Our services

Every project hits a different hiring pressure. Maybe you've just won a contract and need a team on site in weeks. Maybe a key person has resigned mid-job. Or maybe you need a senior leader and can't advertise the role. We work three ways, depending on how long you need someone, how senior the role is and how quickly you need them.

Permanent recruitment

Building a team that stays past this project?

ExploreClose

For the people who will run your jobs and your business for years. We look past job boards to the people who are doing the job well somewhere else right now. We check their project history, the kind of work they've delivered and why they'd move, so you meet a shortlist, not a pile of CVs.

How it works
  1. Briefing on the project, team and site conditions
  2. Targeted search and direct approach
  3. Screened shortlist with honest notes on each person
  4. Interviews, offer and notice period managed for you
  5. Check-ins after they start
Best for
  • Project, construction and site managers
  • Engineers, planners and commercial staff
  • Growing a team after a contract win
  • Hard-to-fill technical roles
Contract

Contract & fixed-term

Need someone on site quickly, for a set period?

ExploreClose

For live projects that can't wait. We line up experienced contractors who have done the job before and can start fast. That includes people who are FIFO-ready, inducted and used to remote sites. Screening still happens properly; it just happens faster.

How it works
  1. Quick call on scope, duration, rates and roster
  2. Available, pre-screened contractors put forward
  3. References and tickets checked
  4. Start date, mobilisation and extensions coordinated
Best for
  • Project ramp-ups and mobilisation
  • Shutdowns, commissioning and handover phases
  • Leave, resignation and coverage gaps
  • Peak workloads without adding headcount
Executive

Filling a senior role you can't advertise?

How it works
  1. Confidential brief with the hiring leaders
  2. Market map of who's out there and where
  3. Discreet approach and in-depth interviews
  4. Shortlist report and support through to offer
Best for
  • Project and construction directors
  • Operations and general managers
  • Confidential replacements
