Recruitment Partner for LNG and Chemical Clients
Case Study
Across the Gulf Coast, a major portfolio of energy and petrochemical projects required high-volume engineering recruitment over an extended period. Over more than a decade, Global Edge supported approximately 1,200 job orders across construction, design, and operational disciplines. Due to the size and complexity of these capital projects, the client required a recruitment partner capable of rapid mobilization and stable long-term support.
The Solution
Global Edge deployed an integrated recruitment model focused on discipline-specific specialization. With dedicated recruiters for construction management, engineering, piping, electrical, mechanical, and civil/structural roles, the team built a reliable pipeline of qualified professionals ready to step into fast-moving project environments.
Process recommendations were implemented early in the partnership to streamline feedback loops, reduce time-to-fill, and accommodate urgent staffing needs. A senior account manager provided continuity across sites, serving as a direct point of contact for workforce planning, job order prioritization, and issue resolution.
Job titles supported included:
- Field Construction Engineers
- Process Engineers
- Project Engineers
- I+C Engineers
- Electrical, Piping, Commercial, Mechanical, and Civil/Structural Engineers
The Outcome
Across more than 10 years of collaboration, Global Edge has remained a trusted talent partner supporting the full lifecycle of major Gulf Coast capital projects. The team continues to deliver high-volume recruitment with accuracy and speed, ensuring the client maintains consistent workforce coverage across all engineering and construction functions.
