Manchester Construction Recruitment: Project Highlights

Throughout 2020, Linear Recruitment’s Manchester regional office supported a range of major construction projects across Manchester and the wider North West, providing skilled tradespeople, construction professionals and specialist recruitment solutions.

Working alongside established construction companies and new clients, our team helped deliver projects across residential development, student accommodation, commercial construction and public sector refurbishment.

Supporting Major Construction Projects Across the North West

From supplying Site Managers and Telehandler Drivers to recruiting Quantity Surveyors and skilled tradespeople, these projects demonstrate our experience in connecting construction employers with the right people.

These have included working with some of our long-standing clients, such as Create Construction on their Discovery Quay Student Accommodation Project. With a value of £24.5million, this consisted of 404 student bedrooms over 2 blocks, a coffee shop, library, lounge, media wall, gaming area and a double-story reception. We were delighted to have been supported by supplying Site Managers, Hoist Operators, Labour, Banksmen, Telehandler Drivers, Joiners, and multi-skilled Operatives. 

Will Prew, Business Unit Director of Create Construction, gave us some really positive feedback on our services;
“After what has been a challenging year for all, we are pleased to be part of one of the summer success stories with the successful completion of Discovery Quay student accommodation for Bricks Capital. The Project Delivery Team, headed by Andy King, and collaboration with our supply chain, of which Linear Recruitment is one of our key and trusted partners, mean the end product speaks volumes for the commitment shown by all. We can only thank Caroline and her dedicated team for the strength in their support.”

Another project we are thrilled to have been part of was Vistry Construction's “The Approach” in Edge Lane in Liverpool. This consisted of 107 apartments and 38 houses and had a project value of £20 million. We have been working with this project since 2018, supplying telehandler drivers, labour, and Engineering support. 

As well as strengthening our relationships with existing clients, we have also had several new clients come on board. One such new client is GK Construction & Project Management, and we've supplied them with Joiners and Labourers on a number of their projects, including Cheshire Fire and Rescue housing refurbishment schemes and Colwyn Bay Police Headquarters, with a combined value of half a million pounds.

'On We Grow', says Kevin Turnbull, G K Construction & Project Management's Operations Director. 'It's been a busy year for us, especially during these strange times, keeping our key workers moving with contracts completed for Cheshire Fire & Rescue and North Wales Police, as well as our assisted living projects, nicely helped along when needed by Caroline and the team at Linear. We are looking forward to 2021!'

We've worked closely with the owner, David Whyte, to find a new Quantity Surveyor for his rapidly growing team working within the commercial, residential and heritage marketplace.

'It has been a busy year at Pelli Property, where we have seen our clients come through the pandemic to be busier than ever in all our specialist sectors including residential, commercial and heritage projects,' said David. 'We were therefore looking to increase our team with the addition of another surveyor and, having met Caroline at an industry event, chose to work with Linear on this important role. They listened to our individual requirements and understood the need for culture fit into our team and successfully found our new team member. We are looking forward to a prosperous 2021 and being able to work with Linear again.

Since opening our Manchester office in 2014, our aim has been to distinguish ourselves from competitors by providing a high-class service to both clients and candidates that is honest and transparent. We strive to go the extra mile for construction recruitment in the North West. We specialise in housebuilding, main contracting, subcontracting and Civil Engineering and have dedicated consultants working on blue- and white-collar roles, on temporary and permanent bases. Each member of our team is passionate about their ability to provide a high-level consultative service to clients and candidates alike. We are always looking to partner with clients who enjoy this sort of relationship.
