Construction Document Controller
Our Client’s Challenge
Our international construction management client called our contract team at 10am one Monday morning saying that they had been let down and that work would be stopped due to a lack of a document controller. Our client wanted someone on site ready to work the following morning at 8am.
Our Approach and the Agreement/ Our Response
Our client called the Populus contract team asking for us to find urgently a Document Controller to start work on a site in the South East of England the following morning. The client’s work was on a biotech site and it was on close down for maintenance and repairs which needed to be completed within a tight timeframe. We needed to find a suitably qualified person to turn up to keep the work going the following morning.
The Process
Our contract team got on the phones immediately using their electronic ‘rolodex’ – our constantly updated and cleaned Client Management System, and contacts of contacts. Our network is huge in each of our sector Practices and it is at times of urgent need that our network comes into its own. From the client call at 10am, the team tracked down their contacts and found out whether from this pool any document controllers with biotech experience were available for immediate start, qualifying their credentials through Populus interview along the way.
By 4pm, the lead Contract consultant had interviewed and qualified a great candidate who was able and willing to start the next day under our contracting arrangements on our payroll. With a Document Controller in place, the work was able to continue unabated in a safe and orderly way.
Three Client Successful Outcomes
1. One Day Urgent Hire
This urgent hire was fulfilled in less than 24 hours with the successful hire contracted on a Populus contract
2. Site Work able to Continue
The work on this Biotech site was able to continue in a safe and organised manner due to the arrival of our outstanding candidate.
