Specialists in the built environment
We specialise
Design & Construct’s extensive client base now
includes regional, national and international main
contractors, specialist sub-contractors, architectural
practices, surveying practices and construction
consultancies.
Our team
The agency consists of a team of passionate, driven
and personable consultants who have a high level of
commitment to their clients and proven skills in their
chosen sectors. We understand the motivations of
our clients and candidates, so our consultants are
in the right position to match the expertise and skills
of a candidate with the needs of employers. We
observe the highest standard of ethics, confidentiality,
professional conduct and have experience recruiting
candidates at all levels, from graduates through to
board level directors.
Leading Australian-based agency
January 2004 marked the birth of our agency and a
new, innovative approach to recruitment in this sector.
Founder and Managing Director, Ephram Stephenson,
saw a need for a recruitment solution that was
personalised, intelligent and tailored to every client and
established Design & Construct to disrupt out-dated
recruitment processes and prove that forging long-
term recruitment partnerships was the way forward.
For 14 years Design & Construct have created
and nurtured professional relationships with clients
and candidates and have successfully placed over
10,000 people into permanent jobs and over 25,000
people into temporary assignments at every level of
engineering, architecture, construction, property and
building industries, nationally and internationally. Since
inception, tailored recruitment has been at the heart of
Design & Construct and is the key reason why 95% of
clients return to us and 97% are happy to refer us to
their most trusted industry contacts.

talented people already employed, our highly trained
consultants headhunt, leverage networking, referral

open days, industry conferences and seminars to

The right employees are the basis of any successful
company. We won’t ever waste your time by sending
candidates that are not appropriate because where
time is money, speed and quality is of the essence.

Our assurances
What we look for in candidates
Your people are your biggest investment and your
most important asset, so settling for second best is
not an option.
We have great confidence in our candidates, which
comes from closely working with them to identify their
needs, and taking proactive action to ensure they are
fully informed of the expectations of their potential
employer and making sure their expectations of the
role are accurate and realistic.
Regular contact is maintained throughout the early
stages of the recruitment process to ensure the smooth
progression of the appointment. This aids in ensuring
our candidates remain employed for the duration of
the project or contract.
Our guarantee
We have 100% confidence in the candidates we put
forward, which is backed up by our peace of mind
guarantee. We conduct extensive reference checks
to ensure the suitability of the candidate for the role.
However, if a candidate we place with you leaves your
employment within the first 3 months we will replace
them free of charge.
With our head office based in Sydney and offices in
Brisbane and Melbourne, we’re able to source staff
at short notice for metropolitan and regional areas
wherever you are and wherever you need them.
