Agencies for contract PM in Automation & Robotics

[Itoma]

Morning all,

How are we doing?

So here I am and I thought to say "Hello".
I've been on perm for the last 10 years in Project Management & Project Engineering with projects up to £7M per piece. Predominantly in factory & warehouse automation, FMCG & robotics. My last role was Engineering Project Manager for large online retailer.

Now entering the contracting world and wonder what agencies can you recommend with this experience of PM in automation & robotics please?
All the advice will be much appreciated. Let's see what's out there in this wild contracting world!

Thanks,
Eric

Note I don’t know anything about your sector.

But are you sure there is a contract market in that sector? If so, your research will have led you to contractors/clients/agents active in the market.

Did you work with (preferably hire) any contractors?

Therefore your best bet is to tap up your contacts from your 10 years exp.

Wish you the best of luck. Sorry I’ve not answered the question but hope it’s pointed you in the right direction.

May I suggest a slightly different approach?

Instead of looking at agencies, look at end clients. If your research tells you that a new robotics line is being set up at the Vauxhall plant In Ellesmere Port, for example, how would you get your CV in front of the right people?

I've heard that Iggesund in Workington are looking for contractors with PLC experience.

Itoma, are you SURE you are a PM in automation and robotics, and not someone trying to do a bit of marketing using our website?
