Client overview

My partner, a premium residential developer in London, required expert recruitment support for their landmark high-rise residential tower project in central London. This prestigious development demanded exceptional technical leadership to ensure compliance with building safety regulations and design excellence.

The challenge

My partner needed a highly skilled Technical Manager to lead their BSR Gateway 2 submission and coordinate the design team throughout the construction phase. The role required specialised expertise in building safety regulations, technical oversight, and leadership abilities - a combination rarely found in the current competitive construction market.

The approach

I implemented a tailored recruitment strategy combining data-driven talent mapping, strategic advertising, and a consultative process to identify and secure the ideal candidate for this critical position.
