The Brief SMG were seeking an Asset Management Consultant to review the SMG Ten Year Asset Management Plan in its current draft, recasting and representing it according to newly agreed funding categories. The consultant would help develop and clearly articulate the strategy and outcomes for a ten year maintenance plan on a site by site basis; using existing data and knowledge to more clearly identify top risks and focus for allocation of a constrained budget The Challenge To ensure that the process of recruiting a specialised, niche consultant with a national remit was managed effectively, whilst allowing the client management to continue their duties without the distraction of a major recruitment drive. The entire process of search, interviewing, selection and onboarding the consultant into the organisation all had to be completed within a two week window. The consultant would be required to undertake the task of disaggregation, analysis and re-presentation of the Asset Management Plan. They would take existing Asset Management data, and site knowledge (across six sites nationally), PPM plans, trend data, and local knowledge of the Heads of Estate etc, and develop further. Requiring a variety of different skillsets (asset management, health and safety, capital projects, capital planning and maintenance) and someone of a suitably senior stature, the individual we were tasked with finding would undoubtedly be from a small pool of possible candidates and would test the strength and quality of our networks and talent pools. The Solution The process, from receipt of the job description to the final acceptance, took nine working days. This allowed MRG to utilise our extensive network of available interim candidates, recruitment methodologies and experience to identify and screen suitable candidates. The successful candidate was phone interviewed and subsequently interviewed face to face where they were thoroughly briefed on the role prior to being submitted to the client. The assigned consultant onboarded the following week and undertook the assignment, completing the work in time, submitting their report back to our client and being kept on past the original end date to make further recommendations.
