Human Resource services covering the world
 
Candidates for each position or team can be drawn from a worldwide tunnelling database to ensure that, when local knowledge is necessary, it is available. The database is continuously updated, adding up to around 200 new registrations a week.
 


For those requirements that cannot be met by our database we advertise in the most appropriate media, both tunnelling and specialist, in the best way to attract ideal candidates. We also make discrete enquiries through our network of industry contacts (including associate companies abroad), or we consult on training needs to meet new requirements from existing personnel.

Our specific client services include:

  • Recruitment of individuals for temporary, contract or long-term needs, whether at short notice or planned;
  • Recruitment or supply of full teams for specific tasks such as TBM operation and support needs, subsidence monitoring or tender preparation;
  • Consultancy on the drawing up of all tunnelling project human resource needs according to schedule, cost efficiency, and local environment;
  • Executive searches to locate and establish suitability of key personnel for senior and strategic posts, liaising on client and job seeker expectations;
  • Full support services including coordinating and/or conducting interviews, employment law advice, insurance and benefit packages
  • Commercial confidentiality for contract tenders and beyond.
For job seekers Hunter Personnel offers:
  • International career opportunities in tunnelling and related industries;
  • Permanent or contract placements or work through agency arrangements;
  • Confidential negotiations and advice;
  • A 'no fee' service to candidates;
  • Full support services including visa applications and work permits, and advice on vaccination, travel, language and accommodation.

 

 

The range of posts which Hunter Personnel can and has fulfilled is too wide to list here, but runs from teams of miners through to managing directors, from artisans and tunnel surveyors to project and plant managers, skilled TBM operators, inspectors, master drillers, planning engineers and quantity surveyors. Whatever your needs, Hunter Personnel is sure to be of assistance.

Through a combination of professionalism, competitive charges to clients (only after the position has been filled), provision of full documentation advice, and a friendly attitude, Hunter Personnel aims to put both clients and job seekers at ease while carrying out the task in hand.
