OnBoard Jobs partners with Fencing and Construction Training Ltd to connect trained talent with opportunity
By Onboard Jobs on - 4 minute read time
OnBoard Jobs has launched a new partnership with FaCT (Fencing and Construction Training Ltd), linking our construction-focused recruitment platform with one of the UK’s leading specialist training providers for fencing, highways and site safety.
This partnership is designed to make it easier for contractors, fencing firms and M&E/construction employers to hire people who are not only job-ready but properly qualified and compliant from day one.
Why this partnership matters
For employers in construction and specialist trades, the gap between “available” and “site-ready” often comes down to cards, tickets and compliance training.
With FaCT, we’re tightening that loop:
- Faster access to trained operatives and supervisors – from FISS/CSCS -card ready labourers and installers, SSSTS & SMSTS trained to VRS installers, SSSTS/SMSTS holders and fencing diploma candidates.
- Clearer compliance – candidates aligned to Lantra, CITB and sector-scheme requirements that you already expect on site.
- Less downtime and rework – people who understand CAT & Genny use, power-tool safety, working at height, manual handling and other core risks before they step onto your project.
For candidates, it means more visible routes into roles where their training is directly relevant and valued.
What Fencing and Construction Training Ltd brings
FaCT (Fencing and Construction Training Ltd) is a long-established provider focused on fencing, highways, landscape and wider construction industries across the UK.
Their core offer includes:
- Health & Safety
- Level 1 Health & Safety in the Construction Environment or ROLO ( FISS/CSCS pathway)
- SSSTS and SMSTS health & safety training for supervisors and managers
- CITB touch-screen tests and other core cards/tickets
- Vocational and trade-specific training
- Fencing qualifications (Level 2/3 Diplomas, VRS fencing)
- Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS), including Foundation, Installer, NPSBS, Proprietary Systems, Parapets and TVRS
- EUSR, CAT & Genny, abrasive wheels, power tools, nail guns, working at height, asbestos awareness, first aid, banksman, street works and more
- Flexible delivery

They develop bespoke courses for engineering, manufacturing and sector-specific needs, which is particularly useful for contractors with unique compliance or method-statement requirements.
How the OnBoard Jobs x Fencing and Construction Training Ltd partnership works in practice
This isn’t just a logo swap; it’s a practical pipeline between training and hiring.
For contractors and employers
- Tell us what you need – roles, locations, start dates, and any mandatory tickets (e.g. “VRS-trained operatives with SMSTS” or “fencing installers with Level 2 Diploma and CAT”).
- We match from trained cohorts – we’ll align your requirements with FaCT’s current and upcoming course participants and graduates where possible.
- Interview and deploy faster – candidates come to you with the right training already in place, reducing pre-start delays and failed inductions.
If you have recurring hiring needs, we can plan intake around FaCT’s course calendar so your pipeline stays warm.

For candidates and trainees
- Train with FaCT – complete the right course for your target role (e.g. Level 1 H&S, fencing diploma, VRS, SSSTS).
- Get visible to employers – with your consent, your profile and qualifications can be promoted through OnBoard Jobs to relevant contractors and agencies.
- Move into work quicker – we focus on roles where your specific training and cards are a direct match, not just “construction general”.
Who should get in touch
This partnership is especially relevant if you are:
- A fencing contractor needing installers, supervisors or VRS-trained teams
- A highways or infrastructure firm requiring street works, banksman, VRS or parapet-trained operatives
- An M&E or specialist trades business looking for site-ready labour, supervisors or managers with up-to-date SSSTS/SMSTS training and core safety tickets
- A candidate who has just completed (or is planning) Fencing and Construction Training Ltd training and wants help turning that into paid site work
