Carmichael UK

Antipodean Recruitment Specialists

Carmichael UK specialises in placing Aussies, Kiwis and South Africans in Engineering, Surveying and Management roles in the UK Civil Engineering and Construction industry.

More than just great jobs:

  • 95% of our employees are of Antipodean (Australian, New Zealand and South African) origin
  • 90% of our employees stay with us for the duration of their stay in the UK

Why are these percentages so high?

Carmichael management have worked as engineers, travelled around the world and engaged freelancers whilst managing projects for contractors. This gives a unique insight to all concerned in the employment chain and provides an understanding unequalled.

Apart from recruitment into individual permanent positions there are teams which range from 10-30 on one project, generally between 95% and 100% Antipodean. This unique opportunity allows us to provide a stable environment where new arrivals to the UK and less experienced engineers can familiarise themselves with UK terminologies and work practices.

When you join Carmichael, apart from providing an environment suited to your specific needs they also look after many of the practical issues that make it possible for you to work in the UK.

  • Transport to inaccessible projects
  • Mandatory training
  • Accommodation onsite if required

People who join Carmichaels find more then just a great job to go to.
