TotalEnergies Suriname unveiled EnergyJobs.sr on 25th November at the Assuria Event Center in Paramaribo, presenting the platform as a unified channel for Surinamese workers seeking opportunities in the country’s expanding oil and gas market.
The launch brought together senior officials and industry representatives, including Oil, Gas & Environment Minister Patrick Brunings, Education, Science & Culture Minister Dirk Currie, and leadership from Staatsolie and private-sector partners. A panel addressing future talent requirements followed the announcement.
According to Artur Nunes da Silva, General Manager of TotalEnergies EP Suriname, the platform is intended to improve access to job information for both employers and applicants. At launch, 437 roles were listed, comprising 244 onshore positions and the remainder offshore. Of these, 142 vacancies were open for immediate applications.
The portal is closely linked to the company’s planned GranMorgu development in Block 58, and openings tied to the project and contractor hiring will be added as recruitment moves forward.
During a demonstration of the system, Hercules Medeiros, Field Operations Manager at TEEPSR, noted that EnergyJobs.sr does not store personal CVs. Instead, users review job requirements and then move directly to each company’s application site. Short tutorials are included to help both candidates and companies navigate the process.
Medeiros highlighted that the interface was built to keep job searches and applications straightforward for those exploring roles in the energy sector.
The launch represents an early coordinated step to bring together workforce information as Suriname prepares for major offshore activity.
