Regulated & Critical Infrastructure Recruitment

Competent. Compliant. Project-Proven.

Specialist Mechanical, Electrical & EC&I recruitment for highly regulated and safety-critical engineering environments.

Apex M&E Solutions provides specialist recruitment solutions to organisations operating across some of the UK’s most demanding engineering and infrastructure sectors.

Our dedicated Regulated & Critical Infrastructure division brings together our experience recruiting within:

Grid & HV Infrastructure | Nuclear | Defence | Rail | Water & Wastewater | Secure & Critical Infrastructure

Apex has previously recruited extensively within the Rail, Nuclear and Water/Wastewater sectors and today continues to support recruitment within National Grid power station and substation environments.

We have created this dedicated division to build upon that experience and provide clients with something increasingly difficult to find:

Engineering professionals with the right combination of technical capability, specialist competency and relevant project experience.

  • Grid & HV Infrastructure

    Apex currently supports recruitment within National Grid power station and substation environments.

    Our specialist network includes engineering personnel with experience across substations, power stations, transmission infrastructure and HV systems.

    We recruit:

    BESC/EUSR Personnel • Persons • Competent Persons • Authorised Persons • AP/SAP • TP137 Site Managers • HV Engineers • Protection & Control Engineers • Commissioning Engineers • Electrical Supervisors • Site Managers • Project Managers

    We understand that in these environments an experienced electrician or electrical engineer is not necessarily a suitable candidate.

    The individual’s specific competency, authorisation and relevant project experience can be critical.

  • Nuclear

    Apex has previously recruited within the UK Nuclear industry and is rebuilding and expanding its specialist Nuclear M&E and MEICA talent network.

    We recruit across:

    Mechanical • Electrical • EC&I • HVAC • Commissioning • Controls & Instrumentation • Construction • Maintenance • Project Engineering • Project Management

    Our approach places particular emphasis on previous nuclear/project experience and applicable competency, compliance and personnel-assurance requirements.

  • Defence & Secure Infrastructure

    Engineering within Defence and secure environments can introduce requirements that don’t exist within conventional M&E recruitment.

    Apex identifies engineering professionals with relevant Defence, MOD, secure-estate and safety-critical project experience.

    Where a position requires national-security vetting, this is treated separately from technical competency and accurately established during candidate qualification.

  • Rail

    Apex has previous experience recruiting within the UK Rail sector and maintains historical candidate and client relationships within the industry.

    Our specialist network covers:

    Rail Power • Electrification • HV/LV • Station M&E • Signalling Power • Electrical Engineering • Mechanical Engineering • Commissioning • Project Delivery

    Relevant rail competencies and project experience are recorded as part of our candidate qualification process.

  • Water & Wastewater

    Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control and Automation skills are fundamental to the UK’s water and wastewater infrastructure.

    Drawing upon our previous recruitment experience within the sector, Apex is developing a dedicated network covering:

    MEICA • ICA • Electrical • Mechanical • Commissioning • PLC/SCADA • Controls • Project Engineering • Site Management • Project Management

Difficult Requirement?

That’s exactly where we want to help.

If you require an M&E or EC&I professional with an unusual combination of technical expertise, project history, specialist competency, authorisation or regulated-sector experience, talk to Apex.

Rather than sending large numbers of loosely matched CVs, our objective is simple:

Find people who have done it before, understand the environment and possess the relevant credentials to do it again.
