The right people are not applying
The director you need is mid programme on someone else's site, with a bonus to vest and a team that depends on them. They do not read job boards. Someone has to call them.
Greystone Selection is a specialist search firm for senior construction professionals in Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf. Programme directors, commercial leads, BIM managers: the people who carry delivery. Approached directly, assessed against your brief, and presented only when they fit.
Success basis. No placement, no fee.
Announced project pipeline across Saudi real estate, infrastructure and giga programmes.
Giga projects in delivery at once, each competing for the same senior people.
The deadline every programme in the Kingdom answers to. Nobody is hiring slowly.
Market figures, not ours. We publish no invented placement stats. The point stands: demand for senior delivery people outruns supply.
The director you need is mid programme on someone else's site, with a bonus to vest and a team that depends on them. They do not read job boards. Someone has to call them.
Schools, housing, rotation patterns, a spouse's career. Senior candidates need a straight conversation about what the move actually involves, not a sales pitch that falls apart at offer stage.
Two hundred CVs from a portal is noise with a deadline attached. What you need is a handful of people who can do the job, want the job, and will actually arrive.
The desk covers leadership and senior technical roles for developers, PMCs, consultants and contractors.
Single point accountability for time, cost and scope on major programmes and packages.
BIM managers and digital delivery leads. Common data environments, 4D and 5D, ISO 19650 in practice rather than on a slide.
The control functions that keep claims down and certificates moving. Quality, planning and commercial managers.
Construction managers, MEP leads and infrastructure heads. The people who run the site, not just the report.
Planners, risk and estimating leads, technical authorities. The quiet roles that decide whether the dashboard tells the truth.
If the role is senior and it builds something, it is in scope. Ask, and we will tell you honestly whether we can run it.
Candidates come from outreach and professional networks. Every person is spoken to and measured against the role before you ever see a name.
We sit with the role: scope, reporting line, location, package realities. Then we map who holds this job today across the region.
Direct outreach to people who are not applying anywhere. This is where the search earns its keep.
Every candidate is interviewed against the brief and briefed on the role, the project and the move before going forward.
A handful of people who fit, not a folder of maybes. Salary benchmarking and availability come as part of the search.
Support through offer, resignation and notice, until the candidate is on site. The fee is only earned when they start.
We work on a limited number of assignments at any time, and we only get paid when a placed candidate starts. That changes how a search behaves.
Engagement is on a success basis. The risk of the search sits with us, which is why we only take briefs we believe we can fill.
A limited number of live assignments at any time. Your role is worked on this week, not queued behind forty others.
Shortlists are built on fit against the brief. If we cannot help with a role, we say so at the briefing call and save everyone a month.
The desk is built around KSA demand: Riyadh, the giga programmes, and the supply chain delivering them.
Covered as a secondary market, often for the same clients and the same candidate pool.
Senior construction roles across Qatar's post World Cup pipeline of infrastructure and development work.
The questions clients and candidates usually open with. Anything else, ask directly.
No fee is due unless a candidate is placed and starts in the role. There are no retainers and no upfront commitments. The risk of the search sits with us, not with you.
Senior construction across the board: programme and project directors, BIM and digital delivery, QA/QC, planning and commercial, MEP and infrastructure leadership, project controls and senior technical roles. We do not run junior or volume recruitment.
KSA is the primary market and where most of the desk's time goes. The UAE and Qatar are covered as secondary markets, often for the same clients and from the same candidate pool.
Market mapping against the brief, then direct outreach through professional networks. The people worth approaching are usually employed and delivering. Job boards reach the people who happen to be looking; a search reaches the people you actually named in the brief.
No. You are spoken to first, assessed against the role, and briefed on the project and the move. Your details go to a client only with your consent, and conversations stay confidential either way.
A role brief: scope, reporting line, location and package range. A short call covers it, and you will get an honest answer on the same call about whether the search is one we should run.
One conversation is enough to tell whether this is a search we should run. Send the form or write directly. Either way you deal with the person doing the work.
