Namibia represents a dynamic and fast-growing market in which Atlas Professionals is committed to developing a highly qualified local workforce, aligned with the changing needs of our clients.
What is a Greenhand?
A Greenhand is an entry-level offshore employee who demonstrates basic proficiency in performing assigned tasks as per the job description. While these candidates may not have direct offshore experience, they typically possess transferable skills, a strong work ethic, and the right attitude to adapt and perform effectively in an offshore environment.
Greenhands Offshore
Atlas Professionals identifies suitable greenhand candidates through a structured interview process and skills tests, in order to select only candidates with demonstrable potential. After selection, Atlas ensures that each greenhand successfully completes all mandatory training and certifications for offshore work.
In addition to technical preparation, Atlas places a strong emphasis on risk awareness and emergency preparedness. Greenhands are trained to recognize, assess and respond adequately to potential hazards. Through targeted safety training by the Health and Safety Manager and extensive onboarding programs, greenhands are not only prepared for their role, but also equipped to actively contribute to a safe and responsible work culture.
