You can now give Xpert Opinions a Nudge!

Xpert Opinions, the Aberdeen-based community of engineering consultants has entered into a new joint venture with start-up people tech company Nudge. his will provide their clients and energy talent with a collaborative community where technical challenges can be shared and solved, and individuals can also source their next project.

Nudge have developed an online platform for the energy workforce which helps them digitally connect with the right business at the right time. It uses the right blend of artificial and real intelligence to provide companies with capable talent who meet the requirements of specific projects and gives the talent information on work opportunities which match their skills.

Nudge has recently undertaken the OGTC TechX accelerator programme which supports start-ups with potentially game-changing technologies for the UK energy sector.
Similarly, Xpert Opinions has also developed a formative technical discussion forum through which members are able to access moderated content, peer reviewed technical articles and post questions on specific engineering matters. Members of the forum are also able to access the community of engineering consultants.

Xpert Opinions consultants are typically subject matter experts in their respective engineering disciplines. Many are members of a professional engineering institute, either at chartered or fellow status. The community aims to be balanced, yet comprehensive and multi-disciplined, typical of an engineering function or team.

The collaboration between the two companies is intended to allow platform users to source technical content, post questions and engage with industry experts but also commission and undertake work.   

Darren Nicol, founder of Nudge, said: “This is a true win-win opportunity. It’s a partnership that was born from two very similar concepts, which was to build a collaborative platform for a community of energy sector talent. Xpert Opinions has focused on building an impressive panel of technical experts and developing technical content accessible to the members of the platform. Nudge has focused on developing the technology that can source opportunities and match talent as efficiently as possible. By combining the two we can provide an offering that is greater than the sum the parts, which is an energy sector talent platform that not only connects individuals with projects but also provides peer to peer support and guidance. This is something everyone wants; a sense of belonging for like-minded individuals”.
