Demand peaks break Tier 1 teams

Year-end capex pushes, storm reactive surges, and simultaneous upgrade campaigns overwhelm fixed headcount models. Jobs queue. SLAs breach.

🪪

Accreditation takes weeks to verify

MATS, EUSR, ECS — MNOs and TowerCos can't just send any engineer to a live site. Compliance verification is the bottleneck that stops ad-hoc hiring cold.

📡

£11bn of UK build needs more hands

VodafoneThree, VMO2, EE and the SRN programme are all running simultaneously. The UK needs 250,000 more telecoms and infrastructure workers by 2028.

Burst capacity that's already cleared to work

Stop turning down work or missing SLAs because your team is fully committed. Riggr is your pre-qualified overflow resource — call-off on demand, no recruitment overhead.

Pre-verified before you call

Every engineer on the Riggr platform has current MATS, EUSR, ECS and role-specific certifications confirmed. You receive a compliance certificate before the job starts.

48-hour standard mobilisation

We maintain a standing pool of engineers across the UK. Standard deployment in 48 hours. 24/7 reactive dispatch available on retainer for emergency SLA cover.

📋

RAMS included — we own compliance

Riggr takes end-to-end responsibility for RAMS documentation, method statements, and on-site safety compliance. Not a labour agency — a managed service.

From job brief to boots on site

Three steps. No recruitment overhead. No compliance surprises.

01

Send us the brief

Tell us the job type, location, required certifications, and timeline. Phone, email, or our job portal. We respond within 2 hours during business hours, sooner for reactive emergencies.

02

We match and verify

We identify the right engineers from our pre-vetted pool, confirm their certifications are current on EUSR/Quartzweb, and prepare RAMS documentation. You receive a full compliance pack before any mobilisation.

03

Boots on site, job done

Engineers attend the site, complete the work to the required standard, and you receive a digital job report. We handle post-job admin including timesheets and any compliance records your client requires.

Every engineer, every job — fully credentialled

Our platform tracks live accreditation status for every engineer. If a cert is expired, they don't work. Simple.
