Construction Management recruitment
Sam brings a practical, organised, and detail-driven approach to construction management recruitment.
With a background across quantity surveying and construction administration, she understands how much work sits behind a well-run project - the pricing, coordination, documentation, communication, and follow-through that keeps everything moving. That experience gives her a strong understanding of the pressures construction teams face both on site and behind the scenes.
Before moving into recruitment, Sam worked closely with construction professionals across commercial and residential environments, giving her first-hand exposure to the way project teams operate, the roles people play, and the importance of getting the right people into the right seats.
Sam now specialises in Construction Management recruitment, working with high-quality professionals across the following roles and project environments:
Specialising in roles:
Project types covered:
Interiors & fit-out
Construction administration and project support
She partners with clients who value reliability, communication, and people who can actually deliver, not just look good on paper.
Known for being approachable, organised, and straight-up, Sam takes the time to understand what clients need and what candidates are looking for. Her focus is simple: match good construction people with roles where they can add value, fit the team, and get the job done properly.

Luke brings discipline, consistency, and a results-driven mindset to construction management recruitment.
Competing as a bodybuilder taught him early that success isn’t about motivation — it’s about turning up, doing the work, and staying focused when things get uncomfortable. That same discipline underpins how he works with clients and candidates today.
With recruitment and sales in his blood, the industry was never far away. Before committing to recruitment, Luke cut his teeth across hospitality and even worked as a hairdresser as a teenager — experiences that sharpened his ability to read people, build rapport quickly, and communicate with confidence. When he moved into sales, it clicked immediately.
Luke now specialises in Construction Management recruitment, working with high-quality professionals across the following roles and project environments:
Specialising in roles:
Project types covered:
He partners with clients who care about delivery, culture, and long-term fit — not just filling a seat.
Known for being straight-up and dependable, Luke takes the time to understand how people actually operate on site and behind the scenes. His focus is simple: place the right construction
professionals into roles that align with their experience, career goals, and the real demands of the project. No buzzwords. Just results.
