As the world accelerates toward a more sustainable future, the demand for skilled professionals in renewable energy, offshore infrastructure, and large‑scale engineering projects is growing at an unprecedented pace. iPS Powerful People is stepping forward as a crucial partner in this transition, supplying the expertise, workforce, and global reach needed to power the shift.
Supporting a Complex and Rapidly Changing Industry
The global energy landscape is evolving quickly. Organisations are narrowing their focus on core activities, creating a growing need for specialized workforce solutions. iPS meets this need by offering recruitment, contract management, and payroll services tailored specifically for industries driving the energy transition, including offshore wind, marine engineering, and civil infrastructure.
While many agencies provide temporary staffing, iPS sets itself apart by delivering technical talent across a wide spectrum, from blue‑collar specialists working offshore to high‑level project managers and directors overseeing complex energy projects. Whether professionals are needed for short‑term deployments or long‑term roles, iPS ensures clients gain access to the expertise required to keep large projects moving.
A Global Footprint Supporting Local Energy Futures
Since its founding in 1988 in Leiden, iPS has expanded to twelve offices worldwide, along with exclusive partnerships in fifteen additional countries. This extensive network enables the company to support major energy and infrastructure projects wherever demand arises, from Europe to the U.S., Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and beyond. On any given day, between 1,400 and 1,600 specialists are deployed worldwide through iPS placements.
One standout example of the organisation’s long‑term commitment is its involvement in the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, one of Europe’s most significant infrastructure developments, where iPS is expected to remain active for the next six to seven years.
Why Clients Choose iPS
According to CEO Patrick Mans, the company’s strength rests on three pillars:
- People: Skilled and committed specialists ready to work on international energy projects.
- Expertise: Deep knowledge of the markets, regions, and regulations in which iPS operates.
- Infrastructure: The organisational systems and on‑the‑ground support required to manage overseas deployments seamlessly.
From arranging travel and housing to handling contracts, payroll, and insurance, iPS takes care of everything professionals need to stay focused on their work. The company also maintains close relationships with clients and partners by staying active at industry trade fairs, conferences, and through direct personal engagement, a human‑first approach that remains at the core of their success.
Commitment to Sustainability and Digital Innovation
iPS is not only supporting the energy transition, it is embracing it internally. As a B Corp–certified organisation, the company is committed to minimizing its environmental footprint while helping build the infrastructure for a sustainable global future. Sustainability principles guide both its recruitment philosophy and its operational practices.
Digitalization also plays a key role. With significant volumes of global workforce data to manage, iPS invests strongly in digital systems that streamline communication and recruitment processes.
Nevertheless, the human element remains essential, a balance reflected in their core values: Unite, Commit, Innovate, and Empower.
Looking Ahead: Growing With the Energy Transition
The coming years will see an even greater demand for specialised talent in renewable energy and major infrastructure projects. iPS plans to meet this challenge head‑on by continuing its international growth, expanding its service offerings, and remaining a trusted partner in the global energy transition.
With decades of expertise, a strong global presence, and a mission aligned with a sustainable future, iPS Powerful People is poised to play an increasingly impactful role as nations and industries work together toward cleaner, more resilient energy systems.
