Permanent Construction Recruitment
Finding the right permanent hire in construction takes more than posting a job advert. The best site managers, quantity surveyors, project managers, and construction directors are rarely actively looking — they need to be found, approached, and persuaded. Phoenix Gray's permanent recruitment service combines a targeted headhunting approach with a deep understanding of the UK construction market.
How We Work
We work closely with contractors, developers, and construction businesses to understand not just the technical credentials required, but the culture, programme type, and team environment that will make a hire succeed long-term. We headhunt, screen, and present only shortlisted candidates — saving your leadership team time and protecting your project delivery. Our fee structure is transparent and our candidates are thoroughly referenced before any offer is made.
