The Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Company said it will be hiring more than 2,000 workers to service key LNG projects in Russia and Australia.
“The company is aiming to deliver some of the largest LNG modules ever built, accelerating project construction and minimizing the time to commercial operation. Over the next three months, we expect to create thousands of jobs to build these complex and exciting modules to the highest levels of safety and quality in our yards at Batangas outside of Manila,” said William Ottiger, Chairman, AG&P .
AG&P has the largest fabrication yard in South East Asia at over 1.5 million square metres and annual production capacity of 75,000 tonnes, it said in a statement.
The company has grown rapidly in the last five years from 300 to over 6,000 craftsmen. AG&P provides modular construction and project support services to the offshore and onshore oil and gas, mining, power and industrial infrastructure sectors.
“AG&P is aggressively ramping up. We are in urgent need of hundreds of structural welders including 2G/3G/4G SMAW, 6G SMAW, FCAW, many quality inspectors, structural, piping, engineers, structural fitters, electrical technicians (terminators), E&I detailers and checkers, Field and project engineers, strong project managers and safety personnel. We’re working round-the-clock processing applications from both local and overseas candidates for immediate hire,” said Cecile Batalia, Vice President, Human Resources .
The company said it has won one of the largest export contracts in the history of the Philippines. Simultaneously, with the global prices of oil going down, projects all over the world are being cancelled, added Batalia. This has opened the door for domestic craftsmen, technical professionals and engineers working abroad to work in AG&P on one of the world’s largest LNG undertaking while being at home, it added.
