Fulkrum, a leading provider of inspection, expediting, auditing and technical staffing to the energy industry, has announced exponential growth across their offices in the Middle East following a series of key appointments, new contract wins, and the incorporation of their newest entity in Qatar.

Fulkrum’s four offices in the Middle East have seen rapid growth over the last year in response to the region’s growing demand for energy and continued contract awards to the local Engineering contractors. Its newest entity in Qatar is strategically positioned to support its Middle East clients, enabling them to benefit from Fulkrum’s expansive network of local expertise and industry knowledge.

To support the sustained growth, during the fourth quarter of 2022, Fulkrum promoted Usman Arshad to Country Manager for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), bringing with him more than 12 years of Quality Control and Business Development experience across the energy, construction, and shipping industries. As the Country Manager for KSA, Usman manages all ongoing and upcoming projects within the region and will be a key player in Fulkrum’s continued success across the Middle East. The KSA team expanded further through the strategic hiring of Aramco Approved Inspectors, Coordinators, and the secondment of multiple Technical Specialists to long term project assignments supporting their clients in-country. With major contracts on the horizon, Fulkrum anticipates even more rapid development of the KSA office in the coming years.  

Following a period of expansive growth, Fulkrum’s United Arab Emirates (UAE) team, relocated to a larger office in Abu Dhabi. In recent months, experienced inspection and engineering professional, Affney D’Souza joined the team as a QC Coordinator to further support the increasing demand for compliance, safety, and quality assurance across the local energy industry 

Earlier this year Fulkrum also announced a key appointment for its India office when Wilson Chettiar joined the team bringing an extensive track record in the Technical Staffing sector. Following this key appointment, the India office has continued to go from strength to strength offering its local clients turnkey Vendor Surveillance, Technical Staffing, and Onsite Inspection Services. 

With an impeccable track record working for industry giants across the world, and a series of major projects to be awarded next year, 2023 is set to be another record year with exponential growth for Fulkrum in the Middle East, and globally. 

Muhammed Tayyab, Fulkrum’s Regional Manager for the Middle East and Caspian said: 
“The growth we have seen in 2022 is incredible. Looking to 2023, the prospects for all our offices within the region are excellent – from continued team growth to landmark projects with major operators, we are all looking forward to the next 12 months of continued success for Fulkrum as we support our clients with industry leading inspection, auditing, expediting and technical staffing services.”

Established in 2011 in Corby, Fulkrum has grown into a global company with a strong international footprint. Operating in the four key regions – the Americas, Europe and Africa, APAC and the Middle East – Fulkrum has a sustainable track record in the oil and gas, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and renewables sectors, offering a wide range of multi-disciplinary services.
