SUN Oil Hosts Inaugural Job Fair On Provo

Focal Holdings Limited, operators of SUN Oil, staged its inaugural job fair at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex in Providenciales over two days, Wednesday and Thursday, February 18 and 19 respectively, signaling continued corporate growth and a commitment to developing local talent.

Group HR Manager Esaura Cumberbatch said the two-day recruitment initiative marks the first of what is expected to become a recurring event for the company.

“This is our inaugural event, the first time that we’re doing this. But it’s something that we’re going to be doing again in the future,” Cumberbatch explained. “The company is growing, and with so many initiatives and projects happening in Turks and Caicos, this creates an opportunity for us to build capacity within the company and tap into the talent that we have locally.”

Wide Range of Career Opportunities

The company is recruiting for several positions, including administrators, maintenance technicians, commercial drivers, dispatchers, an operations coordinator, and general laborers with opportunities for training and career growth.

Cumberbatch emphasized that the recruitment drive goes beyond simply filling current vacancies.

“We’re not just looking at this opportunity to say that we need to fill roles,” she said. “We’re also building our pipeline. As opportunities arise, we want to have qualified individuals we can reach out to immediately instead of starting the recruitment process from scratch. I like to call it building your bench.”

She added that the company is particularly interested in individuals who are willing to learn and grow within the organization, noting that entry-level roles can evolve into long-term career paths.

Encouraging Turnout

Organizers described the first day of the job fair as encouraging, with a steady stream of applicants throughout the morning.

“So far, it’s been really good,” Cumberbatch said. “We’ve met a lot of really intelligent and skilled individuals, particularly younger persons who are looking for new opportunities. The candidates have been very eager and very energetic.”

The event is structured to allow applicants to engage directly with company representatives, submit résumés, and learn more about the expectations and growth potential within each role.

Cumberbatch also highlighted the work of Sun Oil Limited, a subsidiary of Focal Holdings Limited. The company operates as a Shell licensee in Nassau, Bahamas, and in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and is a leading provider of quality LPG petroleum products and services in the region.

With development continuing across the Turks and Caicos Islands, company says investing in human capital is essential to sustaining operational excellence and meeting growing demand.

The decision to run the job fair over two days, was to give residents another opportunity to explore employment possibilities and submit applications. Cumberbatch noted that the initiative reflects a long-term commitment to strengthening both the organization and the local workforce.
