Premises Mission Critical

People. Power. Infrastructure.

We recruit specialist talent for mission critical construction, from data centre and critical infrastructure builds through commissioning, handover and into operation.

Why Premises

Construction recruitment expertise, applied to critical infrastructure

We have recruited across technically complex construction since 2001, supplying senior talent into clean rooms, laboratories, major M&E and high specification projects. Data centres are a natural extension of the disciplines and networks we already know well.

Track record

Our data centre roots go back to the original dot-com infrastructure boom, when we recruited for pioneering specialist contractors including Bellwater Contracts and Waterfield.

It means we understand how these projects are delivered, know many of the people who have delivered them from the start, and can judge candidates against what the work really demands.
