CHALLENGE
Cummins is a global power technology leader with a proven track record in mission-critical projects and a trusted partner within the data centre ecosystem. With approximately 75,000 employees across 190 different countries, Cummins has one of the largest global presences in the power generation space.
Since 2022, Pangea has provided Cummins with crucial talent across its data centre business, deploying over 45+ highly skilled contractors across numerous EU generator installation and commissioning projects.
Despite Cummins’ extensive global presence and reputation, hiring contractors across ever-evolving market complexities remains challenging. The demand for specific skills, alongside key candidate considerations such as relocation, international payroll and compliance requirements across diverse European regions, creates a substantial hurdle for timely project execution and operational continuity. Pangea’s consultative approach, local market knowledge and global talent network allow us to address such eventualities with solutions and engagement models that exceed expectations.
SOLUTION
"Partnering with Pangea has been a game changer for our data centre projects across Europe. We needed a partner who could not only find the highly specialised talent we require but could also handle the logistics of international recruitment, from relocation to payroll and compliance. Pangea’s team has consistently delivered, providing us with project-ready, high-quality contractors, often with an incredibly rapid turnaround. Their Project Services solution has streamlined our operations, allowing us to focus on what we do best while knowing that our talent needs are in expert hands. We consider Pangea a crucial partner in our continued success."
EMEA Director, Cummins
