A brief built around your business

The right person needs to fit your projects, systems and customers. A growing builder may need someone who can keep purchasing and schedules moving; an established contractor may need stronger estimating, document control or site coordination support.

Roles we can discuss

These are examples of recruitment assignments, not a list of current vacancies or available candidates.

Industry experience behind the conversation

Andrew Greenhow brings experience in construction project administration, document control, estimating and proposals, alongside building industry business development. That background helps turn a general request for “someone good” into a practical brief about the work, systems and responsibilities involved.

How direct recruitment works

You employ or engage and pay the successful person directly. We discuss the vacancy, agree written terms, source and review candidates, and coordinate suitable introductions. Ground Up Recruitment does not provide an on-hire payroll.

Assignments can cover full-time or part-time permanent employment, casual, fixed-term and seasonal roles, and genuine independent contractor introductions. Requirements and suitability are discussed for each assignment.

Clear fees before recruitment starts

Our introductory permanent placement fee is 12% of annual base salary plus GST for a new client’s first permanent placement, with a 30-day exclusive assignment. Subsequent permanent placements are 15% plus GST. A placement fee becomes payable when the candidate starts. Conditional 12-week replacement cover is subject to written terms. Fees for other engagement types are agreed separately.

Start with your vacancy

Tell us about your project pipeline, site and office locations, software, required tickets or qualifications, reporting lines and salary range. We will discuss the role before agreeing the recruitment assignment.

Our initial service area is the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay and Brisbane North. Share the role location so we can confirm whether we can assist.
