Appointing a construction leader isn’t a hire. It’s a legacy decision
One that influences culture, performance, and enterprise value long after the decision is made. It’s not one you can afford to get wrong.
At GEDON™ Executive, we specialise exclusively in Director, Senior Leadership, and Executive appointments within the Built Environment Sector. We partner with construction boards, founders, and senior leadership teams to identify and secure individuals who can lead businesses, not just projects. From growth-focused contractors to local & global consultancies and developers, our work sits at the point where leadership, commercial performance, and long-term value intersect.
We advise ambitious construction businesses through decisive, high-impact executive search.
Who We Are
Our Services
We operate at the senior leadership and executive tier of the construction and property sector, advising on critical appointments across managing director and general management level, the full C-suite, and executive leadership roles spanning construction, commercial, operations, pre-construction, estimating, and development.
Our mandates typically involve the appointment of chief executive, chief operating and chief financial officers, construction and project directors, as well as senior commercial, operations, and pre-construction leaders responsible for delivery, profitability, and long-term performance.
These engagements most often support organisations undergoing succession planning, strategic growth, operational transformation, market entry, or leadership realignment. In every case, we act as a trusted executive search partner, delivering discreet, research-led search and advisory services rather than transactional recruitment.
