A New Way to Build Your Team

Select Appointments are delighted to announce the establishment of a brand-new construction recruitment desk focused on the East of England.

The construction industry saw a strong end to 2018, recording an all-time high (since monthly records began nine years ago) of £14 billion in just November. This growth has accelerated the requirement for white-collar construction staff and Select Appointments has seen a strong increase in demand. With a marked skills-shortage across the UK that is affecting almost all industries (read more about it here), it has become of paramount importance for businesses to partner with a knowledgeable and experienced recruiter with plenty of contacts. That’s where we come in.

Our Construction Desk

Our construction desk is headed up by Georgia Wastell. Georgia joins us from a leading UK construction and regeneration group, where she spent 2.5 years creating contacts across East Anglia and learning the industry inside and out. “I love working in the construction industry, the variety of people that you get to meet and the exciting projects that you get to see grow is truly inspiring,” said Georgia. “I am so glad I get to maintain my contact with the industry and am really looking forward to working with everyone in a different capacity to before.”

Bolstered by her previous knowledge, Select’s high-standing in the region and a well-established engineering desk, our construction desk is now open for business. Offering you a comprehensive recruitment service for white-collar construction positions, including but not limited to:

Project Manager
Contracts Manager
Estimators
Health & Safety Manager
Business Development Manager
Marketing Manager
Site Manager
Architect
Structural Engineer
Civil Engineer
Building Surveyor
Planners
Quantity Surveyor
Architectural Technician
Senior Management Positions
Customer Care Manager/Quality Manager

Our white-collar construction recruitment desk will work in parallel to our industrial desk who provide blue-collar staff to a wide variety of industries from construction to manufacturing.

Looked After Very Well

“Select were pro-active in finding me temporary work and, as a result of one of their short-term assignments, I was called back by the same company for five weeks and then offered a six-month contract by that company. I was looked after very well by Select, administratively and in finding me work, and I am most grateful for their efforts on my behalf.”

Cannot Thank Him Enough

“I am very thankful for what Select have done for me. At first, I was getting no interviews and literally no hope for any jobs. I applied to Select for an advertised job, which was in my area of expertise and my Consultant thought I was highly suitable for this job and he gave me a chance, so he put me forward. He sorted out all the interviews, communicated well with me and never left me out of sync. I cannot thank him enough for the high standard of customer service and perseverance to get me the job that I am in now!”

Select Job Seeker

Completely Understand Our Requirements

“We have been extremely happy with the service Select has given us. Our Consultant seemed to completely understand our requirements and saved us a huge amount of time putting forward the right people for our vacancies. We will definitely be using Select again!”

Select Client

Changed My Life

“I am so happy you have no idea! You have helped change my life and I can now start a fresh and long lasting career. I cannot thank you enough for considering, helping and guiding me all the way through.

I will certainly be recommending you and Select recruitment to anyone I know. Thank you for everything!”
