Helping Irish construction and infrastructure employers fill hard-to-source roles through a structured, compliant international recruitment partner.
Book a 10-Minute CallConstruction businesses are under real labour pressure
Across Ireland, construction and infrastructure firms face the same pressures: a shortage of competent trades, key site roles staying open too long, and an ageing workforce. Local hiring alone often can’t close the gap — and an unfilled role usually costs more than solving it: overtime, lost productivity, slipped programmes, and work you simply can’t take on.
Operis introduces. RP Sourcing delivers.
What Operis does
- Acts as your local Irish point of contact for the solution
- Listens to your labour gaps and current and future role requirements
- Introduces and connects you to RP Sourcing’s managed recruitment process
- Provides industry context and ongoing relationship support
Operis is an authorised ambassador for RP Sourcing. We make the introduction and support the relationship locally — we do not employ, supply or place workers ourselves.
What RP Sourcing does
- Sourcing & matching candidates to your role requirements
- Screening & assessment — interviews and skills testing
- Training — English language and role-specific preparation
- Permits & admin — paperwork, employment permits and travel
- Mobilisation — organising the worker’s arrival in Ireland
- Integration support — onboarding for employer and worker
Direct-hire model — workers are employed directly by your company. RP Sourcing manages the international recruitment process; Operis makes the introduction.
Who this is best suited for
✅ Best fit
- Specialist & M&E contractors
- Steel, welding and installation firms
- Formwork, Rebar, Concrete operatives
- Residential delivery firms
- Structured main contractors
- Industrial, pharma and data-centre contractors
- Infrastructure employers with repeat labour demand
⚠ Less suitable at the outset
- Very small builders without onboarding capacity
- Firms seeking only short-term casual labour
- Businesses not set up for direct-hire employment
This works best where demand is genuine and sustained, and where the employer is structured to onboard and retain direct hires properly.
