Tasked with approving loan applications for various funding projects, NSCE needed support to recruit engineers to undertake technical and financial modelling and generate assessment reports to manage green investment opportunities.
About the projects
The initiatives, developed by the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) are supported by the European Union and green climate fund, will each run for several years. North South Consultants Exchange (NSCE), working in a consortium with STANTEC, manage the loan facilities – assessing the eligibility of SME applications to ensure funding is given to the right projects.
Client feedback
“We engaged the recruitment support of NRL because we needed help finding the right candidates with the knowledge and expertise to assess the potential energy and resourcing efficiencies that could be achieved by loaning money to local Egyptian businesses to help them grow their businesses.
NRL were able to identify the right candidates in a difficult market, navigate them through two complex interviews and salary negotiations to successfully place a Lead and Local Engineer to join our team. We’re delighted to have worked with them, and look forward to any future opportunities for NSCE and NRL to collaborate.”
