Infrastructure
Keeping business moving
The infrastructure function provides organisational structures and support services needed for the operation of the organisation it serves, whether a city, a nation or a corporation. With growing populations, environmental issues and the constant drive for operational efficiency, major investment is being made in infrastructure. Artemis is well placed to assist companies operating in this sector.
Building services and facilities management
This is a rapidly growing sector; many organisations are choosing to outsource non-core activities to specialist service providers. The building services sector covers a wide range of B2B activities that keep businesses fully operational, encompassing both ‘soft’ services such as catering, cleaning, reception and ground maintenance; and ‘hard’ services including air conditioning, mechanical and electrical. Facitilities management embraces all the running and operating of buildings, whether offices or manufacturing plants. It also includes companies which specialise in taking over public sector activities under a direct or PPP/PFI contract to provide ‘whole life’ contracts in health, education and defence, for example. At Artemis, we provide executive recruitment services to companies across this spectrum.
Construction
Civil engineering, social housing and the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ campaign are all receiving heavy investment. Skill shortages in these areas mean that staffing issues are paramount – an area in which we can make a real difference. Our executive search-led business model has helped achieve our enviable success rate in ‘hard to find’ disciplines.
Transportation
Some major projects in this sector, particularly in new rail developments but also in road building, make this a vibrant area currently. Enhanced transport links for the 2012 Olympic Games are also having a positive effect. We have a skilled team specialising in this field, with some outstanding contacts in the market place.
Utilities
The utilities sector covers water, gas, electricity and related businesses. This is a great market place with lots of opportunities, many of them government-backed. Energy management and efficiency, carbon reduction and companies striving to reduce operating costs are all driving this sector forward, and will do until at least 2050. This is creating a buoyant market and attracting in new talent from outside the sector. We have a dedicated team specialising in this area. Our consultants are knowledgeable, fully abreast of the latest developments and trends. They can provide companies with recruitment solutions to enable them to grow and develop their teams.
