HR Software Built for the Construction Industry
Manage your workforce across multiple job sites. BambooHR helps construction companies manage HR, track certifications, and keep crews productive and compliant.
Walsh Construction Group
HR built for site-based, subcontractor-heavy construction teams
From Safe Pass expiry dates to right-to-work checks and multi-site clocking, BambooHR gives Irish and UK builders one organised place to keep crews compliant, paid and productive across every project. Grouper implements it for you as BambooHR's authorised partner.
Subcontractor and labour-only onboarding is scattered
Crews churn between projects, and each new starter arrives with their own paperwork, tickets and RCT/CIS status. Chasing documents across email, WhatsApp and paper folders means someone almost always steps on site before their file is complete.
Safety cards and tickets expire without warning
Safe Pass (Ireland) and CSCS cards (UK) have hard expiry dates, and so do plant tickets, first-aid and manual-handling certificates. When these lapse quietly, a worker can be turned away at the gate or fail a client audit on the day it matters.
Site-based clocking never reconciles cleanly
Hours come in from foremen's notebooks, texts and spreadsheets across several sites. Reconciling them for payroll, and proving who was on which site and when, is slow and error-prone — and it undermines any incident investigation.
Records are fragmented across projects and entities
A worker may move between three sites and two trading companies in a month. Without a single record, HR loses the thread on start dates, holiday balances, disciplinary history and who holds which qualification.
How BambooHR handles it
Digital onboarding packs before the first shift
Use BambooHR's onboarding checklists and e-signatures so new crew complete forms, upload their ticket photos and confirm bank and PPSN/National Insurance details from a phone before day one. Right-to-work evidence is captured and stored against the record rather than living in an inbox.
Certification tracking with automatic expiry alerts
Store Safe Pass, CSCS, plant and first-aid certificates as custom fields with expiry dates. BambooHR sends alerts weeks ahead, so site managers renew tickets before they lapse instead of discovering the problem at the gate.
Mobile time tracking tied to the right site
The BambooHR Time Tracking tools let field workers clock in and out from the mobile app, with hours attributed to a project or cost code. Approvals flow to the foreman, then export cleanly to payroll — cutting the notebook-to-spreadsheet shuffle.
One employee record across sites and companies
Centralise each person's history, documents, holiday balance and qualifications in a single profile, with role-based access so a site manager sees only their own crew. Reporting then answers 'who is qualified and available for this project?' in minutes.
