What's more important in Construction to get the best jobs – experience or skills?
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.

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.

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.

How do you find candidates?
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.
What is your recruitment process?
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.
How do you vet candidates?
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.
Can you provide temporary or permanent staff?
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.
Do you understand our industry and culture?
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.
