RECRUITMENT
‘Before you can build trains, you have to build the right teams’
Quantum Group is proud to be on track and on board with Hitachi Rail Europe, says Pauline McGuirk, practice head of transportation and a director of leading global executive recruitment and management consultancy Quantum Group.
If
a word sums up how we at Quantum feel about being chosen by Hitachi Rail
Europe to be a partner in its plans for train manufacturing in the UK, it is pride.
Quantum Group is retained by Hitachi Rail Europe to recruit senior managers for its £82m state-of-the-art factory at Newton Aycliffe in County Durham. It is part of the Intercity Express Programme to replace Britain’s ageing Intercity 125 fleet.
The factory will be operational from 2015 with the first next generation trains built there, entering service on the Great Western Main Line in 2017 and on the East Coast Main Line by 2018.
We are proud to be working with Hitachi on a project that will transform the experience of rail travellers and develop the North East of England as a hub for manufacturing trains for the UK and Europe, as well as supporting the job and career aspirations of those it directly employs.
But before you can build trains, you have to build the right teams. Quantum Group, with its specialist expertise in the transport sector, is currently putting together the senior management team for Newton Aycliffe.
Darren Cumner, plant manager at Hitachi Rail Newton Aycliffe, said: “We chose to work with Quantum Group so we can utilise their expertise and experience of our industry
sector, and their ability to access and secure high-calibre candidates.”
He said Hitachi places a great emphasis on employing locally wherever possible and that it is important that a good cultural awareness is ensured through their senior leadership team.
Quantum Group’s experience in recruitment for the transportation sector and particularly in railways means it is ideally placed to find the best candidates for Hitachi Rail Europe.
Like Hitachi, we value our partnerships with all of our clients globally and closer to home, and we constantly work to meet and exceed their expectations for reliability and results.
Quantum Group has consistently provided high quality coaching, outplacement services, European cross-border recruitment projects and process improvement programmes for the transportation industry.
Our team of international consultants deliver these and specialist, bespoke packages worldwide, working with leading clients in the rail, aviation, automotive and logistics sectors.
We recognise that our clients have a choice in who they work with. That Hitachi Rail Europe selected Quantum Group as a partner to deliver recruitment solutions makes us feel proud.
Quantum Group can help you find solutions in
recruitment, business process improvement consultancy, in management coaching or outplacement projects within your business. We work across sectors like transport and technology which demand detailed insight and knowledge of that industry.
