Labour and Trades…

Galaxy Construction’s consultants have over 8 years experience within the Construction recruitment industry and consultants continuously monitor the Industry to ensure that we offer attractive rates of pay, whilst maintaining competitive rates and terms for our clients. We deal with the majority of Main Contractors nationwide as well as House Builders, Sub-Contractors and of course, smaller local builders.

As an employer, Galaxy Construction also actively promote the CSCS Scheme and encourage all applicants, and indeed staff, to obtain this important qualification. To this end, we have the facility to book our employees onto the test and this has proved to be an additional service benefit for candidates and clients alike.

We are able to source and supply all trades including:

  • Carpenters
  • Bricklayers
  • Painters
  • Plasterers
  • Ground Workers
  • Plant Operatives
  • General and Skilled Labourers
  • Steel Fixers
  • Dry Liners

All candidates are interviewed and fully referenced, regardless of their level, prior to employment. We operate an open, honest policy and believe this has been key to the relationships we have developed over the past ten years. In an Industry frequently accused of over-promising and under-delivering, we are choosing to challenge this status quo and would rather turn away a booking we know we cannot fill, rather than accept it and fail to meet expectations.

Here at Galaxy, we have immediate access to hundreds of workers, ranging from pickers and packers to experienced forklift and tractor drivers. Sometimes we find that our workers are unavailable for work or don’t match the criteria you seek, if this should be the case, we will initiate a search and selection process on your behalf utilising some of the largest external recruitment databases to seek workers.

We pride ourselves on being able to deliver on time, every time and will use every resource available to find you workers.

The challenge of matching supply to ever changing demand is one which Galaxy continues to address with vision and enthusiasm.
