Our Division Industrial Services

Partnerships That Go Beyond Placement

Our Industrial Services division delivers experienced semi-skilled operatives and access specialists to heavy industry clients throughout the UK. We support environments such as chemical plants, energy-from-waste facilities, refineries, steelworks, recycling operations, and major new-build projects.

From routine maintenance through to large shutdowns and turnarounds, we provide reliable personnel who understand the pace, risk profile, and safety culture of industrial sites. We have the capacity and network to mobilise teams of any size—whether that’s a small group for local works or large volumes of labour for complex, time-critical programmes.

At Mech Tech, we recognise that supplying staff into high-risk environments demands more than filling numbers. It requires a detailed understanding of site requirements, compliance expectations, and operational pressures to ensure every worker is vetted, experienced, briefed, and ready to perform safely from day one.

How Mech Tech Add Value

Workforce supply is critical to safety, productivity, and programme certainty. Our Industrial Services division goes beyond simply providing labour—we operate as a trusted partner, supporting clients with compliant, flexible, and scalable workforce solutions tailored to demanding site conditions.

We understand that outages, shutdowns, and maintenance programmes often work to immovable deadlines, where delays can carry significant operational and financial consequences. That’s why our approach is built around rapid response, clear communication, and meticulous compliance management. From initial requirement planning and labour forecasting through to mobilisation and ongoing site support, we ensure every operative arrives prepared, qualified, and fully briefed.

By combining sector knowledge with strong candidate networks and proven mobilisation processes, we help clients maintain safe working practices, reduce risk, and keep projects moving efficiently—no matter the scale or complexity.
