Hiring the best water engineers in the market: We are the recruitment partner of choice for Water Frameworks
Water by Murray has been supporting Frameworks with their water engineering hiring needs since AMP 4, from programme infrastructure and delivery to completion and handover. There are no other recruitment consultancies in the water sector that have successfully navigated a full project life cycle, like our team.
From project inception to completion, and everything in between, we understand your recruitment needs, resourcing requirements and how these sit within the AMP cycles schedule and regulatory requirements. We know how you operate, are aware of the broader ecosystem, the structure of delivery and supply, and are adept at positioning ourselves to offer the best resource at the right time. Our understanding and track record has led to the development of successful and long-term recruitment partnerships with Water Frameworks, including Wessex, Thames, Anglian, Yorkshire, Northumbrian, Portsmouth and Scottish Water.
As water engineering recruitment specialists, we adapt to keep pace with the range of new roles being developed across the sector. As technology advances and projects within the industry progress, skills in automation, research and implementation are ever more key to driving success.

Helped us to meet demand & deadlines!
Teo & Murray McIntosh helped us during a very busy period.
At that time we required experienced electricians to assist us with cutting cables, assembling complex multi-core cables, soldering, and panel wiring. Teo helped us to meet demand & deadlines by introducing us to qualified individuals in the area who were able to jump on board with the availability and skillsets we required.

We do a bulk of our business through Teo due to the quality of the candidates and the speed of service!
We currently have 10+ Murray McIntosh resources working across my team. Teo has been the recruiter for all of them. We have found the standard of applicants to be high, clearly the effort dedicated to candidate vetting by Teo prior to submission has saved time at the interview stage with an offer rate of around 2 from 3. Teo is very proactive in offering CVs and managing them through the online portals to get them in front of me for review, he is also quick to act when making offers and securing start dates. He has been supportive on the occasion a candidate wasn’t performing and provided sound guidance on the way forward. Compared to other recruiting partners, we do a bulk of our business through Teo due to the quality of the candidates and the speed of service.

Mini Murray Case Study
We have supported Wessex Water for 8 years. In that time we have worked closely with the organisation and its leaders within the Engineering division to ensure they always have access to the best talent at the correct time.
The Challenge
Wessex Water is a leader in the engineering field and operates at the forefront of the developments that occur within the water industry and the AMP cycle. A lot of thought and planning needs to be given to the human capital requirements and how you find and secure specific, often niche, skill sets at the right time.
It is worth noting that during this period, we have consulted and advised as to the effective implementation of IR35 and tackled the associated challenges as well as aiding Wessex Water maintain staffing levels throughout COVID-19 and the lockdown periods.
The Solution
We have always worked closely with a range of stakeholders, building robust and adaptive processes to enable the swift and efficient hiring of the best talent. This has resulted in over 40 placements and a significant increase in average tenure.
