Engineering Recruitment

Engineering successful recruitment outcomes across the built environment

Our Approach to Engineering Careers

Over many years, Building Environs has delivered a variety of permanent and temporary recruitment solutions to small, medium and large consulting engineering firms within civil and land development, structural and façade consultancies. Additionally, we represent Building Services consultancies who across the full range of Building Service specialties, including Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic, Fire, Refrigeration, Security and Audio Visual (AV).

More recently have become one of the few Melbourne & Southeast Queensland-based recruitment specialists operating across the Engineering disciplines, who provide a tailored retained recruitment solution to systematic and meticulously head hunt Senior and Executive roles on behalf of specialist engineering firms.

Within the specialist Engineering disciplines noted, we focus on delivering Retained Recruitment Solutions for senior and strategic hires.  We partner with Engineering consulting firms to undertake deep, robust searches into the candidate market and head hunt Engineering specialists into these strategic roles, often undertaking these assignments when other recruitment organisations have struggled to source the ideal candidate.

Data-driven recruitment

We utilize the latest scientific tools to offer our clients a comprehensive overview of a candidate’s suitability. Among other methods, we invite candidates to complete Soft Skills and DiSC profiling assessments to better understand both their skills and their personality. In doing so we provide our clients with all the information they need to identify and connect with the perfect candidate.

Projects can be delayed, but your next hire doesn’t have to be
