Senior & Executive
We partner with construction businesses to recruit senior and executive leaders who drive strategic change and deliver complex projects. We identify high-calibre talent with the leadership skills, sector experience, and commercial acumen to navigate an evolving construction landscape.
Legal
Our legal recruitment specialists work closely with construction clients to place experienced professionals across a range of areas, including contentious and non-contentious construction law, environmental law, planning, commercial property and contract management. Whether you need a construction litigation expert or a Non-contentious Solicitor, we have the network and expertise to find the right candidate.
Finance & Accountancy
Accurate financial management is critical to the success of any construction or infrastructure project. We recruit finance professionals across the sector, and our candidates have the specialist knowledge needed to manage budgets, assess risk, and deliver strong financial governance within construction environments.
Technology
The construction sector is evolving rapidly with the introduction of digital technologies, AI and data-driven project management tools. We recruit IT and technology specialists who can drive innovation and efficiency. Our technology recruitment services ensure construction businesses stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly digital-first environment.
Our recruitment services
At Sellick Partnership, we offer a range of tailored construction recruitment services to meet the evolving needs of our clients. We understand that no two projects or teams are the same, which is why we provide permanent, temporary, and fixed-term recruitment solutions designed to align with your goals, timescales, and budget.
Permanent recruitment
Our permanent recruitment service is ideal for businesses seeking to secure long-term talent to support sustained growth or transformation. We take time to understand your business, culture, and technical requirements, ensuring we place candidates who not only have the right skills, but who will thrive in your environment.
Temporary recruitment
We offer fast, reliable access to skilled interim professionals who can step into roles at short notice – whether to support project delivery, cover leave, or respond to peaks in workload. Our network includes experienced contractors and professionals who bring immediate value and flexibility within construction and infrastructure businesses.
Fixed-term recruitment
For project-based or time-limited needs, our fixed-term recruitment service helps clients hire professionals for defined periods – without the long-term commitment. This is often the perfect solution for maternity cover, secondments, or long-duration construction programmes where stability and continuity are key.
Key trends in the construction sector
The construction and infrastructure sector is undergoing a period of significant transformation, driven by industry-wide challenges, regulatory pressures, and technological innovation. These trends are influencing how organisations hire — and what professionals are looking for in their next role.
Growing focus on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
Women and underrepresented groups continue to face significant barriers, especially in senior and technical roles. More organisations are actively working to improve representation and are looking to recruitment partners who understand how to build diverse, inclusive teams. Our consultants support this by promoting fair recruitment practices and helping clients create inclusive job briefs and candidate shortlists.
Sustainability, net-zero and environmental compliance
With government-led infrastructure strategies and net-zero targets accelerating, demand is rising for legal and professional services talent with expertise in environmental law, sustainable developments and green compliance frameworks.
Technology and digital transformation
The integration of AI, BIM (Building Information Modelling), and data analytics is reshaping the way construction companies operate. Professionals with experience in digital contract management, automated compliance systems, and IT transformation are in increasing demand. As digital maturity grows, we’re seeing construction businesses prioritise tech-literate professionals who can adapt to these tools.
Pressure to reduce time to hire
With niche roles and competitive talent markets, construction companies are under pressure to move fast – without compromising on quality. That’s where our recruitment approach makes a difference. We help clients refine briefs, access passive talent pools, and streamline shortlisting to reduce time-to-hire and avoid project delays caused by unfilled critical roles.
Increasing role of infrastructure investment
Public and private infrastructure investment – in sectors such as transport, utilities, energy, and housing – is fuelling demand for highly skilled professionals. As the UK government continues to back major infrastructure development, organisations require talent that understands the nuances of working within regulatory frameworks and large-scale, cross-sector projects.
