Powering Up a UK Nuclear Project by Overcoming Cross-Border Workforce Challenges
Sector: Energy
An international energy provider was selected to build the UK’s latest nuclear power plant. This high-stakes project demanded expertise from highly specialised international personnel, each with distinct roles, skills, and duration requirements. The client faced a unique challenge: navigating complex UK immigration rules while managing tax and social security obligations. To meet these requirements without overwhelming budgets, they needed a precise and tailored strategy.
Our Approach
We began by evaluating each employee’s role and categorising the workforce based on specific skill sets, responsibilities, and timelines. This structured assessment allowed us to develop solutions for each group, aligning immigration options with project requirements. We provided a comprehensive strategy that outlined various immigration options, along with an analysis of tax and social security impacts.
The report included critical insights that enabled the client’s leadership to understand both costs and compliance risks clearly. To secure leadership buy-in, we supplied a holistic view of workforce needs, giving the client a confident roadmap for resource planning.
Outcome
With our support, the energy provider navigated cross-border compliance, ensuring that specialised talent could be deployed as needed without disrupting the project. This approach enabled cost-effective workforce transfers, ensuring the project progressed on schedule and met all regulatory standards. Our strategic insights and compliance solutions empowered the client to focus on their project goals, knowing their mobility needs were expertly managed.
This case underscores Immtell’s commitment to helping businesses in high-stakes industries tackle complex global mobility challenges, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and seamless workforce integration.
