ABOUT THE COMPANY
There are very few companies I would recommend at this level, but this business truly has developed a brand and reputation based on excellence. They can deliver projects of pretty much any size and are currently working with some of the best developers and main contractors in the UK. Current package values range from £10m up to £60m each and include reinforced concrete frames, basements, and associated groundworks. Turnover is set to reach circa £200m over this year and they show no signs of stopping there.
Having met the owners of the business and the directors who head up the various departments, I guarantee that you’ll have the opportunity to work with some of the best in the industry. And more than that, you’ll feel the positive energy coming from each of them concerning the business’s current standings and the growth path they are on. This truly is a business to rival all others in this specialist sector and one that is focused on being the best.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As the Engineering Director of this specialist contractor, it will be your responsibility to manage and lead the whole engineering team across 20+ live sites in and around London. This will include recruitment, development, and career planning at all levels from setting out engineers through to project engineers. You will have involvement in the preconstruction phases to make sure engineering needs are being handled and the right teams are being allocated to each project. This is a pivotal role as the technical requirements of each project differ, and you will be called on by site teams to help problem solve issues and offer guidance when needed. This opportunity will report directly to the construction director and managing director of the business. Current project/package sizes vary from £10m to £60m each and include large reinforced concrete frames/structures, basements, and associated groundworks.
REQUIREMENTS
To be considered all applicants must be degree-qualified in civil engineering or structural engineering. I have been instructed to consider those from an engineering management background or those who have operated at a project management or contracts management level and are keen to move into a position like this. Due to the technical nature of the works involved, candidates must have a proven history working for similar reinforced concrete frames, basements, and groundworks subcontractors in the UK. Outside of that, I am open to having confidential conversations with those interested.

And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.

I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.
Operations Director,

The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement.

When you first contact us, be that through direct contact, responding to an advert or applying through our website, we will connect you with a consultant who works in your specialist area.
Initially, they will arrange a meeting to talk through your CV and career history. They will encourage you to go into detail about your background and experiences, capabilities and responsibilities, personal circumstances and any other factors they feel are relevant to help them build up a well-rounded profile of you.
We take extraordinary care in matching professionals to an opportunity – one that will help enhance their careers and a clients’ team. We therefore also use this meeting to empower you in your career. Using our extensive knowledge of the construction industry, we would provide in-depth overviews of businesses, projects and available roles, and guidance on where your strengths will add the most value and career potential.
After this meeting, the consultant will speak to a number of their clients about you and your CV. Who they speak to can be either jointly agreed upon or you can trust the judgement and expertise of the consultant to contact clients they feel are the best fit for your experience and goals.
If any clients are interested in meeting with you, the consultant will manage the interview process, coaching you before any interviews if required. (Further guidance can be found here.)
If you are successful in receiving an offer(s), our consultant will communicate this with you and help to negotiate the offer(s) and any other terms of employment.
Finally, we will support you in resigning from your current role, navigating potential counter offers and starting your new role.
