Construction and Property Recruitment

Construction and Property Recruitment

The construction and property recruitment sector is resilient. Businesses are finding new opportunities for growth in the face of supply chain disruptions, increased material and labour costs, heightened regulations and lengthy planning periods.

To build on their success, construction and property companies need strong, solutions-oriented teams. Right now, demand for skilled employees outweighs supply - it’s anticipated we’ll need over 26,000 additional construction workers by 2028 (according to the Construction Industry Training Board).

That means lots of competition for businesses looking to attract the best talent. A clear strategy for construction and property recruitment will help to keep companies on the right path.

As construction and property recruitment specialists, our team works with contractors, developers, end user clients and all aspects of design, project management and property consultancy. We are well placed to appoint:

Quantity Surveyors

Project Managers

Estates & Facilities Managers

Architects, Engineers & Technical Staff

Land, Development and Planning Professionals

Construction and Property Clients

New housing and infrastructure projects could see the construction and property in Scotland grow by 2.1% each year until 2028 (CITB). To achieve that growth, businesses rely on their employees and contractors, from apprentices and graduates through to senior leaders.

Skills shortages are a common concern for companies in this area, making a careful approach to hiring important. Construction and property businesses need to stand out to prospective candidates. This doesn’t just mean offering a competitive salary - opportunities for professional certification, career development and pathways to leadership will all attract talent in this sector.

As construction and property recruitment specialists, our team can help to match the right people to your team. We’ll create compelling job descriptions, advise on salary and benefits, and speak with suitable candidates on your behalf. We’ll also vet applicants, conduct assessments and hold interviews, so you can be confident in the value your new employee or contractor will bring to their role.

Contracts can vary within the construction and property industry - we’ll help you navigate the paperwork and regularly check in with your new team member to ensure a smooth start to your working partnership.

The Donaldson Trust recently engaged with Eden Scott and Iain Atkinson to appoint an Estates Lead. Going through a transformation process, this was a critical hire for the organisation as we reposition the organisation moving forward with property playing a key role. Iain met with us, listened to our requirements and presented us with a tailored approach to sourcing, a comprehensive market map of suitable individuals before presenting an excellent shortlist. Whilst going through the permanent appointment, they sourced an interim manager to ensure business continuity within our Facilities function. We are delighted with how the process was handled and would highly recommend Eden Scott’s approach. Our ability to utilise their extensive network within the Property market has delivered an excellent appointment who will help us deliver the property elements of our new strategy.
