization. Our staff is always on the lookout for a special kind
of people: those who can make a difference and have the hands
and brains to do so. In our industry there is little room for error;
and quality is the key issue. Determining the proper fit between

interest in what makes people tick, and the willingness to go one
step further to prove gut feelings right.
We realize that the people who work for us are our best
ambassadors and an important lifeline with our clients.

5. A powerful hand
Founded in 1988, iPS has gained extensive experience in all
staffing aspects of the technical and nautical industries. Having
our roots in dredging – and proud of it – today we service the fields
of offshore, oil & gas, tunneling and civil construction alike, and
can boast an established track record as a reliable and flexible
partner for the recruiting, contracting and payrolling of personnel
all around the world.
Our staff has always had a keen eye for business opportunities in
both new and existing markets. Exploring opportunities is in our
DNA; and so is co-operation. This open-minded focus has allowed
us to build an extensive network, close personal connections and an
in-depth understanding of our markets. These qualities enable us to
select the best people for our clients; any time, any place, anywhere.
With over 80 staff onboard worldwide, iPS is large enough to have
an impact, and small enough to allow close personal contact.
Supported by an efficient back office and high-tech software, our
consultants know the issues of the industries in which we operate
first-hand. Therefore, we can also help out when it comes to
“It’s the power of dreams and both feet on the ground that keep us going”
questions of international law and legislation, taxes and insurance.
We will be happy to advise on payroll and legislation issues, and
are fully equipped to handle all the necessary paperwork. But first
and foremost, we are a people’s business. Powerful people, who
lend a powerful hand to keep your projects fully staffed and on the
move.

6. Efficient action
At iPS we recognize that our role is to be a part of the solution, to
think ahead, at a competitive price, and often with the speed of
light. Time zones and 24/7 projects in a mixture of cultures have
dynamics of their own, leaving little room for debate; unless this
serves to clarify the question. Rapid, efficient action begins with
open communication and a good current understanding of the
client and the job at hand.
Personal relationships keep us going, more often than not online.
We know who our candidates are, what keeps them going and
– more importantly – what they can do. We aim to know all of our
clients, first-hand and in-depth, because we like to operate as a
valuable, well-informed extension of their HR and crewing
departments.
We understand what a good team can do. And take pride in putting
our clients first. For our candidates we aspire to be a respectful, loyal
employer that can truly offer a sound career in these exciting
business sectors we consider our own. We take pleasure in the
creative solutions we come up with and truly believe that taking good
care of our people means taking good care of our clients. Quality and
“Lasting relationships are at the heart of our business” safety are always our priority and we fully guarantee to comply with
the highest health and safety standards.

7. Wide experience
Most of our projects go beyond borders. Working on oceans,
offshore rigs and cross-border infrastructure requires an
international focus, and the ability to speak the language of the
trade is essential. iPS has built a broad network of international
offices and agencies that helps us to understand and meet the
needs of both global and local clients and candidates.
And we are continuously setting up new partnerships worldwide.
Ras Laffan, Qatar
Leading dredging companies built the largest LNG harbor in the
world under strict safety and environmental regulations.
iPS delivered teams for running the workshop, logistics, office
work and the campsite. In addition, we supplied professionals for
operating and guidance of the backhoes, cranes and the dredging
vessels, as well as engineers, welders, mechanics and supervisors.
We literally found hundreds of people for this project, from all over
the world.
Maasvlakte 2, The Netherlands

coastlines, ports, rivers and general infrastructure.

Rotterdam harbor. We provide surveyors, sandfill masters, bulldozer
drivers, engineers and maritime crews to the vessels.

clear focus on this market, both newly built and maintenance.
