Engineering Construction Workforce Solutions

Central European Staffing supplies skilled tradesmen and other labour to shipyards, power plants and engineering construction companies, for both temporary assignments and permanent placements.

We recruit from the UK, from Poland, from other Eastern European and from Asian countries.

We are very much aware of the high quality requirements of the Shipbuilding, Oil & Gas and Energy industries. Our recruitment process includes not only search and selection, but also verification of skills and practical assessment, usually conducted with Client participation.

Central European Staffing conducts and provides professional tests for tradesmen. The Client is able to observe candidates performing specific tasks during assessment or when undergoing certification exams. Overall, we focus mostly, but not exclusively, on recruiting and providing tests for:

  • Coded Welders (TIG, MMA, MIG/MAG etc.) – Read more about welder recruitment
  • Blaster sprayers and spray painters (e.g. NORSOK)
  • Scaffolders (IMBIGS qualifications)
  • Pipe fitters
  • Mechanical fitters
  • Riggers
  • Fabricators and others

Tests include visual inspection of work, destructive and non-destructive tests and certification. Our partner testing facilities meet the necessary qualifications and are fully equipped to train, test and certify tradesmen.

Our effectiveness has been verified by numerous clients, including leading companies in the industry. Our references are available upon request.
