About CBS

Highways and construction is what we do

Since 2016, CBS Driver Hire and Recruitment has specialised in the crews that keep highways and construction moving, HGV and LGV drivers, driver-operatives, surfacing gangs, groundworkers, traffic management and plant operators. We support main contractors and specialist subcontractors alike, from full surfacing gangs to a single ticketed machine operator.

The right operator for the plant, not just another headcount.

Our Services

Built around specialist, non-standard work

We are better set up than most agencies for bespoke machinery and non-standard jobs. Where a role needs an operator ticketed for a specific machine rather than a general labourer, that is exactly the work we are built around.

Highways & Surfacing

Full surfacing capability: tarmac and surfacing operatives, groundworkers, traffic management and Jetpatcher crews, supplied as full gangs or individually.

Why CBS

The right operator for the plant, not just headcount

Bespoke machinery, not general labour

Where a job needs an operator ticketed for a specific machine, that is the work we are built around. Jetpatcher and specialist plant operatives are a good example. We would rather send the right operator than fill a headcount.

Ticketed, compliant and ready

Every operative is experienced and supplied with the relevant cards and tickets. Compliance documentation, insurance details and rates are available on request.

Gangs at short notice, nationwide

Full surfacing gangs or individual operators, mobilised quickly. Four UK offices and a large national pool mean we can support your regions at short notice.

For Contractors

From a single ticketed operator to a full surfacing gang, CBS supplies experienced, compliant crews ready to mobilise, keeping your programme on track and your sites safe.
