Skilled Trades Staffing
Since 1987, CTR Group has delivered skilled trades staffing services to shipyards, manufacturers and industrial employers.
The Skilled Trades Staffing Agency Employers Call First
Welders, pipefitters, electricians and machinists keep shipyards, plants and job sites running, and they are the hardest people to hire. CTR Group has recruited skilled tradespeople since 1987, and our recruiters know the work well enough to ask the right questions about certifications, experience and safety.
As a skilled trade staffing company, we fill single openings and full crews for shipbuilding and ship repair, industrial and manufacturing plants, energy projects and aerospace work. Your supervisors spend their time on the job, not on interviews.
Skilled Trades Temporary Staffing, Contract Crews and Direct Hire
Every project needs a different mix of people. CTR Group offers temporary staffing for peak workloads, outages and short projects, contract crews for long builds, temp-to-hire when you want to try someone out first, and direct hire placement when you want a tradesperson on your own payroll.
We have spent decades building relationships with thousands of skilled trade workers, and we stay in touch between jobs. That network is why we can fill orders quickly when the labor market is tight. When there simply aren’t enough qualified people, our Trades Training Program builds new talent to your standards. These skilled trades staffing solutions scale from one welder to a full shift.
