In a sector with so many niche roles, it pays to use a specialist like us. Someone who knows the concrete difference between asphalt and macadam. And understands that you should never send a BID Manager to do a BIM Manager’s job. Or vice versa.
Having provided specialist recruitment in the construction and civils sector since 2003, we have a deep appreciation of the challenges involved in meeting ever more ambitious health and safety and sustainability goals. We also understand the importance of championing diversity and are proud to have given a number of executive-level candidates their first opportunity in the sector. It’s just one of the reasons several industry titans use us on a preferred supplier basis.
We can provide a recruitment strategy that covers all areas of construction, from engineers and site leadership through to procurement and technical managers and of course senior commercial and project executives. Need a whole team assembled? No problem. In the past we’ve placed entire multifunctional managerial teams of as many as 12 people under exceptionally tight timeframes – essential when contracts often include hefty penalties for late delivery.
Here are just a few reasons why we’re trusted to deliver in this sector:
- We have 17+ years of specialised sector experience, including placing key roles within construction materials, building products, nuclear, and the renewable energy sector, builders’ merchants & DIY retail, HVAC, network access and civil engineering and the increasingly popular modular building industry.
- Our trusted approach involves evaluating the unique culture of your business to ensure candidates will not only complement your existing construction teams but provide a rich mix of contrasting skills that will enable you to deliver your projects more effectively and efficiently.
- We can help you source talent under the radar, operating with a high degree of confidentiality to ensure you secure the best candidates available from across the globe without risk of breaking any non-solicitation agreements.
- We have successfully placed and headhunted talent in over 42 countries.
- Thanks to our proactive approach to recruitment we already have a worldwide talent pool of over construction professionals, with many more leading candidates also on our radar.

In their own words
“Martin Veasey Talent Solutions are different to many other recruitment agencies as they provide a very personable service for their prospective candidates. They very much practice what they preach!
When I first met Roheela for my initial interview it felt very much like an interview with the company. She was very knowledgeable about the job role, but also about the business, their culture, and more specifically the management team and their personality profiles in terms of where I could fit into the business. This really helped me prepare for the interview in the correct way, but also gave me an understanding of whether I felt I could fit into the team, which from a candidate’s point of view is very important if you are looking long-term. The level of detail provided about the role was also second to none and the role has lived up to the expectation set out at the start."

Bedfordshire, East Midlands UK
Are you a Sales Executive at the top of your game?
Maybe you've left college or university, taken a job in sales and reached a high level of achievement in your industry.
Life is good. You're earning decent money.
But perhaps you're wondering what's next? Have you reached a ceiling but have the ambition and drive to go further?
Our client is looking for someone like you. They work in the commercial finance industry and want a rising star to develop into a superstar through their fast-track sales management programme.
You'll be working alongside the Managing Director, Operations Director, and Sales Director, who will all give you first-hand training of their business to help you develop into a Sales Manager in 18 months. As part of that training, our client will support and pay for you to obtain your LIBF Diploma in Asset Finance (DipAF), if you wish.
Currently, you may be working in a role such as prestige car sales, high-end property sales, or capital equipment, or other B2B or B2C sales and you'll have learned the art of consultative selling. You'll have developed your communication skills to work with companies of all shapes and sizes. And that variety is one of the key features of this role. For example, you could go from talking to a small wine-bar owner about finance for new fridges to the FD of a £10m business wanting finance to purchase a fleet of commercial vehicles.

As such, you'll be able to flex your time-management muscles and enjoy your sales commission being paid shortly after the client is onboard.
As you rise through the business, you'll then mentor, train and lead other sales executives to bring through the next generation of brokers in the business. And to top it all you will also benefit from an override commission on earnings generated by the team, as well as many other market-leading benefits.
