Morgan Cass - Mechanical Contracts Manager role

Streamlined recruitment for Mechanical Contracts Manager for new project

Vincent Gurney’s focus on quality of service mirrors that of Morgan Cass, which led to a natural synergy in early conversations between the two businesses. Account Manager at Vincent Gurney, Lewis Chapman, took a brief from the project’s Senior Contracts Manager to get a full understanding of the requirements of the job and the ideal type of candidate required. He put together a comprehensive job spec and began his search.

At Vincent Gurney we are specialists in the mechanical and electrical recruitment space which means we have in-depth knowledge of the types of roles on offer, the requirements, and what makes a candidate the right fit. In this case we recommended a few highly skilled candidates with the right experience to Morgan Cass. Two of our candidates made it to the interview stage, with one of them impressing the interview team so much so that they were offered the role.

Future recruitments on the horizon for mechanical and electrical roles

Following the successful placement of a Mechanical Contracts Manager, Morgan Cass asked us to begin recruitment for two further roles for potential projects, including an Electrical Project Manager and Mechanical and Electrical Contracts Manager.

A combination of our industry knowledge, attention to detail and excellent customer service ensured we were able to meet Morgan Cass’s requirements with the right calibre of candidates in terms of skills and fit.

Quote from Vincent Gurney:

“As a specialist recruiter for the M&E sector, we know what makes a good candidate. More than that, based on our research and relationship with our clients we also understand what they’re looking for in terms of the ‘fit’ of a candidate. This enables us to recommend not only skilled and experienced candidates for particular roles, but relevant candidates that stand out to the client, in this case Morgan Cass, and have an excellent chance of being selected for the role.”
