Leading International Tier 1 Contractor

Our client is a globally recognised construction and development group, known for delivering complex, high-profile projects while maintaining an excellent reputation as an employer. Employee wellbeing, structured career development and sustainable delivery are embedded within the business.

With a strong UK presence and a significant footprint in London, the company delivers major landmark schemes across a broad range of sectors. Internationally, they operate at scale with multi-billion turnover and a substantial global workforce.

They are highly regarded for safety standards, sustainability performance and people development, consistently recognised across the industry for operational excellence.

 

Sector Experience Includes:

Residential | Commercial | Mixed-Use | Healthcare | Education | Defence | Infrastructure

 

A key differentiator is their procurement model. The majority of projects are secured through two-stage negotiation and early contractor involvement rather than high-risk competitive tendering. This ensures strong commercial control, programme certainty and a more stable, structured working environment.

The business is selective in the schemes it pursues, prioritising quality, long-term client relationships and profitable delivery over high-volume bidding.

There is also genuine international mobility within the group, with opportunities to transfer overseas for those with longer-term aspirations.
