ABOUT US

GEDON™ Executive is a specialist search firm for the global construction market, with a focus on quantity surveying, commercial leadership and preconstruction talent. We partner with consultancies, developers, and contractors to appoint the people who shape project outcomes long before site starts — leaders who can build winning commercial strategies, control risk, and grow high-performing teams.

Our work sits at the intersection of technical credibility and executive judgement. For employers, that means a disciplined approach to market mapping, targeted engagement, and rigorous assessment. We understand what strong looks like in quantity surveying: cost planning depth, procurement intelligence, contract mastery, client influence, and the ability to lead through complexity. We don’t send volume — we deliver shortlists of proven operators who improve margin, lift standards, and strengthen your commercial function.

For candidates, we provide clear, expert guidance on roles that genuinely fit your capability and trajectory. We take your preconstruction and live-project experience seriously, represent it accurately, and only put forward opportunities where you can add value and progress. Expect direct feedback, thorough preparation, and a process run with discretion from first conversation to offer and onboarding.

We’re builders of long-term outcomes, not transactional recruiters. Whether it’s appointing a Technical Director, a Head of Cost Management, a Lead QS for a major program, or a preconstruction commercial lead, our standard is the same: precision, integrity, and delivery backed by deep sector knowledge.
