Denis Draia

Sales Manager

Currently serving as Divisional Head at QCS Staffing, leading the Energy & Heavy Lift division with a focus on driving strategic growth, building high-impact partnerships, and delivering tailored staffing solutions to some of the most complex and dynamic projects worldwide. My philosophy for success is working in an open & honest partnership, which I find provides trust and longevity in dealing with many of my clients who I now consider friends.

Outside of work you will find me on a football pitch, skydiving, scuba diving, travelling the world, petting dogs, and trying to argue that I don't look like the Chef from ‘Ratatouille’!

I have to say it’s always a pleasure to work with Denis
We have been working for a long time with QCS and Denis. I started to work with him in August 2021. I have to say it’s always a pleasure to work with Denis. He is always on top of things, and always pro-active. In our business, finding people is quite hard, but Denis always has a solution. Words can’t express how magnificent it is to work with him, and I would go so far and say he is not just a supplier for us, but he is also a friend.
