Construction recruitment that builds certainty

From boots-on-the-ground hires to strategic delivery roles, we find the people who get it built.

WHAT WE DO


Great builds don’t stay on track by accident, it starts with who you hire.

Henton Consulting recruits permanent and contract professionals across the full construction lifecycle, from early-stage estimating and project planning, through to site leadership, commercial control and final delivery.

We work with construction employers who can’t afford to wait, from head contractors and subcontractors to project consultancies and developers. Whether you’re resourcing a new project, replacing a critical hire mid-build, or scaling for a multi-site rollout, we deliver proven professionals with the right track record, fast.

Our clients span health, education, industrial, commercial, fit-out and refurbishment. We support tier-one builders, specialist trades, client-side consultants and government-backed developers, helping them secure delivery talent with the technical depth and operational resilience to perform under pressure.

CONSTRUCTION RECRUITMENT


How we recruit and why it works.

Great construction hiring is about more than experience, it’s about risk, trust and delivery under pressure.

We don’t advertise and hope. We actively map the market, vet delivery history, and approach proven performers, even when they’re not actively looking. Every engagement includes:
