Specialist, technical workforce supply
Our projects are delivered by a long-standing, highly
skilled specialist workforce, which we recognise as one of
our greatest assets.
We have made sustained investment in building, retaining
and developing specialist labour to support complex civil,
tunnelling and underground works where experience,
judgement and craftsmanship are critical to success.
We employ and deploy hundreds of specialist operatives,
including tunnellers, shaft sinkers, SCL nozzlemen,
pipejack crews, plant operators, supervisors and engineers,
many of whom have progressed through the business
over long careers. This depth of experience allows us to
deliver safely and efficiently in challenging environments,
including live infrastructure, confined spaces and high-risk
underground conditions.
As specialist skills across the industry continue to decline,
we have taken a proactive and deliberate approach to
protecting and growing capability.
We invest heavily in training, mentoring and knowledge
transfer, ensuring traditional techniques such as hand
mining, shaft sinking and sprayed concrete lining are
retained alongside modern mechanised and digital
methods.
Training is delivered through structured programmes,
on-the-job development and continuous assessment to
maintain competence and consistency.
Our commitment to the future of the industry is reflected
in our apprenticeship and early-career programmes,
providing clear pathways into specialist construction roles.
Apprentices are supported by experienced mentors and
exposed to a wide range of disciplines, enabling them to
develop into competent, safety-focused operatives and
future leaders within the business.
By combining long-standing expertise, structured
investment in training and a strong apprenticeship pipeline,
we maintain a resilient and future-ready specialist labour
force. This capability underpins our ability to deliver
complex projects reliably, safely and with confidence, today
and for the long term.
