How a process-sector brief actually runs

The sector decides part of the workflow, but most of it is the same. Whether the role is a panel operator on a continental shift at a Humber refinery or a process safety lead at a Cheshire petrochemical works, we follow the same steady process so nothing slips.

1. Sector-specific brief

We come into the briefing call ready. If it is a refinery role, we know which units you run. If it is gas distribution, we know the GDN you sit inside. We will not waste your call asking the basics.

2. Salary calibration against the rotation

Every shortlist is calibrated against current UK process-sector salary data plus what we are seeing live across the desk this month. Continental shift, days-only, 4-on / 4-off and call-out arrangements all change the number. If the band looks low for the pattern, we will tell you before we start.

3. Vetted, ranked shortlist

Three to five candidates per brief, properly vetted. CCNSG, SMSTS, IOSH, NEBOSH, process safety credentials and right-to-work confirmed before introduction. Each ranked against the brief rather than just sent.

4. Offer and start-date support

We coordinate the offer, manage counter-offer pressure, line up the start date and any pre-employment checks, and check in at day 7, 30 and 90.

Sectors we deliberately do not cover

Offshore oil & gas, nuclear new-build, onshore wind farms above the substation, and pure construction outside the EPC envelope sit best with sector specialists. We will tell you within one call if we are not the right fit.
