For two decades, Solution has supported the people and businesses behind construction and infrastructure across the UK.
What began as an independent recruitment business in 2006 has grown into specialist divisions covering permanent and freelance hiring across the built environment.
The business has changed with the market, but the principle behind it has stayed consistent: keeping people at the heart of every search.
Solution’s story is inseparable from our incredible team. Some have worked together for more than two decades with others at the beginning of their careers learning off our veterans. That mix of experience and new thinking gives the business continuity and unrivalled experience at the same time as bringing through the next generation.

David joined Solution in 2015 and specialises in freelance and permanent recruitment across civil engineering, infrastructure and rail. His experience includes major UK programmes such as Crossrail and HS2, alongside long-running highways and rail frameworks.

Solution has remained independently run throughout its 20-year history. That independence allows the business to make decisions around the needs of its clients and team rather than external shareholder pressure. It also supports the way Solution prefers to work: close relationships, specialist teams and direct accountability.
