VHR Civils & Infrastructure in the Middle East
VHR supports civil engineering and infrastructure recruitment across the Middle East, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the wider Gulf region.
Middle East
VHR combines an extensive GCC candidate network with deep technical understanding of the disciplines and project environments that define civil engineering and infrastructure recruitment across the Middle East.
Construction Recruitment
Construction projects move quickly, and delays in hiring can affect programmes, budgets and delivery. VHR helps construction businesses secure experienced professionals who can step into demanding environments and make an immediate contribution. We recruit across the full construction process, supporting projects from pre-construction and design through to site delivery, commissioning and handover. Our candidate network includes site managers, project managers, quantity surveyors, estimators, planners, commercial managers, design specialists, M&E professionals and senior construction leaders.
Every project presents different challenges. Some clients need a single specialist to fill a critical skills gap, while others require several professionals to support a new site or major development. VHR offers contract, permanent and executive recruitment options shaped around the scale, schedule and location of each requirement.
With access to talent across the UK, Middle East and wider international markets, we help construction employers reach beyond their immediate candidate pool. This is particularly valuable for large-scale residential, commercial, transport and mixed-use developments where specialist experience and reliable mobilisation are essential.
Civils and Infrastructure Roles
VHR recruits for a wide range of technical, operational and leadership positions.
Our network includes civil engineers, structural engineers, design engineers, site engineers, setting-out engineers, project managers, construction managers, quantity surveyors, commercial managers, planners, estimators, surveyors, BIM professionals, CAD technicians, M&E engineers and commissioning specialists.
We also recruit senior professionals, including programme managers, engineering leaders, project directors and heads of department. By understanding the technical responsibilities behind each vacancy, we can identify candidates with relevant project experience rather than relying only on job titles.
Contract and Permanent Recruitment
Our contract recruitment service helps organisations quickly access specialist skills for defined project periods, urgent requirements and changing workloads. VHR can recruit individual contractors or support larger workforce requirements involving multiple positions and disciplines. For long-term appointments, our permanent recruitment service combines targeted candidate searches, technical screening and market knowledge to identify professionals who match the position and the organisation. We also provide executive search and managed recruitment solutions for senior, specialist or ongoing hiring requirements.
