UK-based RTC Group plc (AIM: RTC.L), the engineering and technical recruitment company, announced its subsidiary, Ganymede, won a contract with Scotland-based SSE plc, an energy and electricity supplier.

Ganymede will source, train and provide a minimum of 250 dual fuel installers for its Smart-Meter rollout program. The initial term of the contract, signed on July 25, runs until Dec. 31, 2020. It has a revenue value of £28 million (US$36.5 million), which will be realized over the initial term.

The provision of smart meter installers will commence in November 2017 with a phased training and deployment plan that will see at least 250 installers deployed on a full-time basis.

“I am delighted that Ganymede Energy has been chosen to partner SSE plc on this exciting long-term project,” said RTC Chief Executive Andy Pendlebury. “This partnership is another significant step for our Ganymede business in establishing itself as the market leading provider of personnel to safety critical environments.”

Ganymede is one of RTC's three subsidiaries. The others are Global Staffing Solutions, which provides managed service solutions for international clients, and engineering and technical recruiter ATA. RTC acquired Ganymede Energy (formerly RIG Energy) in December 2014 as part of its diversification strategy for Ganymede and the wider group.
