Road and Highway Construction Recruitment

Alliance Recruitment Agency recruits staff for road and highway construction: road contractors, EPC companies, highway concessionaires, engineering consultants, PSUs and private companies delivering government road contracts. We hire highway engineers, project and site managers, surveyors, QA/QC staff, plant operators and skilled road crews. Once we agree the brief with you, we send a screened shortlist within 24–48 hours.

Road projects run on tight schedules and penalty clauses, and a missing site engineer or paver operator can stop a whole stretch of work. Before you see a candidate, we check their site experience, the project types and equipment they have worked on and their references, and we collect their certificates and licences.

What Does a Road Construction Recruitment Agency Do?

A road construction recruitment agency finds, screens and shortlists people for road, highway, expressway and bridge projects. It knows the difference between roles such as a highway design engineer, a resident engineer and a pavement QC engineer, and it can find people with experience of the right project size, pavement type and equipment, so you can staff a project from mobilisation to handover.

Road and Highway Roles We Recruit For

• Project leadership: project directors, project managers, construction managers, resident engineers, planning engineers, quantity surveyors and cost estimators.
• Engineering and design: highway design engineers, pavement engineers, bridge and structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, traffic and drainage engineers, and land surveyors.
• Site supervision and quality: site engineers, site supervisors and foremen, QA/QC engineers, materials and lab technicians, and HSE officers.
• Plant and equipment: paver, grader, roller and excavator operators, asphalt and batching plant operators, plant mechanics and heavy vehicle drivers.
• Skilled and general road crews: concrete workers, steel fixers, shuttering carpenters, road marking crews and general construction workers. See our construction worker recruitment page.
