Irwin Recruitment

Irwin Recruitment is an independent recruitment agency built on industry expertise and personal service, connecting M&E and construction businesses with the people they need to deliver their projects.

Shaun's story

After more than 25 years working in sales within the property and construction sectors, I decided to launch my own recruitment agency to combine my industry knowledge, extensive network, and genuine interest in building long-term business relationships.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with clients across the construction industry, and developed a real understanding of the challenges businesses face when sourcing reliable, skilled professionals. I saw a need for a recruitment partner that understands the sector, values relationships, and offers a personal service rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

How we work

Building strong relationships has always been at the heart of what I do. By taking the time to understand each client’s business, culture, and hiring requirements, I can provide recruitment support that adds real value and supports long-term growth.

My goal is simple: to connect great people with great businesses, with an honest, professional, and responsive service that clients and candidates can rely on.

Our approach

We believe recruitment is about more than filling vacancies. We take the time to understand each client’s business, culture, and project requirements, so we can put forward candidates who are the right fit — not just the closest match on paper.

Whether you need freelance support on a live project or a permanent addition to your team, our approach is built on industry knowledge, honesty, responsiveness, and personal service.

Our mission

Our mission is to become a trusted recruitment partner to businesses across the M&E and construction sectors, known for delivering quality talent, exceptional service, and long-term relationships.

We want to be known for our industry knowledge, reliability, and commitment to getting it right. Whether supporting a client with an urgent freelance requirement or helping them build a permanent team for future growth, our focus is always on a recruitment experience that is straightforward, transparent, and built on trust.

Let’s talk.

If you’re looking for a recruitment partner who understands M&E and construction and takes the time to get it right, we’d be glad to help.
