Competing with a global focus on railway enhancements, the UK market will need to plan ahead to bridge the skill gaps that exist within many pockets of the industry.

4 Roads & highways Our team of recruitment professionals have a proven capability recruiting for the following disciplines within Roads and Highways; Highways Engineers Designers Transport Economists Traffic Modellers Transport Planners Traffic Engineers Infrastructure Engineers CAD Technicians Project Managers Site Managers Site Engineers The combination of increased traffic and congestion on the UK s roads and spending cuts in the sector following the recession has resulted in the Government committing substantial investment into improvements of our road networks over the next few years. Close to 30billion is budgeted through to 2020 for projects to enhance national and local roads, incorporating a substantial repair programme to existing roads as well as developments of the network to enhance capacity at known pinch points. With the UK s roads rated as 24th in the world for quality, these projects across the length and breadth of the country are necessary to address historic underinvestment. ATA s experience of providing engineering recruitment solutions to principal contractors undertaking similar enhancement projects, ensures we have the capability and experience to meet the fluctuating demand that major infrastructure projects require. In recent years recruitment solutions have been provided to both civil and construction contractors alongside technology manufacturers of traffic management systems.

5 airports ATA has the capability to provide qualified personnel with the skills and experience to operate across: Cost, Commercial & Contracts Management Project & Programme Management Project Controls & Planning Construction Management Site Managers & Engineers HSQE Management Design Management Risk & Change Maintenance Bids & Proposals The continued development of the UK economy includes an objective for the country to become a net exporter, therefore requiring increasing international trade relations. The Government s objective of doubling exports to 1trillion by 2020 will require the capacity issues at UK airports to be addressed. More effective utilisation of existing infrastructure and the building of new runways and airports to increase capacity will enable the UK to establish direct air links with emerging markets. The ability to attract both private and overseas investment into recent developments at both Manchester Airport and Heathrow confirms the overseas trade interest in the UK. Future infrastructure developments will challenge the labour market in respect of the availability and management of resources. Whether those developments incorporate new airports or the expansion of existing, the challenge will remain the same; how will companies tackle the skills shortages in the industry to ensure they have the requisite resources in place to deliver projects? ATA has successfully supported clients to recruit personnel for runway and apron extension projects, terminal builds, and electrical and mechanical installations, utilising its established links to candidate networks within the sector. Additionally, ATA has been able to resolve problem hires through identifying candidates with transferable skills sourced from allied sectors. 4 Being established in the UK infrastructure sector and having supported clients to deliver enhancements at Gatwick, Manchester and Heathrow, ATA s team is well placed to recruit both senior professionals and skilled labour for roles throughout the sector.

8 TESTIMONIALS Firstly I would like to pass on my sincere thanks for all the help and support the ATA team has given us, the quality of candidates was of an exceptionally high standard and delivered within agreed timescales. I have full trust in leaving your team to deal with our recruitment needs allowing me to focus on other areas of my job. Without this help and support I don t think we could have recruited the successful team we have now. HR MANAGER-UK TRANSPORT OPERATOR I have worked within the HR team for over 5 years dealing with recruitment agencies on a daily basis. There are only a small number of agencies on our PSL that have performed to a particularly high standard and ATA is certainly one of them.
