Construction firm restructures

23rd September 2020 12:01 pm

Triton Construction, a general construction services provider, has restructured its senior team in the North West.

After five years, Steve Bolton is retiring. Existing staff members are being promoted into regional and operations director positions, working alongside business development director Phil Dyer.

Managing director Paul Clarkson said: “I would like to thank Steve for his dedication and commitment to driving our business in the North West and wish him all the best for his well-earned retirement.

“His departure coincides with the necessity to evolve with market conditions and I am pleased to bring Mark on board with his extensive expertise that compliments the skills of both Chris and Phil.”

Quinn added: “I am delighted to take to the helm at Triton in the North West, where we have carved a great reputation as a partner in all aspects of construction and fit-out, achieving a turnover of near £30m within the North West in 2019.”

Many construction contractors and clients require contractor staff to hold and display Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) smart-cards, which prove their qualifications, before allowing them on site.

Here at Time and Attendance North West, we are an IT partner of the CSCS through our parent company, Tensor plc. This means that we can provide seamless integration between the CSCS smartcard and our WinTA.NET software, which provides time management, visitor/contractor management and fire/evacuation roll-call systems.

The contactless smartcard technology enables a touch-free, COVID-secure entrance and exit policy can be implemented on site.

The integration takes the end-user form of a CSCS “card wizard”. This set of rules allows a company to quickly grant construction contractors recognition by and access to our hardware, such as clocking terminals, turnstiles, and door controllers. The wizard will run one of three scenarios when giving access rights to contractors. These are:

Contractors who are completely new to the system.
Contractors whose name exists on the system but their CSCS card has not been entered.
Contractors who are fully recorded on the system and have used their card at other sites, but are new to this particular site.

For each different scenario the wizard will guide the user through the enrolment procedure. The result is that:

The contractor’s CSCS card is read (using a USB card reader attached to a Tensor.NET Client PC)
Details are extracted from the card to update the contractor’s details within the system
Options such as a company, site, shift group and department are assigned to the cardholder

To make it easier to include new contractors in your site’s existing health and safety and security procedures, please contact us today. We can handle any size site: our Enterprise software is able to perform for global, multi-site corporations with thousands of employees/users, while our Start edition helps small businesses with less than 50 users.
