Questions about London.
How quickly can you shortlist in London?
Briefs are acknowledged the same working day, and shortlists typically arrive within two working days. Estates that need security clearance take weeks of lead time, so say so in the brief.
Do engineers travel to London from other markets?
Yes. Engineers travel between the six launch markets, including from Manchester and the north. Congestion charging, ULEZ and parking shape travel costs, so we agree them at brief stage.

ECS cards, CSCS and site inductions are standard. Some estates require security clearance, which needs weeks of lead time.
Is there a recruiter who knows this market?
Yes. The London desk is covered by a recruiter with a network infrastructure delivery background across the City, Canary Wharf and the Slough colocation corridor.
