Independent utility network provider finds highly qualified engineers for large-scale multi-site new builds within one week

Independent utility network provider finds highly qualified engineers for large-scale multi-site new builds within one week 

Technical Resources partnered with the company’s internal talent team to deliver on urgent hiring needs. 


An independent utility network provider had taken on a 5-year, multi-site project for brand-new builds.

The company is one of the leaders in Fiber and Cabling in the UK. However, the project’s scale made it clear that their internal labour alone was not enough to fulfil their requirements. They needed support to find additional talent fast.


Securing qualified talent within urgent timelines

Since the company was already under time constraints, they had to find contractors who not only had the skillset they needed but were also able to start as soon as possible. With that in mind, Technical Resources offered to take on the company’s full requirements.


Leverage data to quickly make informed hiring decisions

We utilised our extensive database to look for qualified engineers that had documented feedback from previous contract work. We then referenced each engineer’s experience and qualifications with the job’s exact specifications.


Working alongside the company’s internal team, we developed a unique candidate rating system that allowed us to quickly filter the best engineers for their respective roles.


Over the course of a week, Technical Resources delivered 10 engineers to meet the initial requirements. The fast turnaround allowed the company to save on time and costs, resulting in 9 further requests for engineering talent across various other locations.


Once the contractors were secured, we also advised the company to take the engineers on for the full scope of work. This helped to reassure both parties of a long-term working relationship and cemented their commitment.

Recruitment or Mud Run? The Technical Resources Tough Mudder Challenge for Centrepoint What do recruitment and mud have in common? More than many realise! Last weekend, the Technical Resources team traded keyboards for muddy trainers and took on the infamous Tough Mudder course, all to help raise vital funds for Centrepoint the UK’s lead charity supporting homeless young people. Between scaling walls, navigating tricky obstacles, and braving freezing mud pits, Our teamwork and determination stood out, whether we were securing top talent or supporting each other through challenges. The same spirit of resilience that defines us in technical recruitment carried us across the Tough Mudder finish line, too. Why Centrepoint? Why Now? Centrepoint is a vital charity providing homeless young people with safe accommodation, mental and physical health support, and essential life and work skills. Their aim is to help young people gain the confidence and tools to live independently. Every pound raised by teams like ours helps secure a brighter, safer future for the vulnerable youth Centrepoint supports. Our Muddy Mission This year, we have set a fundraising target of £3,000 for Centrepoint. All donations are important and appreciated. If you wish to support Centrepoint’s work, donations of any size directly contribute to improving the lives of young people. Our fundraising efforts are ongoing, helping provide opportunities and support to thousands of vulnerable young individuals. A Final Word from the Team Tough Mudder reminded us that the best achievements happen when we rally together whether overcoming obstacles in recruitment, in the mud, or in life. Challenges are easier with a team behind you, and for Centrepoint’s young people, support makes all the difference. We thank everyone who has supported and donated. With collective effort, progress continues towards ending youth homelessness.
