Specialist M&E recruitment for the projects powering the UK's future.
Solar farms, data centres, commercial fit-out, industrial and residential — we supply skilled M&E labour
What We Do
Labour Supply for M&E and Construction
Electrical is our core. We supply skilled trades and labour to commercial, industrial, and residential projects across the UK — from a single JIB Gold Card electrician on short notice to multi-gang mobilisations on long-running programmes.
Sectors we serve: commercial fit-out, industrial facilities, high-rise residential and apartment blocks, solar farms and renewables, data centres, and healthcare.
Trades we cover: Electricians (JIB Gold Card), mechanical fitters, pipefitters, ductwork installers, sprinkler fitters, BMS engineers, commissioning engineers, mates, improvers, general labourers, plant operators.
Every operative is CSCS or ECS verified, right-to-work checked, and matched to your scope before they step on site.
Renewables & Data Centre Specialists
Solar farms are at the heart of what we do. We've supplied labour to some of the UK's largest utility-scale solar PV installations, and we understand the pace and compliance demands these projects carry.
Solar PV: DC/AC electricians, string and inverter technicians, ground-mount installation crews, O&M technicians, project managers.
Heat pumps: ASHP and GSHP installers, MCS-certified engineers, retrofit coordinators, design engineers, large-scale district heating commissioning.
Data centres: mechanical and electrical fitters, commissioning managers, BMS and controls engineers, CQV specialists, HV/LV engineers, critical environment technicians.
Executive Search & Headhunting
For the commercial and leadership roles you can't afford to get wrong — Project Managers, Contracts Managers, Estimators, QSs, Commercial Directors, Operations Directors, Pre-Construction leads. We headhunt passive candidates from across the M&E, renewables and data centre sectors and present a tight shortlist, not a CV firehose.
