Meet Adam Eager, Marine Senior Consultant, ABL New Zealand.
The team at ABL Group shares the passion, vision and values for working in energy and the world’s oceans, de-risking and driving the energy transition. We are driven by the idea that the best work is born from professionalism, diligence… and fun. You know ABL Group, but do you know our team?
What does your day-to-day look like at ABL?
“As a newly established office, we are researching opportunities and meeting potential clients. Promoting ABL in a new market is busy and exciting.”
What inspired you to join your industry?
From a young age, I was drawn to the idea of travel and adventure, and at 18, I decided to turn that passion into reality by going to sea. That decision is what shaped my career and paved the way for my journey to the maritime industry
Can you tell us about something exciting you are working on right now?
I live in Taranaki, which is at the heart of New Zealand’s Oil & Gas industry and the region is actively working though its own transition to a renewable energy future.
It is exciting to be part of a community that is actively looking to resolve the energy challenges of the future, while managing the legacy of the past. With ABL we have chance to make a difference, be part of something bigger, supporting the energy transition and build a resilient and sustainable future.
What does the future look like in energy and oceans in New Zealand?
“The future looks very promising. New Zealand already has a high percentage of its power generation from renewable resources and has the potential to tap into so much more, both on and offshore.
The Southern Ocean is a vast underutilised energy resource”
What do you enjoy most about working as part of the ABL Group team in New Zealand?
We are a small team with big aspirations. I enjoy working on big picture thinking with a Lord of the rings back drop😄
