Industry-leading security specialist successfully deploys 50+ engineers for a multi-site project with non-negotiable deadlines
Through a partnership with Technical Resources, the company was able to deliver its electronic security installation contract for a large-scale global event.
A security services provider was tasked with the security installation for a global event spread across 18 sites. The company has built a reputation of impeccable service and dependability over its 30-year history. For this project, that reputation would be put to the test.
Meeting strict timelines in complex logistical environments
The fixed schedule meant that speed, scale, and reliability were high on the agenda. Talent had to be identified in advance and contingencies put in place for the unexpected.
To help make sure that all possibilities are accounted for, the company partnered with Technical Resources.
Be ready for anything with a flexible end-to-end solution
Our team has developed tailored recruitment solutions for different hiring needs such as finding and vetting professionals within strict timelines.
To support the company’s requirements, we implemented the following:
- Pipeline planning: Operatives were identified and ring-fenced ahead of the project start date. This included Project Managers, Site Supervisors, and Engineers.
- Single point of contact: Our compliance team handled all background and compliance checks, and requests for certification information. All this was collected in advance to allow the company to focus on project delivery.
- Workforce management: Since speed was a challenge, we liaised directly with on-site project managers to identify, allocate, and deploy resources across multiple locations. Technical Resources managed all communications with engineers, keeping them engaged in the project leading up to the start date.
- Contingency measures: A team of engineers was put on standby to fill in gaps in case of illness or emergency.
At one point, the start dates of some resources had to be moved. Through our flexible recruitment solution, the affected engineers were redeployed to the company’s other projects. When the original project was back on track, the company was still able to engage the engineers they needed between the installation and decommissioning period.
As a result, the company avoided benched resources that could have led to thousands of pounds in unnecessary costs, while also delivering the project on time and on budget.
