The industries we actually work in.

Mission-critical delivery is where most of our current work sits. We staff hyperscale and colocation builds end to end, from civils and structures through MEP installation to commissioning and handover, on programmes where a slipped energisation date costs more than the building.

Roles we place: Project Directors, MEP and Commissioning Managers, Electrical and Mechanical Leads, CSA Managers, Package Managers, QA/QC and Commissioning Engineers.

Worked with: Turner & Townsend, Winthrop, CBRE, Mace, WT Partnership, Synergy Mission Critical, JLL

Defence is the single largest category in our tender pipeline. We work across the defence estate and the engineering firms that supply it, where security clearance and a genuine track record narrow the field to a handful of credible people.

Roles we place: Programme and Project Managers, Commissioning Managers, Contracts and Commercial Managers, Engineering Leads, Cleared M&E specialists.

Worked with: Horstman, Rolatube

The widest part of the market and the backbone of most of our clients' order books: offices and fit-out, mixed-use development, hospitality and multifamily residential. We place the commercial and delivery leadership that protects margin on schemes where the programme is fixed long before the design is.

Roles we place: Project and Development Directors, Commercial Managers, Senior Quantity Surveyors, Estimators, Design Managers, Fit-out Leads.

Worked with: Turner & Townsend, Savills, Winthrop, CBRE, Thrive Living, Mace, Punjab Tourism, CCi, a Rimkus company, WT Partnership, Procon Consulting, JLL, KSNPM, The Primestone Group, Ruiz Consulting Services

Heavy civil engineering, from highway schemes and structures to tunnelling and major earthworks. This is contract-heavy work where NEC and FIDIC administration, compensation events and delay analysis decide whether a job makes money.

Roles we place: Contracts and Commercial Managers, Senior Quantity Surveyors, Planners, Tunnelling and Structures Engineers, Project Managers.

Worked with: Mace

Water and wastewater treatment, network renewal and the wider regulated utilities. Long framework programmes with owner-side clients, where the commercial and project controls capability matters as much as the engineering.

Roles we place: Framework and Programme Managers, Commercial Managers, Project Controls Leads, Process and MEICA Engineers.

Power generation, transmission and distribution, and the renewables programmes reshaping both. Substations, wind and solar, battery storage and grid connections, plus the owner-operators and EPCs delivering them.

Roles we place: Project and Package Managers, HV/Electrical Engineers, Commercial Managers, Grid Connection Leads, Commissioning Engineers.

Worked with: Turner & Townsend, CCi, a Rimkus company, Rolatube

Rail infrastructure and transit systems, covering track and civils, signalling, electrification and station works. Possessions-driven programmes where delay and disruption claims are a permanent feature of the commercial picture.

Roles we place: Commercial and Contracts Managers, Senior Quantity Surveyors, Signalling and Electrification Leads, Planners, Delay Analysts.

Worked with: Mace

Acute hospitals, clinical and diagnostic facilities and healthcare estate programmes. Almost always phased around a working building, which puts a premium on delivery leaders who can hold a programme together in a live clinical environment.

Roles we place: Project Directors, Healthcare Planners, MEP and Commissioning Managers, Cost Managers, Estates and Capital Programme Leads.

Worked with: CBRE, Axias, WT Partnership, KSNPM, Ruiz Consulting Services

Higher education campuses, schools and specialist research facilities — including work with the public bodies that commission and fund them. Long-horizon capital programmes with tight academic-year constraints and public procurement rules throughout.

Roles we place: Capital Programme Managers, Project Managers, Cost Managers, Procurement and Contracts Leads.

Worked with: UKSBS & UKRI, Axias, KSNPM

Airport terminals, airside works and aviation infrastructure. Programmes run around a running airport, under some of the most demanding phasing and contractual regimes in construction — Dublin Airport Authority's NEC implementation is work our partnership has led directly.

Roles we place: Programme and Project Managers, NEC Contract Administrators, Commercial Managers, Airside Delivery Leads, Cost Managers.

Worked with: Axias

Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing, cleanrooms and laboratory environments. Validation-heavy work where commissioning, qualification and documentation are the critical path, not the concrete.

Roles we place: CQV and Commissioning Managers, Process and Utilities Engineers, Project Managers, Quality and Validation Leads.

Worked with: Ruiz Consulting Services

Nuclear new build, life extension and decommissioning. Decade-long programmes with the most demanding assurance, procurement and contractual requirements in the sector; our partnership has run NEC procurement on Sizewell C directly.

Roles we place: Procurement and Contracts Managers, Commercial Managers, Project Controls Leads, Cleared Engineering and Commissioning staff.

Manufacturing and industrial facilities, from production lines and plant upgrades to the specialist engineering firms supplying them. Output and uptime are the measure here, so the people who matter are the ones who can hold a line running while the works go on around it.

Roles we place: Production and Operations Managers, Manufacturing Engineers, Plant and Maintenance Leads, Project and Commissioning Managers.

Public-sector capital programmes and the shared services and funding bodies behind them. Nearly every tender we track sits under a public procurement regime, so the people who work here have to be as comfortable with the framework as with the build.

Roles we place: Procurement Leads, Framework and Programme Managers, Commercial Managers, Cost Managers, Contract Administrators.
