Reimagining the workforce for a changing world
Across energy, engineering and digital sectors, global disruption is reshaping how businesses build and deploy teams. New technologies, skills shortages, and shifting market priorities mean that companies are rethinking traditional workforce models, and the partnerships that make complex projects possible.
That’s where strong partnerships matter most. For over 50 years, Brunel has helped clients meet transformation head-on — delivering global expertise seamlessly across borders, managing compliance with confidence, and scaling specialist teams wherever, whenever they’re needed. What began as a technical recruitment firm in the Netherlands has evolved into a global workforce and project solutions partner, operating in more than 45 countries.
Hosted on CNBC, our short film explores how Brunel collaborates with global leaders including Siemens and Inch Cape Offshore Wind, to show how trusted partnerships and local expertise are enabling large-scale progress across the energy, engineering, and digital sectors.
Peter de Laat,
CEO, Brunel
For more than 50 years, we’ve helped industries evolve through major transformations. But the speed and scale of change today are unprecedented. But there are areas that require investment now, like energy security, energy transition, digital disruption and AI.
How workforce partnerships drive industrial transformation
In energy, we’re supporting Inch Cape Offshore Wind, one of Scotland’s largest renewable projects — delivering clean power to more than half the country’s homes. In technology, we’re working alongside Siemens, a global leader in industrial digitalisation, to connect advanced digital platforms with real-world operations.
Here are just two examples of how Brunel combines global reach, local expertise and workforce agility to make large-scale transformation possible.
Powering the Energy Transition
Building one of Scotland’s largest offshore wind farms means tackling challenges that span continents — from supply chain complexity to quality oversight at scale.
Once complete, Inch Cape will generate enough clean electricity to power more than half of Scotland’s homes. Success depends on trusted global partnerships and with fabrication shifting to China — local expertise became critical.
Alongside our colleagues at Taylor Hopkinson, Brunel provided on-the-ground teams to ensure quality, compliance, and seamless workforce coordination across borders and time zones.
