Umbrella Payroll Energy Contractors Can Trust

Working in the energy sector requires a high level of expertise. Whether you excel in drilling operations, rigging, or pipeline engineering, you have the skills to navigate this complex field.

At Parasol, we know the importance of your work. Our goal is to ensure you get paid quickly and compliantly, by a team that knows your industry inside out.

1How do I get into the energy industry?
If you're drawn to a career within the energy and power industry, you're likely eager to kickstart your journey. While there are various pathways to embark upon, you'll typically discover that a combination of skills, knowledge, and experience is essential to land the ideal role. Here are some avenues to consider when getting started:

  1. Education: Some technical positions in this sector demand a degree in fields such as mathematics, engineering, physics, or chemistry. Alternatively, acquiring a trade (i.e. Welder, Rigger) can also be a route. 
  2. Training: Numerous prominent energy companies offer training programs like graduate schemes and internships. These opportunities can serve as excellent initial steps into the industry.
  3. Experience: Working in a role related to your career aspirations can allow you to acquire new skills and receive on-the-job training along the way.
  4. Networking: Establishing connections within the industry can be immensely beneficial. Building your professional network and connecting with the right individuals can elevate your profile. Whether it involves engaging in forums, attending conventions, or participating in expos. Make an effort to network with as many people as possible.
2What is life like in the energy sector?

The energy sector is expansive, encompassing a wide range of domains, career and expertise. Broadly speaking, it encompasses the production of electricity from various sources, including fossil fuels like oil and gas, and nuclear energy, as well as renewable sources such as wind and solar power.

This concept can be broadly categorised into three interconnected domains: power generation, transmission and distribution, and sales and metering. Within each of these domains, there exists a multitude of energy-related enterprises, markets, and employment opportunities.

For some, working in the energy sector can mean working ‘two weeks on, two weeks off’ on an oil rig. For those living near an oil refinery, nuclear plan, etc, it can mean Monday-Friday 9-5, depending on your profession.

3Why do I need an Umbrella company?

An umbrella company is a hassle-free way to get paid. For some energy sector workers, it’s a requirement set by a recruitment agency or end-hirer to start a contract, for many others it’s their preferred way of working.

Umbrella companies will take tax and other deductions automatically from your pay. You’ll become employed by the umbrella company (similar to a traditional employee) which means your NI, tax and other deductions are paid correctly and on time. Keeping you on the right side of HMRC. That’s not all, you’ll get all the statutory benefits associated with traditional employment. This includes annual leave, maternity and paternity pay, sick pay and several other statutory benefits.

You’ll get peace of mind with mortgage applications, loans and other financial commitments. Continuous employment means you can work on several assignments at the same time - or one after another - and stay with the same umbrella company. This gives you continuous employment.

4How to choose the right umbrella company for me?
You want to make sure the umbrella company is compliant, secure and trusted. This is why with Parasol you’ll stay on the right side of HMRC, ensure best-in-class cyber security and we have a 4.6* rating out of 5 on Trustpilot. We’re an umbrella company you can trust. Read on...
