The challenge
Marine Resources was appointed by The SMS Group, a national ship repair and marine engineering services specialist, that trades from 7 locations strategically located around the country, to specifically recruit for their varied contractor roles in both the commercial marine and defence sectors.
The recruitment challenge was to bolster their existing workforce by finding candidates capable of working across a number of their trades within UK shipyards for both commercial and defence customers. What started as a one-off requirement for niche skilled trade roles, quickly grew to an ongoing, long-standing, relationship, with new roles coming in weekly - from many locations across the country.
Results
Our team rose to the challenge by finding individuals with the relevant expertise from outside the traditional sector / resource pool, where we were able to successfully deliver previously hard-to-fill commercial shipbuilding / ship repair roles. By taking the time to build strong, trusted relationships with senior team members at The SMS Group, we are now looking to the future as we discuss new contracts for the months ahead.
