Zormelo & Associates played a leading role in the upstream sector by partnering with Tullow Ghana Limited right at its inception.  We worked with the team in London to set up the HR Department and develop HR policies, procedures and systems prior to the engagement of local employees in 2007. We went on to assist with the recruitment of its onshore staff. Our second significant participation in the Oil & Gas sector was to recruit for the first FPSO, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, for MODEC Ghana and subsequently for the second FPSO, Professor John Atta Mills.

In addition to recruitment, we have provided Training, HR Advisory and Outsourcing services to other companies in the sector, including Anadarko, Baker Hughes, Kosmos Energy, Transocean, Technip and GNPC. In addition to Tullow Ghana Limited, we have also worked and continue to work with some of the major players in the sector. We are proud to be associated with the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the discovery of oil in Ghana and look forward to continuing to be a leading service provider to the sector.
