DBS Group provides dependable workforce solutions. Our expertise lies within construction, hospitality, and manufacturing, evidenced by years of successful deliveries on real projects. At DBS Group, we have sent thousands of skilled Indian nationals to Russia and Europe in the past few years.

Construction Project Deployment

Workforce Size & Timeline

Initially, for the Moscow 2025 highway repair project, DBS Group provided 250 highly skilled tradespeople, including welders, pipefitters, masons, scaffolders, and steel fixers, within 1 week of confirmation from our client. In addition to short timelines, we faced a monthly budget range; however, we provided a match between our 25,000 candidates and exact roles.

Our candidates had to complete a four-hour practical assessment at the DBS Group's in-house trade testing centres to ensure that only qualified tradespeople (7% overall pass rate) were selected for deployment. Flights, visas, and site orientations were completed within 45 days of recruitment, resulting in a 93% on-time delivery compared to industry average delays. Initially, 50 tradespeople would be needed to perform repairs; within 2 months, 250 tradespeople had been deployed across multiple job sites for small repairs and large-scale reconstruction.

Oil & Gas / Manufacturing Project

In support of one of our Russian clients in 2023, approximately 180 certified welders and pipefitters were required to be sourced in less than two weeks, in order to meet necessary deadlines for the construction of an Arctic pipeline. DBS Group coordinated the Russian work permits (with a 91% success rate), obtaining medical clearances from NABL labs prior to deploying workers, and coordinating cold-weather cultural training.

In addition, DBS Group completed sourcing only 1200 machine operators, quality inspectors, and assembly technicians over 90 days to support an expansion of a manufacturing facility. All contractors were provided bilingual contracts to ensure compliance with EU minimum wage requirements, and onsite coordinators provided first-week buddy pairing and tool familiarisation support. Both of these projects achieved first-year employee retention rates of 92%, twice the reported 65% industry average.
