As a small but rapidly growing sector, it is essential to attract new talent from other areas, and we are keen to consider candidates whose skills can cross into the light steel sector.

Recruiting for the Manufacturing sector:

We couldn’t recruit for the offsite sector without a thorough appreciation of manufacturing. Our business was founded on our MD, Jim Roach’s recruitment knowledge from both construction and manufacturing, which led to seeing the need for a specialist recruiter for the offsite sector.

We recognise that offsite manufacturing for construction has particular needs. Not just to keep moving forward towards better or world-class methodologies, but also the unique factors which relate to construction, and the need to appreciate both manufacturing and construction’s needs.

We have placed many hundreds of manufacturing professionals across timber frame and engineering, modular, light steel frame, pods, and many more specialist areas, and have the widest knowledge and understanding of requirements and vacancies across this growing and developing area.

We recruit from Director level manufacturing and operations roles, through production management, and specialist professionals including:
