Built for both sides of the hire.
Why Marcus Knightley
Built environment specialists since 1988.
We have recruited in the built environment for over thirty-five years. That depth means we know the products, the specifiers and the people, and we can tell a strong candidate from a strong CV.
Sector specialists
Dedicated desks for main contractors, design, local authority, highways, fit-out and building products.
Consultant-led
A named consultant runs every search from brief to start date.
Confidential
Senior and sensitive searches handled with complete discretion.
Long-term relationships
We work with clients and candidates for years, not one hire.
