Enpro Subsea

September 18, 2026

Challenges

Enpro Subsea’s work in Ghana depends on the ability to deploy highly specialized subsea engineers and technical personnel to support offshore operators with Flow Access Module installations, flow intervention campaigns, and decommissioning projects. Mobilizing this technical expertise into Ghana legally and efficiently is a complex undertaking, requiring strict, multi-layered coordination with government bodies to secure work permits, entry visas, and non-citizen registrations. Any structural delay directly threatens tightly scheduled offshore campaign windows and can hold up the deployment of specialist engineers to critical subsea projects.

Beyond initial entry logistics, Enpro Subsea’s leadership required absolute assurance that once technical specialists were active on the ground, payroll administration and statutory tax obligations were managed flawlessly. Operating within Ghana’s heavily regulated oil and gas sector carries intense financial and legal risk, and any unnoticed compliance gap or shift in local labour law exposes the company to regulatory exposure, fines, and reputational risk with the operators it serves.

Managing immigration, payroll, and tax compliance internally, without an established in-country presence, would have diverted Enpro Subsea’s technical management team away from engineering delivery and toward administrative processes it was not resourced to handle alone.

Solutions

Kharis Global Group partnered with Enpro Subsea as its trusted in-country workforce solutions provider in Ghana, delivering integrated support across expatriate immigration, payroll administration, and tax compliance for its engineering personnel.

We managed the complete immigration lifecycle for Enpro Subsea’s expatriate engineers, overseeing the processing of work permits, residence permits, entry visas, and non-citizen registrations. Our team provided proactive guidance from pre-arrival planning through permit renewals, ensuring specialist personnel could mobilize quickly and support offshore campaigns without unnecessary regulatory interruptions.

Alongside workforce mobility, Kharis Global Group administered accurate and compliant payroll for Enpro Subsea’s expatriate employees. We ensured salaries, statutory deductions, and other employment obligations were processed correctly and on schedule, delivering a seamless payroll experience while maintaining full alignment with Ghana’s labour and payroll regulations.

To further strengthen operational compliance, we assumed responsibility for managing Enpro Subsea’s employment-related tax and statutory obligations. Our team ensured continuous compliance with the requirements of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and other relevant regulatory institutions, reducing legal and financial risk while relieving Enpro Subsea’s management team of complex administrative responsibilities.

Through this fully integrated approach, Kharis Global Group provided Enpro Subsea with a dependable, compliant, and scalable solution for managing its expatriate workforce in Ghana, enabling the company to maintain operational continuity and deploy specialist technical talent with confidence.

Results

Through its partnership with Kharis Global Group, Enpro Subsea achieved a more efficient and reliable approach to managing its expatriate workforce in Ghana, ensuring that specialist subsea engineers can be deployed into the country smoothly and without unnecessary administrative delays.

With Kharis Global Group managing expatriate workforce administration, Enpro Subsea benefits from consistent payroll execution, accurate statutory compliance, and ongoing regulatory support in line with Ghanaian requirements, giving leadership greater confidence in the company’s compliance position while reducing exposure to legal, financial, and operational risk.

The partnership also provides Enpro Subsea’s expatriate engineers with a dependable local support structure for immigration matters and permit renewals throughout their assignments, ensuring personnel remain supported while the organization maintains full control over its workforce operations.

Ultimately, Kharis Global Group enables Enpro Subsea to remain focused on delivering complex subsea engineering projects for its offshore operator clients, while we manage the regulatory, administrative, and compliance complexities required to support a successful expatriate workforce deployment in Ghana.
