Rullion Engineering Limited – founded 1981
At Rullion Engineering we’ve played an integral part in the operational and commercial success of engineering businesses large and small for more than 30 years. As the specialist engineering recruitment division of the £280m Rullion Recruitment Group of companies, we’re experienced in delivering proven engineering recruitment solutions to our customers currently numbering more than 200 companies.
Our clients represent many of the UK’s most successful businesses from the engineering, manufacturing, scientific and technical sectors. These are businesses that demand the very best people as well as comprehensive recruitment services to match. They’re businesses that demand the peace of mind that comes from knowing their recruitment is always in safe hands.
Rullion Engineering was established on the initial success in supplying UK contractors to work in the Middle East. This grew rapidly into the provision of temporary and permanent staff to a broad based client portfolio across a wide range of industry sectors across the UK and on specific overseas projects and is now:
A selection of our existing Clients:
o £103 million annual turnover serving a wide variety of clients right across the
engineering industry
o Ranked as the UK’s 3rd largest recruiter in engineering
o Clients include: Babcock, Siemens, Alstom Power, Jacobs, CCFE, Bam Nuttall, .
EDF Energy, E.On etc
o Over 350,000 up-to-date records of high quality engineering candidates on our
state-of-the-art database
Approach The needs of our customers vary dramatically; our service reflects this and is tailored accordingly to suit on a company by company basis. Irrespective of the deployed solution the ultimate goals of our customers do not change: “Find suitably qualified people at the right time in a cost effective way.” Furthermore: “Offer me something that enriches my business in a way that I don’t currently experience”
“Rullion Engineering is proud to offer
innovative services that deliver
uncompromising results in a cost effective way.”
So how does it all work? With flexibility comes complexity and as such all client specific proposals are constructed on a case by case basis once the needs have been identified.
Our client relationships work across the whole spectrum from competitive preferred lists through to 100% sole supply arrangements. Traditional recruiting activities are of course at the heart of our service irrespective of the method or framework. Modern technological enhancements provided by the internet and our own bespoke IT infrastructure tie this together and further
increase our competitive advantage.
We are experienced in delivering complex project solutions that are implemented by dedicated recruitment teams in order to ensure timely rallying of contractor teams for outages and short term projects. In addition fully outsourced resourcing campaigns guarantee the best permanent candidates are sourced for long term assignments within a set timeline. Dedicated solutions such as these and other all encompassing agreements such as master vendor, managed service and sole supply flourish due to the deployment of dedicated teams and onsite presence.
In all encompassing arrangements our in-house, “My Recruiter” software solution delivers total visibility, control and compliance for both contractors and permanent staff. Rullion manpower planning software can be integrated to further enhance our client’s skill mapping, FTE utilisation and project cost planning.
“Pro-activity, speed, efficiency
and innovation are the four
cornerstones to everything we do.”
Business process improvements relating to recruiting and contractor
management are regularly identified and deployed as a part of the account management process, through this process to realise cost and efficiency savings for our customer. As standard we offer legislative advice to our clients free of charge to help reduce the risks associated with contractor relations. Our expertise with recruitment advertising media can be invaluable in both our customers own internal activities or to our own customer specific campaigns. We even work with some clients to help with internal referral schemes reducing overall cost per hire across all recruiting activities.
Graduate sourcing and selection campaigns can be designed from scratch and integrated with our clients training and on-boarding protocols. For “business critical” positions we assign additional and dedicated personnel to ensure the best people are found on-time every time. We work with many organisations to plan their forthcoming manpower needs and proactively source candidates for them in advance of those vacancies going live, driving significant operational benefit.
Contract status: Managed Service – Culham Centre Fusion Energy (Nuclear Sector) Background
Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) is the UK's national laboratory for fusion research. CCFE (formerly known as UKAEA Culham) is based at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire, and is owned and operated by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. In addition, CCFE hosts the world's largest magnetic fusion experiment, JET (Joint European Torus), on behalf of its European partners. The JET facilities are operated for scientists from around Europe.
