Mission, Vision and Values

The mission of The Redheads Group is to provide engineering services internationally to optimise the productive use of scarce skills for our clients and spearheading opportunities that promote environmentally friendly technologies.

The vision of The Redheads Group is striving to be a preferred provider of engineering services and resources for Europe, Middle East and Africa contributing to the greater good.

59% Black Ownership and 30% Black Woman Ownership

Due to a recent restructuring of our ownership, both Redheads Engineering Solutions as well as Redheads Engineering Services are now over 58% Black-Owned and over 30% Black Women Owned Level 2 B-BBEE Empowering Suppliers. Our clients consequently benefit from a 125% B-BBEE recognition level as well as recognition of Procurement Spend from QSE Empowering Suppliers that are at least 51% Black-Owned and at least 30% Black Women Owned.

Motivation

Our clients as well as our employees have needs – both of which supplement each other in our philosophy, without losing sight of commercial requirements. Our clients expect motivated and highly qualified employees from us as their engineering services provider. This we ensure by embracing the insight of our staff being our most valuable asset. Therefore we ensure a constructive working environment, we pay above-average competitive salaries and we continuously train and develop our employees, in order to attract and retain the best talent.

How we find staff

In the current times of shortages of skilled staff, not only in Southern Africa, but also world-wide, recruitment plays a central role in the operation of us as engineering services provider. Through our recruitment process we ensure that we only employ talent that can add significant value to our customers. Fortunately we are able to rely on an extensive network in finding this talent:

  • We have a comprehensive database of skilled talent, both local and from abroad.
  • We can draw on the Redheads Group’s International expertise and back-up office.
  • Through the Redheads Group’s international operations and our extended international network we can also find the skills you require overseas at competitive rates.

Know How

The combination of the experience and the personality of our employees is what makes up the supports of our clients in the successful execution of their projects. Our employees gain project experience through in-house projects as well as at projects carried out at our clients. Project-oriented development with supporting training is continually conducted as agreed with the individual employee.
