We put your career first!

• We understand your role and experience
• We want to know your career aspirations, sector preference and non-negotiables
• We have long standing relationships in the construction industry
• Our advice and service offering is bespoke to you.

Never. We operate with full confidentiality - your CV is only shared once we’ve discussed the opportunity and you’ve given the green light.

We predominantly recruit full time, permanent placements with clients. However, we also work with certain clients on Fixed-Term contract appointments and very occasionally – Freelance or Consultant.

Definitely - we provide technical briefings, interview coaching, and role-specific prep so you walk in with confidence.

In short, “No”.

Chartered status (RICS/CIOB/APM) is preferred by many employers.

We also place non-chartered PM’s and QS’s based on strong experience and technical capability across the consultancy market. It is more challenging within the QS market!

Chartered status typically leads to a higher salary, a larger selection of opportunities, international mobility and internal progression.

Absolutely, we are here to guide and advise both our candidates and clients on current market rates, benefits packages and candidates' expectations.

No problem - we can keep you in mind for future opportunities or have an exploratory chat about your career goals and what might be of interest later down the line. We are also here to provide advice and guidance on the market and how to navigate your career through promotion cycles, end of year reviews, salary reviews and more.
