Your next construction role, handled personally
Lemon Drizzle Recruitment specialises in permanent white-collar construction jobs. We don’t recruit trades or temporary labour, so the person you speak to understands what you do, the projects you’ve worked on and why one contractor might suit you better than another.
Rachel has recruited construction professionals in the North East for more than a decade. She knows many of the employers personally, so she can tell you what a company is really like to work for, not just what’s in the advert.
