Personnel

When adding personnel groups to a case, you can configure a variety of parameters — including whether the personnel are full-time or subcontracted, how many personnel are in the group, and what skills they have.

A personnel group defines a set of workers — including their type, availability, skills, and cost — that can be assigned to tasks in a case. This page covers all parameters available on personnel groups in Design Construction and Design O&M.

Personnel parameters

Parameter	Description
Group type	Whether personnel are full-time employees or subcontractors. If you select `Subcontractors`, the `Unlimited` parameter becomes available. If you select `Full time employees`, the `Availability` parameter becomes available. See the Subcontractors and personnel utilization section for a note on the personnel utilization output when using subcontractors.
Unlimited	Whether the number of available personnel within the group is fixed or unlimited. If you select `Unlimited`, the `Members` parameter is no longer available.
Members	The number of personnel within the group.
Home base	The location where daily operations begin. This can be a port, offshore base, or Service Operation Vessel (SOV).
Availability	Whether the personnel are available all year, seasonally (between fixed dates), or only on certain weekdays.
Season	Note: O&M only. Only available when you enable a campaign on the personnel page. Whether the personnel are available inside or outside of the campaign dates.
Work hours	Whether work hours are fixed or staggered. Fixed: All personnel start and finish work at the same time. Staggered: Define the start time of the first shift, the shift length, the interval between shift start times, and the number of shifts per day. Shoreline calculates a staggered shift schedule based on these inputs and the number of personnel in the group.
Skills	Select which skills the personnel group have. Required skills are set on WTG commissioning tasks (Design Construction) and scheduled and corrective maintenance tasks (Design O&M).
Allowed transport	The logistics types (for example, vessel or helicopter) that are permitted to transport this personnel group.
Hourly salary	For full-time personnel: The annual salary per person. The annual salary is converted into a daily salary by dividing by 365.25 (accounting for leap years). The daily salary cost is then accrued for every day a member of the group is available. For subcontractors: The hourly salary per person.
