SEDR Recruitment was built from the ground up. The business started in remediation and bulk earthworks and grew through long-term partnerships with contractors delivering major civil engineering projects across the UK. That is where our reputation was built: understanding the work properly and delivering people who fit.
Today, SEDR supports contractors across Early Works and Heavy Civils. We work with those building the country’s infrastructure on frameworks such as HS2, Sizewell C, and the Lower Thames Crossing. Our focus is on the people who make it happen — the foremen, engineers, and commercial professionals who keep jobs moving safely and efficiently.
Early Works is where the groundwork is done — literally and operationally.
We supply the teams who open up sites, stabilise ground, manage logistics, and prepare projects for main works.
Our coverage includes:
We know how critical this stage is.
Delays here ripple through an entire project, so we only work with people who can plan properly, adapt on site, and get the job ready for delivery.
Remediation requires technical knowledge and care.
The people working on these sites need to understand legislation, environmental compliance, and the practical side of delivery.
We work with contractors and environmental specialists delivering sustainable remediation schemes across the UK.
Our network includes:
We know the difference between a lab report and what happens when the bucket hits the ground.
That understanding means we can match the right people to complex ground challenges.
Enabling Works bridges design and delivery.
It is where services, access, and infrastructure come together to make a site workable.
We provide the people who understand how to coordinate multiple packages — from utilities diversions and temporary works through to traffic management and interface control.
The right team at this stage keeps projects safe, compliant, and ready for the next phase.
This is where projects take shape.
We work with contractors delivering highways, utilities, structures, and major infrastructure frameworks.
Our network covers:
We supply Engineers, Foremen, Site Managers, and Project Leaders who understand sequencing, plant management, and the pressures of live delivery.
These are the people who keep progress real — on time, to spec, and within budget.
We are not trying to cover every corner of construction.
SEDR focuses purely on the work that moves the ground, builds the structure, and keeps the programme on track.
Our delivery teams work across:
Operations: site leadership, supervision, logistics, and health & safety
Engineering: setting out, QA, design coordination, and technical delivery
Commercial: cost management, estimating, procurement, and project controls
Each vertical is run by people who know the work and the contractors involved.
That is what allows us to deliver quickly and accurately — without guesswork or long explanations.
We are straightforward to deal with and we deliver what we say we will.
We do not flood inboxes or push unsuitable CVs.
We already understand your projects, the challenges, and the calibre of people required.
Clients come to us because they need a partner who can keep up — someone who gets the pressures of delivery and can respond with people who fit both technically and culturally.
Our work is based on long-term trust, not transactions.
Most of our clients have been with us for years because we make their lives easier, not harder.
SEDR exists to support the contractors building the UK’s infrastructure.
We are not the biggest, and we do not plan to be.
We are focused on being the most reliable.
If you are delivering civils projects and need people who understand the work, talk to us.
We know your world, and we have built our business around it.
