Client testimonials
Case study_
Nuon Magnum Netherlands
It’s a huge compliment when your business is referred for a new project, even more so when it’s an international referral for a new build 1200MW CCGT power station for Nuon Magnum in The Netherlands.
The site in Eemshaven was part way through construction and the EPC contractor, Mitsubishi Corporation, invited Managing Director Terry Buckel to meet the Japanese procurement team on site where they agreed terms, discussed the various opportunities available and the challenges they’d experienced when recruiting people.
With a wealth of experience to support him, Terry accepted the challenge head on and focused on combatting the biggest single barrier: Dutch labour laws made it very difficult for UK limited company contractors from working and enjoying their usual entitlements.
Case study_
Carrington CCGT Power Station
In the space of five months Astute had completed the bulk of the work on time. The team worked closely with the Senior Management team to overcome issues surrounding a few positions where the skills gap had a significant effect on the ability to meet deadlines, but through collaboration with the client Astute had worked hard to overcome the issue whilst sticking within budget.
As well as supervising the full life-cycle management of the recruitment process Astute continued to deliver: a further Project Engineer, Inventory Controller and Asset Manager were placed.
The station is now successfully up and running and in full operation mode.
