We recruit across Town Planning, Building Control, and Commercial roles - and we do it with precision, pace, and zero fluff.
Building Control is the backbone of safe, efficient Construction. It's not just about following rules. It's about ensuring buildings are sound, safe and accessible. We’re talking structural integrity, fire safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, and public health.
Town Planning recruitment isn’t just about filling roles – it’s about directing the future of our cities, towns, and rural landscapes. We’re talking visionaries who make the land work smarter, meet community needs, and adapt to change before it arrives.
They keep a keen eye on finances, navigate the complexities of contracts, and smooth out procurement processes, all while building strong client relationships.
From the moment a project kicks off to its completion, Commercial roles are there to guide the ship, ensuring everything runs like a well-oiled machine.

Positive and open approach taken by Matchtech, engagement is at the right frequency without bombarding me.

Want to know where the money's at in Building Control? Chartered Building Control Surveyors are top of the ladder in the UK. Master your craft, and you might see earnings north of £50,000 a year. Keep in mind, specialisation pays off. Working in cities like London or with high-profile projects? You're looking at even juicier prospects.
Experience or skills? It’s the classic debate. In Building Control, the smart money’s on balance. Experience gives you the on-the-ground insight to predict and solve issues, but without the right skills - think up-to-date tech abilities and a solid grasp of codes -experience alone may fall short. In the end, combining both opens doors to the best gigs.
Certifications can be your ticket into Building Control. A degree in Building Surveying or Civil Engineering? Absolutely useful. Going further? Check out RICS and CIOB memberships. Also, gaining competencies like LABC qualifications will put you ahead of the pack. These creds don't just polish your CV; they help you talk the talk and walk the walk with the ultimate aim of becoming a registered building inspector
Five years deep in Building Control? Expect to see your skills converted into pounds. Typically, seasoned pros in the UK are looking at earning between £40,000 to £55,000 a year.

Just graduated and stepping into Building Control? Welcome to the field, where entry-level earnings often start between £22,000 and £28,000 annually. But don't let that be your stopping point.
