Technical and Engineering

Projects succeed or fail on the technical people who deliver them. I’ve recruited engineers since my years in Dubai, placing people on airports, hospitals and high-rise towers, and later spent time on the client side of construction, working with architects’ and contractors’ specifications. I understand the roles from the inside.

Who it’s for

Consulting engineers, contractors, developers and infrastructure owners who need technical specialists and technical leaders, in the UK and the Gulf.

How it runs

The same four steps, done properly.

01

The disciplines, the project stage, the codes and standards, the qualifications or chartership required.

02

Search the market

A search across the relevant engineering market, including people currently on live projects.

03

Screen properly

Technical screening against the brief, with right-to-work and professional accreditation checks where they apply.

04

Advise and close

Offer and notice support, including relocation questions for international moves.
