About
A specialist desk, not a general one.
ACR Construction recruits the professional, technical and management staff who deliver construction projects, site managers, quantity surveyors, technical coordinators, project managers and the leadership above them.
- House Building
- Long-established specialism
- Perm & Temp
- Both handled in-house
- Named consultant
- One point of contact throughout
ACR has spent years recruiting for the UK construction market, with particularly deep roots in house building and partnership housing. That experience still shapes how we work, but it no longer defines our reach: today we recruit for main contractors, subcontractors, general contracting businesses, developers and consultancies across the wider construction industry.
Our focus is middle to senior management and the professional disciplines that support delivery. We handle both permanent and temporary appointments, and we work by discipline and geography rather than covering everything from one desk, so the consultant you speak to already knows the businesses, the schemes and the salary levels in your market.
We are deliberately selective about how much work we take on. A shorter list of well-briefed vacancies, worked properly, produces better appointments than a long list worked at volume.
ACR Construction is one of three specialist businesses within ACR Group, alongside ACR Trades & Labour and ACR Executive Search.
Consultants who own a market, not a target list

We handle both permanent and temporary appointments, and we work by discipline and geography rather than covering everything from one desk, so the consultant you speak to already knows the businesses, the schemes and the salary levels in your market.

Four stages, from first conversation to first day
The same sequence applies whether we are filling a site vacancy or appointing a Managing Director. The depth changes, the principle does not.
- 01
Understand
We start with the detail, the scheme, the team, the reporting line and the package, before anyone's CV is discussed.
- 02
Advise
Honest feedback on salary levels, availability and what the market will realistically deliver.
- 03
Introduce
A short, considered shortlist. Candidate details are only ever sent with that individual's consent.
- 04
Support
We stay involved through interviews, offers, resignations and the first months in post.
What clients and candidates say
I've hired through the same consultant at ACR across two different employers now. They understand the type of site manager who works for us, so we see three or four genuinely relevant people rather than twenty.
They were honest with me about what the role was and what it wasn't. Nothing went to the client until I said yes, which is not how every agency operates.

A short conversation is usually enough for us to tell you whether we can help.
