Glasgow-based business Search Consultancy has opened a new office in London.

Due to growing demand for trades and labour staff on construction projects in the city region, six new consultant positions will be created at the Search Construction West London offices.

The roles will be recruited across a range of trades and labour in the construction/civil engineering markets, including new builds, fit outs and mechanical and electrical posts. In addition, Search will target the growing infrastructure market within the civils and utilities sectors.


Patrick O'Reilly, Director at Search Construction, said: "Following what was a year of significant growth for Search in 2017, I am delighted to be starting a new year with the expansion of our construction arm to capitalise on the ever-growing opportunities within the capital.

"In expanding to London, we hope to continue to grow our partnerships with our existing client base, as well as generating new business by tapping into the large number of development projects throughout the region. We're now actively looking for individuals with direct experience within the construction sector to join us on this journey."

Debbie Caswell, COO for Search, said: "Construction recruitment was one of Search's founding specialisms when the business launched in 1987. What makes our recruitment offering unique across the UK is that many of our consultants have had direct experience working on site in construction, meaning that they are true industry specialists who really understand and appreciate specific project demands and requirements."
