The UK shipbuilding market is exciting, buoyant, and fast-paced. With the added boost in March this year of the injection of £4BN from the UK government, there is a real sense of optimism and growth in the shipbuilding market. With any project, however, there are always tight deadlines and budgets to adhere to. These rely on the right staff to meet them. In the maritime sector, there are also large volumes of tradespeople with multiple skills that could be required all at once. So how do you ensure that your shipbuilding project has the right people behind it?

A network of tradespeople

SLR has spent time building a broad network of qualified tradespeople that enable our clients to deliver their projects on time and within budget. We know from experience our clients often have very little warning themselves on the requirement for staff and they expect us to react quickly to the demands they are facing.

We have specialised in the marine sector because we truly believe that only a recruiter with an innate understanding of the demands of the shipbuilding sector is able to meet the needs of our clients.

At SLR Marine Recruit we think it’s so important to be transparent and fair. It defines who we are as a company and gives you a measure of the warm, friendly people who make up our team. Our clients are extremely important to us and that is why whatever is discussed and committed to over the phone is formalised in writing. We don’t just send you a bank of CVs, we offer a fully managed service for all permanent roles. This support happens right from the start when we help clients to define their brief and create a spec that will attract the right talent. We then identify the right candidate and connect you so that both parties have their needs met quickly.
