The client
Network Rail own, operate, maintain and develop the railway infrastructure in England, Scotland and Wales. That’s 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations.
The brief
At Veredus, we work for various divisions with Network Rail including GBRTT and GBRX. We have been asked to search for experienced project managers on a large number of occasions and they remain a key client relationship.
The projects range across operational issues, customer experience, training and human resources, procurement and health and safety.
The process
We reached out to our known, tried and tested candidates across all key functions within the rail and infrastructure sector and were quickly able to identify a shortlist of those who matched the requirements. Once we’d established enthusiasm and engagement, and discussed availability and day rates requirements, we presented the shortlist.
One of our challenges is to find candidates who are prepared to work one roles that fall inside of scope for IR35 regulation but, over time, Veredus have built a specific database of interim managers who happy to engage with umbrella companies and work inside IR35.
