leadership & Director-Level construction appointments

Appointing the right leader isn’t a hire — it’s a strategic decision.

At GEDON™ Executive, we specialise exclusively in Director, Senior Leadership, and Executive appointments within the construction and property sector.
We partner with boards, founders, and senior leadership teams to identify and secure individuals who can lead businesses, not just projects.

From growth-focused contractors to established consultancies and developers, our work sits at the point where leadership, commercial performance, and long-term value intersect.

Our Focus

We recruit at the top end of the construction leadership market, supporting appointments including:

  • Managing Directors

  • General Manager

  • Operations Manager

  • Chief Operating Officers (COO)

  • Chief Executive Officers (CEO)

  • Chief Financial Officers (CFO)

  • Construction Directors

  • Project Directors

  • Commercial Directors

  • Pre-Construction Directors

  • Estimating Directors

  • Heads of Construction, Commercial, Operations, or Development

Whether the requirement is succession planning, growth, turnaround, or market entry, we operate as a trusted search partner — not a transactional recruiter.

Get Started

We operate differently — by design.

Senior appointments demand discretion, judgment, and deep market intelligence. GEDON™ Executive was built specifically for this level of hiring.

What sets us apart:

  • Construction specialists only
    We work solely within the construction and built environment sector — no dilution, no generalism.

  • True executive search mindset
    We don’t rely on job boards or reactive processes. Every appointment is driven by targeted market mapping and direct engagement.

  • Access to passive leaders
    Many of the best Directors and C-Suite professionals are not active in the market. We know where they are — and how to engage them.

  • Commercially astute advice
    We understand P&L responsibility, risk, margins, delivery models, and stakeholder pressure — because our candidates live it every day.

  • Discreet, confidential execution
    Particularly critical for succession, replacement, or sensitive leadership change.

  • Tier , Tier 2 & Tier 3 Contractors
