Construction & Engineering
Placing the professionals who build the UK's commercial and industrial landscape.
WHO WE RECRUIT FOR
Midlands-rooted. Nationally networked.
MapTalent has spent over a decade placing construction and engineering professionals with some of the most respected names in the sector. From Tier 1 main contractors to established regional building contractors, we understand the pressures clients face and the calibre of candidate that makes a difference.
Our Construction & Engineering practice covers the full project lifecycle. Whether you need a Pre-Construction Director to win the work, a Contracts Manager to run it, or a Senior Site Manager to deliver it — we have the network to find the right person, quickly.
We recruit across the West and East Midlands from our Birmingham headquarters, and our 30-year network takes us wherever our clients need us. Permanent and contract. White collar and blue collar. Mid-level through to C-suite.
Who we work with
Our client base spans the full spectrum of the commercial and industrial construction market:
- Tier 1 main contractors operating across multiple regions
- Regional building contractors delivering commercial, industrial and mixed-use schemes
- Specialist sub-contractors requiring skilled management resource
- Developer-led projects requiring embedded commercial and pre-construction expertise
How we recruit
We do not send you a database search result. Every brief goes through a structured process: we qualify the role in detail, research the market for active and passive candidates, compile a longlist, conduct our own interviews, and present a shortlist of genuinely suitable people — with references where required.
Our recruiters average 15–20 years of sector experience. They know the projects, the contractors, and the people. That network is your competitive advantage when you need to hire quickly and hire right.
"A network built over 30 years across the UK and beyond — in construction, that's everything."
