Construction Recruitment in Hampshire
Home › Construction › Locations › South East › Hampshire
Hampshire has the Solent Freeport, the Fawley refinery investment, the Portsmouth naval base and busy housing markets around Basingstoke and Eastleigh. Bernoullis delivers construction recruitment in Hampshire for civils contractors, industrial builders, housebuilders and fit-out firms, with every card checked first.
Ports, Industry and Homes: Construction Recruitment in Hampshire
The south of the county is dominated by Southampton and Portsmouth, where ports, the naval base and the Freeport tax sites need heavy civils and industrial building. The north, around Basingstoke, Farnborough and Andover, has more commercial and housing work.
That means two quite different talent pools. Construction recruitment in Hampshire has to match the right people to the right end of the county, especially where sites need security clearance or industrial tickets.
- Solent Freeport tax sites
- Fawley refinery and hydrogen plant
- Portsmouth naval base works
- Housing in Basingstoke, Eastleigh and Winchester
