PEAK Technical Staffing

Skilled Trades Staffing Services

Lack of qualified skilled trades workers is a top reason why construction and industrial projects fall behind schedule. These workforce constraints are caused by a myriad of factors that aren't likely to ease anytime soon.

Over the past 50+ years, PEAK has built relationships with experienced, credentialed tradespeople, including industrial electricians, CNC machinists, welders, HVAC technicians, tool & die specialists, and more. Instead of waiting 70+ days to fill a critical role, let us help you find the right person fast.

How We Engage

Service Offerings

Direct Placement

Skilled tradespeople are in such high demand that most will only consider direct, permanent placements. We help you craft the most compelling offer to attract and retain them.

Contract Staffing

For project sprints, deadline crunches, unexpected coverage gaps, and other special cases that don't require a permanent hire, flexible contract staffing engagements can be your best bet.
