Green Rebel, an offshore survey company based in Cork Harbour, has recently been named one of Ireland's top 10 emerging companies by LinkedIn. The company, which was founded in March 2021, is actively seeking Geophysical Data Processors, Data Software Engineers, and Offshore Geophysical Professionals to join its team. Green Rebel uses a fleet of vessels, buoys, and aircraft to gather data needed for offshore wind farms and undersea cable installations.
LinkedIn, a business and employment-focused social media platform, annually identifies 10 companies that are rapidly growing and recruiting top talent. The LinkedIn Top Startups 2023 list is determined using exclusive data and editorial experience of its News Europe team to identify companies that have trail-blazed their way through recent economic and workplace challenges.
The company has a team of scientists, chemists, engineers, ecologists, vessel crew, and support staff across multiple locations in Cork and Limerick. It provides offshore wind and other sectors with a comprehensive set of data services that extends from acquisition, processing, interpretations, and reporting, with its fleet of purpose-built vessels, aircraft, floating LiDAR buoys, and in-house team of scientists and industry experts.
To compile the list, LinkedIn analyses each company across the four pillars of employment growth, engagement with the company and its current employees, job interest, and attraction of top talent. Green Rebel's CEO, Kieran Ivers, expressed his delight at being recognised as one of the top 10 startups in Ireland by LinkedIn. He said, “We’ve used the platform since our inception to increase our profile, build our employer brand and attract some of Ireland’s foremost experts in the sector. Our team has vast skill and experience and is determined to deliver excellence as standard for our clients."
Ivers also acknowledged that recruitment remains a challenge in the sector. However, Green Rebel has introduced an 'Energised and Effective Teams' programme that has been pivotal in attracting and retaining top talent. The programme has introduced a 9-Day Fortnight and utilises proven time-management techniques and flexible working arrangements to support team members.
