Testimonials
“I’m currently working in Bangladesh as a Health & Safety Coordination for International Snubbing Services (A USA-based company) on a Chevron Oil & Gas project that started back in October 2021. Our company is currently allowing NESL to handle all of our Work visas, In-country transportation arrangements, Hotel bookings, Medical emergencies & expenses, Payment of salaries, and the Payment of taxes to the Bangladesh government on behalf of approximately 34 rotational expatriates every month. Thus far, NESL representative Mr. Md. Nur-A-Alam – DGM (Operations) and Ms. Tasnuva Monowar – Senior Executive (Medical & Admin) have been instrumental in making my job responsibilities much easier to manage through their work ethics, efficiency, and dedication to their job. I’m pleased to be working with a top-tier organization like NESL and their dedicated staff who models integrity through their work”
“I consider NESL one of the top ranked agents (employers) I’ve ever worked. Frankly, that was observed from day one even before securing the job with client, which is Chevron Bangladesh. They always select the best, satisfying, and favorable choices on behalf of the employees. I didn’t remember any time I’ve faced an issue, without getting it resolved properly. Also, management is very responsive to emails, calls, discussions, and any other requests. With them you had not to worry about anything such as work permits, visas, salary, or other logistics, all are done on time. I would never hesitate to recommend NESL as one of the best recruiting firms for both employees and high-class clients”
“I had the pleasure of working for NESL for seven years and must say they provided world class services in regards to the many coordination requirements to mobilize an ex pat to work in Bangladesh. They were always punctual in reference to my many inquires in support of wage logistics, as well as proper tax compliance regulations . My yearly work permits and visa was delivered on time on a yearly base in order to ensure alignment with the Bangladesh government processes. Travel logistics were always coordinated to ensure cost integrity without jeopardizing safety. I would highly recommend NESL to support any business needs associated with Bangladesh. Please feel free to contact me in regards to any future references in support of NESL.”
“I am a contract drilling engineer who worked through NESL for Chevron in Bangladesh from 2011 to mid-year 2015. This covered 4-1/2 year work assignment. I entered the country in January of 2011 and was met at the airport by an NESL representative to assist me with my initial entry. The primary visa was processed and I had my work visa within 4 days. I have worked in 16 other countries and never had such a smooth reception and support. As the work went forward I had one on one contact with billing and administrative personnel. The NESL staff was ahead of me in reminding me to send in timesheets and expenses. Monthly payment was received never more than 3 days from filing my invoice. Most projects I have worked in during international work I would not receive payment until 30-day plus after invoice I had a medical issue while working and NESL was quick to respond and ever helpful to resolve all billings associated. My experience with NESL in Bangladesh makes me comfortable to work with them in any country they may be in the future. I am extremely pleased with working through NESL and would be glad to work again if the opportunity occurred. I can be contacted at morriskyle@hotmail.com f any specific questions are necessary.”
“Can advise that NESL has always been good employer and been efficient and responsive to my needs on visa, salary and bank deposits. Very professional office. If l return to work in Bangladesh the l would definitely use NESL as my agent/employer.”
“As a Construction Supervisor for “unoc1″, a US based oil company, I used NESL to employee several worldwide contractors in the country of Bangladesh from 2005 to 2007 for various construction projects. To my knowledge all contractor salaries were always paid in a timely manner with no issue. From 2007 until 2010 as a Gas Plant Superintendent and Construction Manager for “Chevron” in the country of Bangladesh I used NESL to employee worldwide contractors as well as Bangladeshi contractors. There were never any issues or complaints about salaries being paid in a fair and timely manner. I was employed by NESL in 2011 and 2012 as a Construction Representative for Chevron In Bangladesh. I always receive my compensation on time. NESL always available to assist me with any issues including work, VISAs and taxes. Based on my eight years of experience with NE5L, from 2005 through 2012, I can certainly recommend them as one of the best in the business. Always available to assist both the client and the employee with any issue that may arise. I worked 39 years for Unocal and Chevron and can honestly say that NESL was one of the best contracting firms that I had the pleasure of working with.”
“During my tenure at NESL, the company was very efficient in obtaining work permits, salary payment and supporting their people. I never had to worry about work permits or receiving my salary. All was done on time. NESL was always available; either by email, phone call or in person, for support issues. I would never be hesitate in working for NESL.”
“Yes, I am honored that you ask for my comments on NESL. I worked for Chevron Bangladesh for over 7 years and 4 years contracting through NESL.I hold NESL in very high regard as one of the better contract agency that I have worked for in my 25 year Engineering career. NESL operated very efficiently and agency staff were always extremely polite. NESL correctly paid my salary on time, proactively updated my visas and work permits, and dealt with legal compliance with Bangladeshi foreign worker employment regulations. I never had any problems with NESL in 4 years that I worked for you. Thank you for your excellent service.”
