About you:
If you have world-class ambitions to reach the stars while keeping your feet on the ground, we’re the team for you. We've created a new breed of company – future-focused with reimagined ambition across all disciplines within the energy sector. We love people who know their own potential and are not afraid to use it. We know that together, we’re far more than the sum of our parts. So we celebrate people who want to grow and develop as we work together on some of the largest projects on the energy world stage.
Our purpose and beliefs:
As Kent, we’re tackling the greatest challenge of our time - to bring our world the energy it needs in the most responsible way ever imagined. It’s the energy of every member of our team, driven by our beliefs, that is making this happen. Whatever our skill, our language, or our culture. These beliefs define and direct us every day to be the very best - for ourselves, our clients, our key stakeholders, the communities in which we operate and the planet:
- We PLAY BIG
- We thrive on EMOTIONAL AGILITY
- We are FANATICAL ABOUT PERFORMANCE
- We are built on INFINITE THINKING
Read more about the Purpose, Beliefs and Guiding Principles that drive us.
Our vision for Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging:
We recognise that diversity & inclusion are catalysts for success. We’re driving awareness on the benefits of people diversity, diversity of experiences and diversity of our perspectives. We're creating a culture of inclusivity, where all employees feel a sense of belonging. Our combined energy is fuelled by different nationalities, across 6 continents and 24 countries. Our commitment is to celebrate character – no matter what ethnic background, gender, age, religion, identity, or disability. In the UK we're working towards D&I accreditation with The Clear Company, and we're signed up to the AXIS Pledge promising to make equal pay, equal leadership, and equal opportunities a reality. We understand that part-time doesn't mean part-committed, and most of our roles can be performed on a part-time basis. We work flexibly, and hybrid working is the norm for us, with staff typically spending around 50% of their week working from one of our offices.
This vacancy is being advertised on behalf of Kent. In August 2021, Kentech acquired the Oil and Gas Business of SNC-Lavalin, including our Offshore Wind team. This led to the relaunch of the new company, now known as Kent, as a leading international integrated energy services company. For one year post-sale, HR and recruitment services will be provided to Kent via a trading agreement with SNC-Lavalin (Atkins) in the UK.
All applications will ultimately be managed by the SNC-Lavalin (Atkins) Recruitment team.
