Building services engineer inspecting pipework in a plant room

Our Services

Permanent specialist recruitment, plus the market intelligence around it

We do one thing properly: find engineers, supervisors and managers for the built environment. Everything else we offer exists to make that placement stick.

Specialist areas

Where our knowledge is deep enough to be useful

Each area has its own language, its own compliance and its own reasons that good people leave. We work to those specifics.

01 / 07

Data Centres

A core area. Colocation, hyperscale and enterprise facilities where an hour of downtime is a headline, and the hiring bar reflects it.

What that covers

  • 01Critical shift teams & 24/7 rotas
  • 02UPS, generators, chillers & CRAC/CRAH
  • 03HV/LV switching, AP and SAP appointments
  • 04Change control, MOPs and escalation discipline

In practice

What the specialisms look like on site

The same three environments come up in almost every brief we take.

Engineer testing an electrical distribution panel

Power and switchgear

Testing, inspection and authorised person cover for live electrical systems.

Engineers reviewing plans on site

Contract and site management

People accountable for compliance, engineers and client relationships.

Cooling plant in a data centre

Data centres & critical environments

Mechanical and critical shift teams for colocation and hyperscale estates.

Beyond the placement

The bits that stop a good hire unravelling

Sourcing is the easy half. Retention, benchmarking and mobilisation planning are where contracts are won or quietly lost.

Salary benchmarking

Real Building Services data so the package is credible before it goes to market.

Mobilisation support

Contract win to fully staffed, planned backwards from the go-live date.

Retention planning

Counter-offers anticipated and progression mapped, so the placement lasts.

Employer brand input

Straight advice on job adverts and interview process that quietly put engineers off.

How an assignment runs

Six stages, in order

  1. 01

    Brief & site context

    What the plant is, who the team is, and what the last hire found hard.

  2. 02

    Market reality check

    What that role costs today, and what needs to flex if it doesn't add up.

  3. 03

    Targeted search

    Engineers and managers we know, plus a direct approach to the ones we don't yet.

  4. 04

    Screening without exception

    Technical, compliance, commute and shift appetite, before you see a CV.

  5. 05

    Shortlist & interviews

    Honest notes on each person, interviews booked and prepped both ways.

  6. 06

    Offer & aftercare

    Package framed properly, resignation supported, start date protected.
