Strengthening Peryer Construction’s Project Delivery Team

Understanding the Client’s Needs

Our work with Peryer Construction began on a non-exclusive basis, supporting them in their search for a new Quantity Surveyor (QS). Over several months, we introduced a number of strong candidates—but none quite hit the mark. It became clear that something more targeted was needed.

At our suggestion, Peryer’s leadership team paused to reassess their needs. Through collaborative conversations and strategic guidance from One Eighty Recruitment, the outcome was a sharper, clearer brief: rather than one QS, the business needed two critical hires—a Senior Quantity Surveyor to focus on contract administration and job delivery, and a Projects Manager to assist with planning, programming, and supporting the site delivery team.

Both roles were pivotal to Peryer’s growth plans, and while the technical requirements were significant, cultural fit was absolutely essential.

An Exclusive Partnership and Tailored Campaigns

Recognising the importance of getting these hires right, Peryer made the decision to engage One Eighty Recruitment on an exclusive basis. This partnership allowed us to take a more strategic, focused approach to the search.

We developed tailored campaigns for each role, proactively promoted the Peryer brand in the market, and tapped into our extensive referral networks and candidate outreach systems. The goal was clear: build strong, targeted shortlists and represent the roles in a way that resonated with the right candidates.

Staying the Course

As is often the case in recruitment, the process wasn’t without its twists. We met with a number of strong candidates for both positions and came close to successful placements more than once. But in each case, the culture fit wasn’t quite right.

Rather than compromise, we worked closely with Peryer to refine the approach and continued the search with care and persistence. The result? Two outstanding hires—professionals who not only bring the technical capability required but also the temperament, communication style, and values alignment that make them a seamless fit within Peryer’s high-performing, people-first culture.

The Result

Peryer Construction is now equipped with two senior professionals who are set to make a lasting impact—delivering on technical requirements while contributing to the long-term development of the business and its culture.

This outcome reflects the power of exclusive, strategic recruitment partnerships and our commitment to getting it right—even if it takes a little longer.
