Our Workforce

Here at Oliver Connell and Son Ltd, we pride ourselves on our resources as they are our frontline and are essential to what makes Oliver Connell & Son Ltd a successful contractor.

As a company we have the capability to self-deliver projects. All our staff and personnel are trained to the industry standard CSCS. As the work force grows with the business, we upskill our labour from basic labour trades to skilled carpenters and supervisors, therefore as a business we retain our own in-house resources for all our projects that we deliver. With an ever-expanding business we are constantly upskilling the work force and training them to ensure compliance with statutory regulations.

We have our own safety team that monitor compliance on projects from a safe system of works, this feeds into our training matrix system which tracks the certificates and accreditations held by our workforce and highlights in advance when renewals are required. This ensures our workforces ability to deliver the project. In addition, the in-house safety team monitors personnel Health Safety Welfare and Fatigue.

As the company has grown and expanded into the Rail sector we have chosen to upskill and develop our existing work force to bring them in line with the Network Rail Standards for Safety with Industry Common Induction and Personnel Track Safety courses.
