We recruit across Town Planning, Building Control, and Commercial roles - and we do it with precision, pace, and zero fluff.
Town Planning recruitment isn’t just about filling roles – it’s about directing the future of our cities, towns, and rural landscapes. We’re talking visionaries who make the land work smarter, meet community needs, and adapt to change before it arrives.
Building Control is the backbone of safe, efficient Construction. It's not just about following rules. It's about ensuring buildings are sound, safe and accessible. We’re talking structural integrity, fire safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, and public health.
They keep a keen eye on finances, navigate the complexities of contracts, and smooth out procurement processes, all while building strong client relationships.
From the moment a project kicks off to its completion, Commercial roles are there to guide the ship, ensuring everything runs like a well-oiled machine.

Harvey is very efficient and provided a great service, understanding our needs and knowledgeable about the sector we operate in.
Adam Good at Matchtech has provided me with a number of good Building Control candidates, and crucially at competitive hourly rates, on a number of occasions over the last 10 years, both at my current local authority and with my previous employer.

Ready to up your earnings game in Construction? You're in the right place. Topping the charts are Project Managers, Construction Managers, and Chartered Surveyors, with salaries often hitting £60,000 and beyond. Specialist roles like Site Managers or Structural Engineers also come with a hefty pay packet, especially when they've got industry track records to match.
Construction is where the action is, and having the right toolset is your ticket in. Beyond the obvious machinery, mastering project management software, blueprint readings, and newer tech like Building Information Modelling (BIM) will give you an edge. Skills-wise, think problem-solving, team coordination, and client communication – the trifecta of getting things done.
In the world of Construction, both experience and skills share the spotlight. Experience hands you insights and the know-how, especially on-site, but it’s the modern skills like proficiency in tech and sustainability practices that keep you relevant. If you’ve got the experience, level up your skills; if you’re skilled, seek opportunities that put those skills into practice.
No Construction background? No worries. If you're a problem solver, a project manager, or great with people, you're already packing the transferable skills that get things built. Industries like manufacturing, engineering, or even logistics provide a great foundation in understanding processes and teamwork, setting you up for success in Construction.
Certifications are your badge of honour in Construction. The CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card is often a must for site work. Other valuable qualifications include NVQs and SVQs, which cater to various specialisations. For those eyeing management roles, a degree in Construction Management can seal the deal. Add some safety training like SMSTS, and you’re good to go.
With five years under your Construction belt, you’re certainly in demand. An experienced professional typically earns between £35,000 and £55,000, depending on their specific role and expertise. Positions like Senior Site Engineers or Quantity Surveyors might even see more, especially with standout accomplishments dotted on their CVs.
Starting fresh in Construction? Graduate roles usually kick off around £24,000 to £28,000 per year. It’s a launching pad that promises robust growth opportunities, especially as you gain hands-on experience and additional qualifications. From here, the sky’s the limit.
We’ve spent decades building networks across Construction. We tap our talent pool, use targeted search, referrals, and boots-on-the-ground knowledge. If they’re out there, we’ll find them.
First, we get to know your business and what you really need - not just what’s written on a JD. Then we advertise (if needed), screen, vet, and deliver the right people - fast.
CV checks, skills assessments, tickets and certs, background screening — the lot. Whether it’s CSCS, SMSTS, or security cleared, we make sure they’re fit for site before day one.
Both - and everything in between. Need temp trades for a week? Sorted. Looking for a long-term project lead? We’ve got that covered too.
Absolutely. We’ve been placing people into Construction for over 40 years. We know what makes teams tick - and what makes a project stall. We don’t just match skills. We match mindset.
