Drilling waste management provider TWMA has appointed Andy Porter as HR director (HRD).

He joins with over 30 years of operational and strategic HR experience across a number of industries including oil & gas, telecommunications and professional services across the UK and Ireland.Porter says: “There is no single or simple solution for overcoming the skills shortage that the energy industry is facing, although I believe looking outwith the traditional hunting grounds is a route that is being increasingly recognised by those working in the energy sector.

“Looking to our junior staff is also an important part of the equation, to develop their skills and equip them for more senior roles, rather than automatically searching for external candidates with related experience.”
