Specialist practice
Construction & Engineering Recruitment
Projects slip when the wrong people are on site or in the commercial team. We find engineers, planners, quantity surveyors and project leads for contractors, consultants and developers working in the UAE and the GCC.
Tell us about the project first: the stage it's at, the contract it runs under, the client and the consultant. A planner on a design-and-build hospital job needs different experience from one on an infrastructure package. We look for people who have done that kind of work in the region, and we ask them what they actually did on the projects they list. Knowing Primavera P6, Revit or Navisworks is a start. Knowing when a programme is about to slip is what you're paying for.

How we can help
Permanent recruitment
You're hiring for the long term. We find, vet and introduce people, and you employ them directly.
Executive search
For director and head-of roles we run a confidential search and approach people who aren't on the market.
Contract hiring
You need someone for a fixed period, to cover a gap or see a programme through. We find and introduce them, and you employ them on a fixed-term contract.
Project-based hiring
A new contract or tender means several hires at once. We plan the roles and timing with you and fill them together. Everyone we introduce joins your payroll, not ours.
You employ the people we introduce. Whether the role is permanent, fixed-term or part of a project, the person joins your company and your payroll. We don't employ, sponsor or second staff ourselves.
For construction and engineering professionals
If you work in construction and engineering and you're thinking about your next move in the Gulf, send us your CV. We'll tell you honestly about the roles we're working on and where you'd fit, and we'll only put you forward with your agreement. We never charge candidates a fee.
