We’re working as part of a collaborative labour desk with partners Danny Sullivan Group, Reliable, Carmichael, McGinleys and Venesky Brown to supply skilled trades and labour. Labour manager Kayleigh Boxley supports our team on the project.

Together, the labour desk partners provide

  • standard terms of business, agreed rates, and a single timesheet process
  • checks to ensure all hires comply with relevant legislation
  • a single point of contact for recruiting external trades, labour operatives, and professional and technical staff

The early stages of the project involve substantial earth-moving, so the people we are supplying are mostly experienced plant operators, site supervisors and gangers.
