Workforce planning
Competence, tickets and compliance: checked before site, not on site
Missing tickets and unchecked paperwork cause delays on day one. Checking early keeps starts on track.
NE Project Solutions Insights
The challenge we see
Energy and infrastructure sites have strict entry requirements. Depending on the site, these can include right to work, trade qualifications, safety tickets, medicals, inductions and security vetting. Each site sets its own rules, and the rules change between sectors and clients.
What tends to go wrong
Checks are left until the last moment, or done by more than one party with no single view of the result. A ticket is out of date, a medical has expired, or a certificate is not what the site needs. The person cannot start, and the day is lost. On a tight programme, that one gap can cost a crew or a shift. It also causes friction between contractor, client and supplier over who should have caught it.
How NEPS can support
We check right to work and references, and verify trade qualifications and tickets, before anyone is put forward for site. We work to your site’s own vetting, induction and security requirements, and we keep one named point of contact so that questions go to one person.
This applies whether you are using us for a managed commissioning scope as a subcontractor or for individual commissioning, E&I, C&I and mechanical people. If you can send us your site requirements at the start, we can build the checks around them from the first shortlist. Our target is a shortlist soon after a clear brief. It is not a guarantee.
