How Peoitaly helped a large construction company find four specialised TBM professionals for highly technical roles.
A large construction company operating on major tunnelling and infrastructure projects needed support to recruit highly specialised blue-collar professionals with experience in Tunnel Boring Machine operations.
The search was particularly challenging because of the technical nature of the roles and the limited availability of suitable candidates.
Peoitaly supported the company with a flexible recruitment approach, adapting the search to the client’s evolving needs and managing a complex hiring process in a highly specialised talent market.
The challenge
The company needed to hire highly specialised workers for TBM operations.
These profiles are difficult to source because they require specific technical experience and operate within a limited talent pool.
The client therefore needed a recruitment partner able to understand the complexity of the roles, adapt quickly to changing requirements and manage the search with speed and flexibility.

Peoitaly structured the recruitment activity around close communication with the client, targeted sourcing and a flexible approach to candidate selection.
