Industry-leading security specialist successfully deploys 50+ engineers for a multi-site project with non-negotiable deadlines

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.

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.
