NAECI Innovation and Expertise

We’re extremely proud to be leaders in the engineering industry when it comes to
NAECI compliance and payroll solutions we provide to Category 1, 2 and 3 sites.

Our industry leading approach to NAECI

Our team of Working Rule Agreement and compliance experts have worked with contracting companies since 2005, to help them navigate the complex requirements for operating on National Agreement for the Engineering Construction Industry (NAECI) sites.

Our experienced team have an in-depth knowledge of the regulations, having managed thousands of workers on major engineering projects with 100% compliance.

Comprehensive project
management support

Our specialist team support principal and sub-contractors to understand their labour requirements. Supporting with their commercial framework and providing recruitment solutions to secure the best skilled workforce.

To ensure operations conform with regulations, our in-house compliance team manage a weekly NAECI payroll, including making accurate tax, holiday, expense and sick pay calculations, whilst facilitating pension and welfare services.

NRL’s on-site representatives provide dedicated support to workers, whilst proactively encouraging three-way communication between contracting companies, trade unions and workers to help ensure the project is delivered without unnecessary delays or conflict.

long-standing history of NAECI compliance

Our clients have trusted us to deliver NAECI compliance across major projects such as the construction of Carrington, Ferrybridge Multifuels, TeesREP, Pembroke, Staythorpe and Keadby 2 power stations.

Confidently managing the size and scale of these large NAECI sites, our experts ensure everyone understands the working agreement, and what they can expect during their employment.

To support on-site compliance, close liaison with the project auditor and all stakeholders ensures all regulations are met.

Delivering NAECI expertise

We understand that conforming to NAECI regulations is about much more than just recruitment. Our clients trust us to deliver innovative solutions designed around compliance, audited payroll and working with the industrial relations team on-site.

How we're supporting the Edmonton Energy Recovery Facility

In North London, construction is well underway to build the new Energy Recovery Facility on Edmonton EcoPark, NRL’s project team are proud to be working with ACCIONA to manage applications for supplementary workers to support the site’s construction requirements, working with project stakeholders to proactively manage NAECI compliance.

What our NAECI clients say about us

Being new to engaging workers under NAECI regulations we found the support and advice NRL provided invaluable. By working together, with NRL providing payroll and on-site support, we could ensure operations remained fully compliant.

Ian Manby

We’re delighted to be working with an organisation with an excellent track record in finding the skilled workers needed for energy construction projects.

Mike Fox

NRL helped ensure I fully understood the NAECI working practices and how my pay would be calculated. The staff are extremely easy to talk to and answer any queries either face to face with regular site visits or over the phone.

Steve Ashcroft

At Tecnicas Reunidas we were aware of the complexity of the NAECI working rule agreement and the impact it could have on our subcontractors if they didn’t have prior experience working on NAECI projects. We were keen to maintain a high level of productivity and good industrial relations on the project, so were pleased to be able to utilise NRL’s extensive NAECI expertise to establish a compliance service. Their project team worked well with our subcontractors who were inexperienced in working under NAECI, helping with their introduction onto the project. They conducted competency checking prior to the mobilisation of the workforce and assisted in the induction process onto the site which helped improve the flow of workers onto the project.

Tony Lloyd

NRL’s NAECI payroll team managed weekly and monthly payrolls, which were regularly reviewed by the site Auditor with no issues. The NRL site team were always available to support on and off site when industrial relations issues occurred - and as a result achieved an exceptional level of performance in this area. The best thing I can say about NRL is that they made every subcontractor they supported more productive working under the NAECI. Thank you to the team, we look forward to working with you on the next project.
