Hitachi Rail
Overview
Hitachi Rail is a fully integrated, global provider of transport solutions across rolling stock, signalling, digital technology, operation, service and maintenance.
Scope & Approach
Our objective from Hitachi Rail was to provide a team of up to 25 engineers for Network Rail & TFL signalling projects.
Required disciplines included Software Engineers, Systems Engineers, IT Project Engineers and Test Engineers.
Solution
Due to the the requirements being a rare skillset, we also held several IR35 consultations to ensure all clients were compliant.
Outcome
All candidates and roles were delivered to deadline and the result was ongoing £m+ per annum contract.
Ford & Stanley, and in particular the digital team, hold expert consultants that thoroughly understand their client’s business, candidates’ aspirations and wider market dynamics.
As a result, I trust their consulting and utilising their experience beyond that of just securing great people for my business and team.
The success of our business relies on the acquisition and retention of the best technical talent in the UK and it is therefore important for us to work with one of the best recruitment partners in the UK – I believe we have found this in Ford & Stanley.’
