Airswift, the global workforce solutions provider for the energy, process and infrastructure sectors, has formed a joint venture with global energy consultancy, EPI Group. The agreement combines the capabilities of both companies to create a formidable portfolio of renewable energy services, within the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

Building on a six-year partnership, the collaboration will offer the market a unique combination of end-to-end services across the project lifecycle.

Airswift will provide managed services expertise, recruitment and mobilisation of multi-discipline teams, complemented by EPI Group’s specialist technical and environmental capabilities across project development, construction and monitoring, to ensure successful operations for developers in offshore wind, solar and geothermal.

With the energy transition accelerating, Charles Pfauwadel, VP Asia at Airswift, commented that APAC is looking to generate over half of the world’s electricity by 2030.

“We’re already seeing a lot of movement in the region, for example, the growth of offshore wind in Vietnam and Taiwan. Our partnership enables us to provide a greater range of services across APAC, allowing companies to navigate different jurisdictions and regulations easily,” he shared.

Ben Dyton, VP Asia-Pacific at EPI Group said that the company is excited to continue its journey with Airswift, strengthening the services they already offer.

“With over 20 operational locations across the APAC region alone, Airswift’s truly global approach and reach is unparalleled. We share a passion for excellence and, above all, have an outstanding reputation for safety, compliance, integrity, and quality – it is a perfect fit which will bring great benefit to our clients,” Mr Dyton said.

EPI Group has several local employees focused on this joint venture who will be based out of Airswift’s Kuala Lumpur office.
