Mark Dolman has joined EnerMech in the newly created role of Global Workforce Planning & Resourcing Manager to help further drive the company’s growth objectives through the efficient allocation of talent.
Mark has more than 20 years of energy sector experience and joins EnerMech from McDermott, where he was Director of Talent Acquisition Strategy and Workforce Planning.
Raised in Yorkshire, England, Mark’s career began with the Merchant Navy in 1993, where he undertook a Marine Cadetship sponsored by Shell and qualified as a deck and engineering officer.
In 2002, he was seconded to Shell Brunei in an onshore human resources position to support a global succession planning project. There, he led a major training program to help local Bruneians transition into seafaring roles previously held by expatriate workers aboard the government’s LNG vessels. As a result of his work, he received recognition from the Sultan of Brunei. His success led to a recruitment and training position with Chevron Shipping, working across the UK, U.S., India, and the Philippines.
Mark relocated to the Middle East in 2008 and held senior HR recruitment roles with both Qatar and Abu Dhabi’s national oil companies. While at ADNOC, he was selected to join its Project Management Office, where he devised and implemented talent acquisition initiatives across the Group.
In his new role at EnerMech, Mark will be based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Working closely with regional teams, his key priority will be to define all critical talent needs to enhance the business’s already robust talent pool and meet customer expectations. This will involve detailed planning across geographies, business lines, and skill sets, including essential global mobility, tax, and visa compliance.
Mark, who reports directly to EnerMech’s Chief HR Officer, Phil Ogden, will also serve as the focal point for the company’s strategic resourcing centers, including the Philippines. In the coming months, he will also oversee the implementation of new, fit-for-purpose workforce planning and recruitment systems and tools designed to simplify processes and enhance consistency and transparency across the organization.
