Birmingham is building HS2’s Curzon Street terminus and Washwood Heath depot, extending the Metro to Dudley and regenerating huge areas of the city. Bernoullis delivers construction recruitment in Birmingham and across the wider West Midlands for rail, civils, industrial and housing contractors, checking every card before anyone starts.
HS2 and Regeneration Drive Construction Recruitment in Birmingham
HS2 has made Birmingham one of the busiest construction cities in Europe. Curzon Street, Washwood Heath and the routes in between need civils engineers, groundworkers, steel fixers, M&E trades and site managers. Regeneration around Digbeth, Smithfield and the city centre adds residential towers and offices.
Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull and the Black Country bring EV plant work, Metro extensions and housing. Construction recruitment in Birmingham means competing with HS2 for good people, so we help employers offer steady work with a short commute.
