Altea Energy Review

Vertically Integrated Energy EOR — Talent as a Service

Altea Energy's service model — internally described as "Talent as a Service" (TaaS) — integrates six operational capabilities that general EOR platforms separate across multiple vendors. (1) Technical expert sourcing: headhunting, CV matching, 3-profile shortlist delivery from a 50,000+ consultant network; success-fee model (no upfront cost until candidate is approved). (2) EOR employment: legal employer on record for deployed consultants, employment contracts per local law in the deployment jurisdiction. (3) Payroll and tax management: gross-to-net calculations, statutory deductions, multi-currency payment via SAP Data Services, accelerated payment ahead of industry average. (4) Visa and work permit processing: end-to-end immigration management including in-situ renewal (specifically praised by Algeria-based consultants). (5) Travel logistics: flight bookings, accommodation coordination, last-minute itinerary changes managed at no additional friction to the client. (6) QHSE support: ISO 45001-certified occupational health and safety management for consultants on high-risk sites; QUALIANOR radioprotection for nuclear deployments. The Rainpower Norway/Mozambique case study documents all six capabilities deployed over a 4-year hydroelectric project.

Africa-First Compliance Depth — Algeria and Mozambique

Altea Energy's most commercially differentiated compliance geography is Africa — specifically Algeria and Mozambique, where the company has maintained multi-year project infrastructure. Algeria: Sonatrach-dominated hydrocarbons sector with complex expatriate work permit quota management, DAS (retirement) / ANR (disability) / IRG (income tax) / CNAS (social insurance) statutory contribution management, and stringent local content requirements; the Algiers office and sustained 17-year Algeria project history creates institutional regulatory relationships that no global EOR SaaS platform achieves by managing Algeria remotely through a partner. Mozambique: the LNG boom has created complex EOR demand at Cabo Delgado and Inhambane where Altea maintains offices; INSS social security and IRPS income tax compliance for an expatriate-heavy LNG construction workforce is the core service delivered; the Rainpower 4-year hydroelectric project case study confirms "payrolling and local employment taxes" management from the Maputo, Paris, London, and Dubai offices simultaneously. For energy operators entering Algeria or Mozambique for the first time, Altea's in-country presence eliminates the compliance uncertainty that remote EOR management creates in these high-stakes environments.

QUALIANOR Radioprotection — Nuclear Sector EOR

Altea Energy received QUALIANOR Certification for its nuclear activities in 2023 — awarded after a complete external audit implementing a specific management system to control and limit the exposure of consultants to ionizing radiation. This certification is a prerequisite for employing subcontractor personnel on nuclear power plants and facilities in France (where EDF, Framatome, and independent plant operators require subcontractors to hold QUALIANOR) and in other jurisdictions with equivalent radioprotection frameworks. For nuclear plant operators who need to deploy maintenance engineers, decommissioning specialists, or new-build project personnel through an EOR structure, Altea is the only provider in this audit series that can serve this regulatory requirement. No general EOR SaaS platform holds QUALIANOR certification.

TEAM Energy Acquisition — UK and Subsea Offshore Expansion

In January 2026, Altea Energy acquired TEAM Energy Resources Ltd — a UK-based technical staffing company founded in 1987 with 40 years of subsea offshore sector experience, Norwich and Aberdeen offices, and a consultant network spanning 40+ nationalities across 30+ countries. Post-acquisition, the combined Altea group has 5 subsidiaries and 12 offices worldwide. TEAM Energy's specialisation in the subsea sector (ROV, subsea engineering, pipeline inspection, offshore construction) complements Altea's upstream oil and gas and renewables expertise. The Aberdeen base directly supports the UK North Sea market — one of the world's largest concentrations of offshore energy investment. For UK North Sea operators and global subsea EPC contractors, the combined group provides both international deployment network and UK market depth under one relationship. Confirm the integration timeline and how UK North Sea projects will be structured through the combined group before committing to UK-specific engagements.
