Cloud Architect — Outside IR35

A major retail group requires a Cloud Architect with strong AWS expertise.

Data Engineer — Inside IR35

Manchester · £400 – £475/day

A public sector organisation requires a Data Engineer to support a data platform build.

Our contractor network is active, pre-vetted, and available at short notice. We aim to have a relevant shortlist in front of you within 48 hours — and we handle IR35 status determinations as standard.

Speed matters in the contract market, but speed without quality creates problems. Every contractor in our network has been interviewed and technically assessed. When we say someone is available and ready, we mean it — not just that they responded to a message.

48-Hour Turnaround

We know contract timelines are tight. We aim to have a relevant shortlist in front of you within two working days.

IR35 Ready

We provide clear IR35 status determinations on every role and work with compliant payment solutions to keep engagements straightforward.

Active Contractor Network

We don't post-and-pray. Our contractors are known to us, already vetted, and ready to start.

We place technology and engineering contractors on assignments ranging from one month to multi-year programmes — across the UK and into Europe. Our network covers Java, Python, Go, and .NET developers, cloud and infrastructure architects, data engineers, and DevOps specialists.

Every contractor is interviewed, technically assessed, and IR35-reviewed before we put them forward. We handle the compliance so you can focus on the work — and because our contractors are known to us rather than found on job boards, our turnaround times are consistently faster than the market average.

Contract recruitment at contract speed

Coppice Talent is a recruiter for contractors. We place developers, cloud and data engineers and infrastructure specialists on assignments from a single month to a multi-year programme, across the UK and Europe. The contract market has its own pace and its own paperwork, and we built the business around both.

Speed is only useful if the details are right. Before anyone is put forward we have spoken to them, tested their skills and agreed the rate, the length and the IR35 status with the client, so nothing is left to discover in week one. IR35 determinations come as standard, and the payment route is settled before the start date.

Contractors tell us what they want is a straight answer: the rate, the length and the client, up front. We give clients the same: who is available, when they can start and what it will cost, before anyone loses a week.
