“We get young engineers coming in who are excited about the field,” Sebastian says. “They gain real marine construction experience here, which opens the door to long-term experience with us.” As expansion continues, job creation follows—not only within Capital Signal’s workforce but also in the local economies where projects take place.

Capital Signal is closely monitoring Guyana and Jamaica, leadership aims to position equipment strategically throughout the Caribbean, reducing mobilization time and expanding project opportunities. Human capital remains equally important.
