About us

Disrupting upstream hiring

Natural Resource Professionals has created a transparent talent-matching platform that connects both employers/recruiters and candidates. Employers/recruiters will only contact candidates with immediately available jobs. Our focus is on listing only candidates who are active and currently available for work. We only allow high-quality candidates who satisfactorily complete their profiles to be active on the platform. Candidates may register their interest on the Site and return at any time to complete their profiles. Candidates who complete their profiles will be notified that they are approved.

Our talent marketplace will enable approved employers and recruiters to contact and discuss opportunities directly with candidates. The result is an up-to-date, no-nonsense platform.

Our mission

How we work

Since the oil and gas crash of 2014, previous expressions such as ‘back to normal’ or ‘the next upturn’ have been seldom used. A new reality is dawning. Understanding that recently laid-off staff can be called back to action, hefty finder's fees seem excessive. Supplementary DIY hiring approaches, such as using social media platforms to scout for candidates, can directly incur time & cost penalties, often ill-afforded by busy hiring or Technical Managers.

In the wake of a subdued oil and gas industry, there has been a surge in demand for candidates with new or transferable skills to join the geothermal and offshore wind generation industries, and our Site caters for this demand.

Natrespro can eliminate a whole costly time-consuming cycle of advertising, screening & shortlisting. Rather than predicting the future, Natrespro has decided to focus on what a customer requires - right now.

Our team

Steve Nearly four decades in the oil & gas and geothermal industries. Subject matter expert in many areas of upstream well construction	Alex Consultant Sales & Marketing Expert

Steve spearheads the offshore technical expertise of Natrespro and, therefore, the core of the platform.

With his experience in planning and managing upstream oil and gas activities across the globe, Steve knows the exact requirements for each role. With recent technical advances, there are many nuances of positions that used to get colloquially referred to as Drillers, Engineers & Geologists. Steve understands the nuances of these roles and the variations around core job titles.

The platform and the database behind it are minutely faceted to make it easy for candidates to select their exact experience, skills, specialities & certifications. Candidates who provide their rig history and basin and reservoir experience will unlock a summary dashboard unique to Natrespro.

Such is Steve’s commitment to technical expertise that, in his spare time, you’ll find him building a rig vessel database focused on historical events dating back almost a century.

Alex has been an invaluable wealth of experience and a go-to resource for building and maintaining site content, having worked in technical recruitment, website creation and hybrid working for over a decade.
