“ Unfortunately , we are still being hit by the labor shortage ,” he explains . “ We know it ’ s not unique to us , but the reality is , we need to find more trained entry-level candidates . They typically come from the commercial diving schools , and once with us , we put a lot of effort into our employee retention schemes . Besides the 401K and medical plans that we offer , I believe that there ’ s
three key factors that your workforce cares
about . First of all , they have to be receiving a salary or rate worth their while , secondly , they need to feel that they make a difference , and thirdly , they have to feel valued . I don ’ t
believe anyone wakes up and says , ‘ I ’ m
really going to mess up today ’. People inherently want to do well and succeed .”
As talks turn to the future , Ted concludes : “ Our goals for 2023 are primarily focused on
international expansion , which we see as our
best viable option for growth , and we have
brought onboard an international business
development specialist to drive this effort . In addition , the next five years are projected to see a significant development and installations of offshore wind facilities on the west coast . This will be coupled with an upswing on the decommissioning and removal of west coast oil platforms and support facilities . Much of this work allows us to build on the integration of our service lines with Michels , a strategic goal for strengthening our market offerings . We see strong synergies in performing much of this work with the Michels service lines and with their onshore pipeline and horizontal drilling services and our offshore components , we can successfully offer our clients a “ one-stop ” shop .” ■
