Based on the pro-active management of a core workforce we can plan, train and respond quickly in safely deploying the teams our customers need.

Non PTS workers and staff are available to you across the UK for any work being undertaken that requires trades and labour, supervision, professional, technical or executive staff. We’ll run our standard ‘Recruit’ service for all hires on your general property and assets.
As soon as the work content requires a PTS, our ‘Recruit Plus’ service clicks into place with safety, compliance and training procedures, providing the business assurance you need at this level and above.

The rail sector will face a shortage of supervisory level operatives and staff in the coming years and we will be helping to solve this problem for our customers.
We can supply a wide range of operatives with supervisory skills whether your needs are off or on the track. Our links to the wider civil engineering marketplace means we can provide or transfer skills from other parts of our portfolio for your off track work situations.
If we can’t fulfil your needs straight away, talk to us and our training division will target specific supervisory operatives active elsewhere on civils for re-training.
On track we have a nationwide labour force of NCCA/Sentinel competent workers on hire; many with wider supervisory skills that add value to their placement with customers.
We are constantly looking for supervisory skills within the workforce and will work with you to identify and promote those individuals so that both your workforce and ours will benefit.

The Electrification and S&T markets are growing. Major rail project work, worth billions, is in the pipeline over the coming years and this will form a significant slice of the growth expected in the rail sector in the next decade. Skill shortages in this specialist area will be very much on the agenda and there will be tough competition for resources in the future.
This year we’ve opened up the contingent labour recruitment and supply in Electrification and S&T to our national delivery units within McGinley Support Services. That means we are servicing your needs from all of our regional locations and have numerous more staff to forecast demand, recruit and support customers. It’s our longer term strategy to meet the needs of the growing market in the future.

executive, professional
& technical staff
McGinley Technical: professional staffing
Our National Technical staffing team will supply you with all the support roles you need. As a 1st or 2nd tier supplier to
many of the UK’s largest engineering companies, McGinley Technical can recruit all levels of rail personnel on a permanent, contract or temporary basis.
Bid Support: creating a staff pipeline
Working with you, we develop a resource and recruitment programme that matches the requirements of your bid and creates a talent pool of professionals equipped to add value to your organisation.
From the creation of defined job descriptions, we utilise a number of channels to identify and pre-select potential employees on a global basis that are shortlisted against your project requirements, many of which can be utilised during the bid process.
This creates a talent pipeline of candidates who have been interviewed by and agreed terms with clients. Upon award of a suitable bid, this will provide an entire project team within a greatly reduced time frame, combined with an increased quality of recruitment and compliance with internal recruitment processes.
Executive Search: for special assignments
Our Rail Executive Search solution has been developed to provide clients with a totally transparent service that is bespoke to each assignment. From the initial briefing through to successful on-boarding, our service is designed to offer clients a high level of inclusion and control throughout the assignment, creating a true partnering experience.
In contrast to most Executive Search organisations who utilise internal and external research teams, we strongly believe that each assignment we undertake is delivered in its entirety by the consultant you meet at the initial briefing. This includes all competitor mapping and research, approach calls to potential candidates, candidate pre-selection and interview, and shortlist presentation.

safety, compliance
& training
safety
You have to keep staff and operatives safe when they are on parts of the infrastructure controlled by you, so our rail recruitment support service is dedicated to working with you to keep the workforce safe.
Our independent safety team will meet with their peers in your organisation to ensure there are integrated procedures, that best practice is followed and there is full cascading of relevant information. We investigate our own incidents and accidents and share results with you to help reduce our joint risks further.
compliance
Our rail compliance unit has developed over many years into a comprehensive part of our service delivery.
You can have confidence that we have the necessary systems and procedures in place and can deliver within complex rail recruitment arrangements.
We remain open for audit any time and always welcome your due diligence as it helps us to learn and improve, as well as demonstrate our compliance. We believe that maintaining compliance as an independent unit from our operational teams has allowed us to offer high levels of assurance to our customers.
training
Asset.McGinley, our training division, undertakes over 60% of our training requirements in-house. We’re extremely proud of the fact that in our NSARE inspection during May 2014, we were rated as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas and we are now one of the top training providers nationwide. We have a skills framework to support skills development in the rail sector and to further add to our capability to fulfil your needs. With apprenticeships, NVQ2 and leadership programmes in place, Asset.McGinley helps ensure that we can deliver the developing skills that you need.
McGinley RAPS
Launched in January 2014, the McGinley RAPS (Rail Apprentice Placement Scheme) is a new scheme for young people wanting to find work in the rail industry. McGinley RAPS is the first of its kind and we look to provide our apprentices with real work opportunities, connecting talented young candidates with the rail sector. Unlike other experience and apprenticeship schemes, RAPS looks to provide solid work opportunities upon completion of the placement, benefitting both apprentices and the rail industry as a whole.
As the largest supplier of contingent labour to Network Rail, McGinley are the recruitment service to trust when it comes to choosing an apprenticeship that will offer continued placements upon completion. For McGinley, RAPS not only provides valuable opportunities for young people looking to gain access to the sector, but also acts in the interests of the rail industry through the matching of skilled apprentices with the appropriate vacancies.