Rullion have been the sole supplier of engineering, technical and scientific agency personnel to the Culham Science Centre (formerly UKAEA) since January 2006 and involved the migration of 300 ASW’s from the outgoing supplier. The initial contract award was for a 3 year period and was extended for a further 3 years (1+1+1 - the maximum allowed under the contract). A recent competitive tendering process has resulted in contract re-award to Rullion commencing July 2012 (3 years +1+1+1 year extensions) Typical Roles / Skill Sets Supplied
Applied Physicists C & I Engineers I.T. Health Physics Technicians Mechanical Design Engineers Administration Physicists Planners Human Resources Software / Control Engineers Quality Engineers Finance RF Engineers Safety Officers Procurement Vacuum Engineers Laboratory Supervisors Skilled Craft
Cost & Efficiency Achievements
o The electronic timesheet functionality provides CCFE with a detailed breakdown of all hours worked (standard time and overtime) by project, and gives significant additional security over the previous paper-based system. The data extract from myRecruiter for upload into SAP has achieved a ‘zero error’ rate by removing the need to manually enter data from a number of different sources. Over 1,300 monthly data entry and accounting transactions have been reduced to ONE!.
o On Rullion advice, the annual cost of living increase for ASW rates was removed and replaced with individual rate assessments. The result has been that on average only 20% of ASW’s receive a rate increase during the course of a year, as opposed to 100% receiving a rate increase under the previous arrangement.
o Rullion undertake regular pay rate benchmarking exercises to ensure that ASW pay rates are in line with local market expectations. This rate benchmarking has result in a reduction of ASW rates by approximately 5% within certain functions.
o Rullion has worked with CCFE to identify those roles which would be better suited to staff roles and has run a number of temp to perm conversion programmes during the life of the contract.
o Rullion provided CCFE with a reduction in the agency mark up based on improved payment terms.
Innovation – Technology Platform Implementation
Rullion undertook a detailed scoping exercise to develop a thorough understanding of CCFE’s needs and existing operational processes. Our project team then provided CCFE with a detailed implementation plan and configured myRecruiter to provide a bespoke solution for CCFE which included:
o Information capture and workflows configured to match their existing recruitment processes
o Multi-level approval for new hire requirements
o Candidate on-boarding to incorporate PO number, payroll number and security pass
o An electronic timesheet solution that records time worked against specific projects/project codes
o Defined allowance claims incorporated into the electronic timesheet
o A data extract from myRecruiter to upload information directly into SAP
To enable a smooth transition to using myRecruiter, we provided CCFE with comprehensive online training covering all system functionality for both ASWs and hiring managers. Rullion have introduced an e-recruitment tool into the contract which facilitates the raising, actioning and tracking of requirements.
Service Improvements Achievements
o Rullion myRecruiter has provided CCFE with complete visibility and control over the entire recruitment, on-boarding and ongoing management of ASWs. Over 100 hiring managers can now raise hiring requests, review candidate submissions, arrange interviews, manage offers, on-board candidates, review and approve hours worked; all via a single integrated system.
o The number of vacancies filled within the defined timescale has improved by 165% since Rullion were awarded the contract and 100% of all vacancies have been filled within the agreed timescale for the past two years.
o Rullion have reduced the time to hire cycle by on average of 6 weeks, which has a positive impact on project timescales. o Rullion runs regular workshops for all UKAEA hiring managers regarding the management of ASW’s and each are issued
with a ‘Legislation update Handbook’ produced by Rullion. This has significantly reduced the risk and incidences of ASW’s issues and claims.
Compliance Rullion know that working at high risk sites
requires high safety standards, quality
management systems and a high degree of
compliance with site regulations.
Our commitment to health & safety combined
with our stringent and extensive portfolio of
candidate checks ensure we minimize risk at
all levels of interaction with our customers.
Our proactive approach to this ensures we are
able to supply the right candidates at the right
time. Rullion have provided workers to almost
every geographical area of the UK and many
international locations too.
Due to the stringent checks for some sites
there will be some roles that require a more
lengthy screening process. Rullion
understand fully that the needs of our
customers vary and our approach to the
recruitment process is tailored accordingly.
Rullion is a registered Umbrella Body for
undertaking Criminal Records Bureau checks,
and, where appropriate, can undertake basic
and enhanced disclosure checks on
candidates provided to our clients. We are
also experienced in arranging for medicals,
health screening and safety passports and any
other testing as required by our clients.
In addition to the above Rullion recognise the
additional pressure associated with pay-
rolling contractors and housing employees in
international locations. International
employment/taxation legislation, expense
claims, general payroll, multi currency
transactions are highly complex. Rullion can
consolidate this in a manageable way whilst
maintaining compliance and minimising risk.
Rullion consolidate international activity
through our London based team and our
payroll activity through our parent business
and where necessary utilize our international
pay-rolling partners to ensure expectations
are met and seamless service delivery is
assured.
