stressed engineer lrIt’s that time of year again where project, purchasing and site engineers all around the UK are planning equipment overhauls, installation and decommissioning projects.

As a result, July through to October can be a highly-stressed and positively charged period. Project managers have to battle with holiday cover, manpower and skills shortages.
