United Kingdom

ROMWOOD Search Associates
The best people in the built environment. Nothing less.
Romwood Search Associates
Romwood Search Associates is a specialist recruitment firm for the construction industry. We place project managers, cost consultants and quantity surveyors, site and construction managers, and engineers with consultancies, contractors and client-side teams. We work across the United Kingdom and the United States, from London, New York and Texas, at every level from graduate to partner.
Most recruiters in this market have never delivered a project. We have. And we are supported by twelve years of recruitment leadership. So we know what good looks like from both sides of the table.
What we recruit
Four disciplines. One market we know well.
We adapt to what each client needs. These are the roles we fill most often, from graduate to director.
-
Project managers
Assistant to director. Programme and development roles included.
The people who take a scheme from brief to handover, on time and on budget.
-
Cost consultants
Graduate to partner. Consultancy and contractor side.
The people who set the budget, control the cost and protect the margin.
-
Contractors and site management
Site manager to project director.
The people who run the site, the programme and the trades.
-
Engineers and data centre specialists
Engineer to programme director. UK and US.
Engineers, commissioning managers and construction specialists for data centre builds.
Why Romwood
Two things most recruiters in this market cannot say.
Sector credibility
We did the job.
Romwood was founded by a project manager with six years delivering schemes at leading UK consultancies, including Gardiner & Theobald, Knight Frank and CPC. The clients included Blackstone, Hudson Pacific, British Land and St Martins. We know what a good project manager looks like because we were one.
Recruitment craft
Backed by people who know how to run a desk.
Behind the desk sits twelve years of recruitment leadership at a major international consultancy, up to Operating Director level. That experience supports every search, so the industry judgement is matched by real recruitment discipline.

How we work
Three disciplines, on every search.
We qualify properly.
We interview every candidate against your brief before you see them. We check the projects they delivered, not just the CV. Then we tell you what we found.
We close from the first conversation.
Salary, notice period, location and reasons for moving are settled at the start. By the time an offer is made, there is nothing left to negotiate.
We handle counter offers before they happen.
We talk about the counter offer in the first meeting, not the last. Candidates decide what they would do before one arrives. So an accepted offer holds.
Our standards
Straight answers, from the first call.
We work to written terms agreed before we start. Every assignment carries a replacement guarantee. We never send a CV without the candidate's clear yes, and we never send one you did not ask for.
Talk to us about your next hire, or your next move.
One conversation is usually enough to tell whether we can help.
