We've seen quite an upsurge in projects posted directly by clients over the course of 2009, perhaps because clients are keen to get value for money and avoid the overheads of larger consultancies and agencies. But what's most satisfying about what has become a regular flow of projects is that the majority of them are what I call 'real projects for real consultants'.
Engineering consultants AdrianTaylor put the point well, "I'm most impressed at how the real solidly engineering jobs are rolling in to Skillfair at the moment. Recently it was those troublesome trucks on the railway, then it was advice on how to take a significant piece of plant to pieces - and now it is the deliciously tantalising matter of potentially supervising the supply and installation of small scale gas-turbine and steam-raising power for electricity generation.
And before all that, I got a problematic railcar to drive (ahem - 'assess') for a couple of days. Congratulations!"
Not all our recent projects have been engineering related but they have generally had a satisfyingly 'meaty' flavour and have been well received by those consultants with the particular specialist skills required.
