RPO Case Study
A 1.5GW offshore wind project located off the UK coast required rapid workforce expansion to move into its next development phase. LSP Renewables was engaged to support hiring across multiple critical disciplines through a boutique Recruitment Process Outsourcing solution.
An embedded consultant worked directly within the project team, leading workforce planning alongside Hiring Managers and Project Directors. This included creating job specifications, providing salary benchmarking and structuring interview processes to align hiring timelines with project milestones.
To support contractor compliance, an IR35 assessment process was implemented covering both role and contractor determinations. The recruitment partner managed all assessments and outcomes, reducing administrative burden and ensuring clarity for hiring managers.
The consultant maintained an onsite presence two days per week for nine months, enabling close stakeholder engagement, rapid decision making and coordinated recruitment delivery.
Roles Delivered
Engineering, project services, procurement, planning, consents, communications and management positions across both onshore and offshore disciplines were successfully filled.
Outcome
The recruitment programme enabled the project to confidently build its core team and progress into the next development phase, reaching the regulatory examination stage following submission of its consent application in early 2024.
