Our client is responsible for design and delivery of a high-profile 90km stretch of rail in the West Midlands. Locally, a huge percentage of environmental talent has been absorbed by the wider project, meaning an already shallow talent pool is very sparsely populated. Eden Brown was approached to not only fulfill vacant roles, but also the facilitate transitioning from a contractor-based environmental specialist workforce to one that is directly-employed, in order to improve cost and control and delivery.
