The majority of new recruits abroad in 2013 were for the Engineering & Construction sector (up 3,872) due to the increase in local and expatriate resources needed to support ongoing construction projects (in Mexico, Canada, Australia, the Arabian Peninsula and Northwest Africa), prefabrication activities in Brazil and to a lesser extent engineering centers in India and Nigeria.
The increase in the E&P sector (up 848 persons) can be attributed to the increase in manpower in the developing Countries (Angola, Mozambique, Indonesia, Norway, Kazakhstan) and Countries with operations activities (Iraq, Libya, USA), the opening of new exploration branches (Cyprus, Vietnam and Kenya), the acquisition of Eni engineering from Saipem (approximately 120 persons) and the sale of assets in Russia.
In 2013 the company Versalis International was founded, which incorporated the companies PE Benelux and PE Iberica and the non-consolidated companies PE Polska, Norden and PE Hellas; this resulted in a slight increase in the sector (31 persons).
The G&P sector showed a decrease (-290 persons), due almost entirely to the deconsolidation of the Argentine company Distribuidora de Gas Cuyana.
In total, there are 3,955 Italian expatriates working abroad in the consolidated companies. The number of local overseas employees has increased compared to 2012 (+8.7%). The main category involved is workers (+15%); there has also been an increase in the number of white collar employees (+4.3%) and managers/supervisors (+5.3%); the number of directors and senior managers has slightly decreased.
