In 2023, Basrah Gas Company (BGC) faced immense pressure to deliver a newly secured project with complex workforce demands and an aggressive timeline. The organization lacked the internal infrastructure and expertise to compliantly manage end-to-end talent operations in Iraq at the required volume. With limited mechanisms for local or expatriate recruitment, visa processing, payroll, or in-country mobilization, BGC’s existing teams were stretched beyond capacity. The absence of compliant workforce support services posed significant risks to project delivery timelines and workforce readiness. A dedicated account team was implemented, delivering an all-encompassing solution that enabled BGC to quickly stabilize and scale operations across multiple project sites. Leveraging in-country infrastructure and local expertise, personnel were onboarded at the required volume and speed without compromising compliance or quality. Robust reporting and service reviews were introduced to give BGC full visibility and control over workforce operations. This partnership de-risked project delivery and allowed BGC to scale with confidence, leading to the award of three additional exclusive contracts. The partnership evolved into a strategic collaboration, supporting BGC’s most critical and complex projects. It enabled BGC to meet operational goals on time and with full compliance, through 100% role fulfilment and rapid mobilization of over 80 personnel. Continuous process improvement and full transparency through reporting further contributed to BGC's success. This led to exclusive awards across four major contracts, allowing BGC to meet ambitious timelines, reduce costs, and build a scalable, compliant workforce.
