Vedior is pleased to announce that it has acquired Think Resources,a provider of engineering and technical professionals in the US.
Based in Norcross, Georgia, Think specialises in the supply of temporary personnel and permanent placement primarily in the petrochemical, power generation and engineering sectors.

The US market for engineering and project services in the power, energy and heavy industrial sectors is growing and increasing skills shortages are anticipated. In 2005, the US Congress passed the Energy Policy Act in order to address supply problems and long standing under-investment within the energy sector. The Department of Labor projects that jobs requiring science, engineering and technical training will increase 51% from 1998 to 2008 and current data indicates that this growth is occurring.

Zach Miles, pictured, Vedior¹s chief executive said: "The energy industry has faced two decades of boom and bust which have led to some of the industry's best prospects finding work in more stable sectors. Some energy analysts predict that their industry is in danger of running out of employees faster than it runs out of oil or gas. Think has a leading presence in what is now a very high demand sector and we look forward to supporting them as they grow their business."
