Trades & Labour Recruitment
Trades and labour is the backbone of every construction project. Phoenix Gray specialises in supplying skilled tradespeople and CSCS-verified labourers to contractors, subcontractors, and developers across the UK — from single operatives to volume labour packages for large programmes.
How We Work
Our trades and labour division covers the full spectrum of construction site roles — from CSCS card holders and general operatives through to specialist first-fix and second-fix tradespeople. We understand the difference between a groundworker who can drive plant and one who cannot, the importance of a JIB-approved electrician on an IET-governed site, and the pace at which a busy site manager needs gaps filled. We recruit with these details in mind — and our candidates are vetted to match.
