The new function forms part of Dornan’s Talent Acquisition team and provides a dedicated point of contact for skilled trades and labour professionals interested in building their careers with the company. The initiative is designed to strengthen direct engagement with candidates, enhance the recruitment experience, and support Dornan’s growing portfolio of projects.
The appointment of a Trades & Labour Manager represents the next step in Dornan’s evolving recruitment strategy. Working alongside the company’s existing recruitment channels, the role will focus on building relationships with prospective employees and providing a clear route into opportunities across Dornan.
