K. CIVIL ENGINEER.

:

3. UNFORTUNATELY, RECRUITING AT BEI HAS PROVED A SLOW PROCESS (AND FOR YOUR OWN INFORMATION WAS NOT STARTED AS EARLY AS IT SHOULD), AND EXCEPT WHERE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY IN POST IT IS NOT REALISTIC TO EXPECT THE POSTS FILLED IN HONG KONG BEFORE 1ST

FEBRUARY.

4. SOME OF THESE POSTS ARE CURRENTLY COVERED. TONY SHINE IS THE

SENIOR SITE MANAGER ON THE SITE SUPERVISION TEAM (A), AND BECK, LAYZELLE AND BLACKOOR (ALL TEMPORARY, PRESENTLY DUE BACK IN THE UK ON 21 DECEMBER) ARE RESPECTIVELY CIVIL (K), OVERHEAD LINE (J), AND SUBSTATION (G). FOR YOUR OWN INFORMATION, BECK HAS BEEN OFFERED

THE PERMANENT CIVIL JOB AND SO THAT POST IS NOT LIKELY TO GO

UNCOVERED.

5. BE ARE LOOKING FOR TEMPORARY COVER FOR THE OVERHEAD LINE

POSTS (C/J) WHERE THEY HAVE NOT YET IDENTIFIED ACCEPTABLE CANDIDATES: THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THEM FOR ALL OTHERS (B, D, F, G, H, K (BECK)),

6. IN ADDITION, BE I WERE TO SUPPLY A CONTRACTS ENGINEER FOR A

COUPLE OF MONTHS, STARTING 1 DECEMBER. HOWEVER BROOKS HAS AGREED THAT 1 JANUARY WILL SUFFICE, AND THAT DATE WILL BE MET.

7. BROOKS HAS ASKED WEAVING WHAT THE POSITION IS, AND WEAVING

WILL REPLY TO HIM DIRECT. BUT IT IS BETTER THAT YOU SHOULD BE

AWARE THAT HE IS UNLIKELY TO FIND THE RESPONSE VERY SATISFACTORY,

WE HERE SHALL CONTINUE TO KEEP PRESSURE ON B E 1.
