Offshore Energy · Subsea · Offshore Wind · Data Centre Infrastructure
A premium workforce network for offshore energy and critical infrastructure — for clients who need projects staffed properly, and senior contractors who want more than the next mobilisation.
“This is the business I wish I’d had. So I built it.”
— Ross Ellingham, Founder & CEO
A capped network of senior offshore contractors. Members are notified first on every role, earn referral income, and get a direct line to the founder.
Most agencies grow by accumulating CVs. Novara grows by accumulating relationships. Onboarding is founder-led, members are placed repeatedly, and represented into the long-term.
Members are numbered, named, and onboarded directly. The number stays with you as the network grows. Whatever you are in 2026, that's still your number in 2031 — with first call on the work that comes through the door.
Fifteen years in specialist technical recruitment, with offshore the recurring thread — building marine recruitment desks across APAC, launching subsea verticals, and most recently leading offshore contractor portfolios. Mobilised contractors into twenty countries across four continents.
Fifteen years of senior executive search across Asia — the last decade in Hong Kong. At Novara, leads group-level strategy, governance, and APAC expansion. Bilingual English / Mandarin. Cross-border reach across the region.
Direct line to the founder. Inbox checked daily. Real response, not an automated holding email.
