Our servicesRecruitment services for Building Services and MEP
Specialist recruitment for consultancies, contractors and engineering professionals across the UK.
What we doFYA Technical Recruitment is a specialist recruitment partner for the Building Services sector, helping consultancies, contractors and manufacturers find engineering talent that traditional recruitment often can’t reach.
We take the time to understand your business, then introduce carefully selected candidates who fit professionally and culturally. For engineers, we offer honest career guidance and market insight, so every move is an informed one.
Permanent Building Services and MEP Recruitment
Building services engineering covers the systems that keep buildings safe, comfortable and efficient: heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical power and lighting, water and drainage, fire and security, lifts and building controls. Recruiting for this sector takes more than matching job titles.
We recruit permanent hires on both sides of the industry. For M&E and building services consultancies, who design and specify these systems, we place Mechanical and Electrical Design Engineers from graduate to associate level, alongside Public Health Engineers, Sustainability Consultants, CAD and Revit Technicians and BIM professionals. For M&E contractors, who install, commission and maintain them, we recruit Mechanical and Electrical Project Engineers and Project Managers, Design Managers and Estimators.
Because we work only in this sector, we understand how these roles differ and what each hiring manager needs.
Salary Benchmarking and Hiring Insight
Good hiring decisions rely on good information. Alongside recruitment, we give clients the market intelligence to compete for talent in a changing market. That includes salary and market benchmarking, hiring strategy advice, employer branding insights and support with succession planning.
Whether you’re setting a salary for a new Mechanical Design Engineer, working out why offers are being turned down or planning a team’s growth over the next few years, we’ll give you an honest view of what the market looks like.
Executive Search and Leadership Appointments
Senior hires shape the direction of a business, and the strongest candidates are rarely on the open market. Our executive search service supports consultancies, contractors and manufacturers appointing Technical Directors, Design Managers and other senior leaders, up to board level.
We start by understanding your growth plans, your team structure and what the role needs to deliver. Then we approach and assess candidates with the experience and standing to deliver it. Adam remains hands-on in every assignment, so senior appointments get senior attention, and we can support succession planning where you’re thinking further ahead.
Headhunting and Market Mapping
Many of the best engineers aren’t scrolling job boards. They’re busy delivering projects, and they hear about new opportunities through people they trust. Headhunting is how we reach them. With more than 15 years of relationships across the UK Building Services sector, we can approach specialists directly and introduce them to your business.
Before a search begins, our market mapping shows you where the talent you need sits: which businesses employ them, how the market is moving and who is worth approaching. Every candidate we put forward is screened for technical ability and cultural fit before you meet them.
