Your M&E Recruitment Partner

At ravensearch, we specialise in Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) building services recruitment across the North-West of England.

Whether you're an experienced professional seeking new opportunities or an employer looking for top talent, we provide a dedicated, results-driven approach to connecting candidates with the perfect roles.

We’ve been recruiting exclusively in North-West M&E building services since 2016. Most of the contractors we work with have come back to us more than once, because we take time to understand the brief properly before we start, and we don’t send CVs that don’t fit.

We understand that recruitment isn’t about numbers, it’s about building relationships and ensuring the right fit for both employers and candidates.

We believe in making the recruitment process as seamless and stress-free as possible. We handle everything from start to finish, ensuring you get personal attention and a tailored service.

Let ravensearch help you take the next step in your career, or find the ideal candidate to drive your business forward.

Mike Halliwell
Cristy Rudd

Gary - M&E Buyer

I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike to anyone looking for a position in the M&E contracting industry. Quite simply, he delivers, he seems to care about his clients and goes that extra mile to ensure a favourable outcome. Definitely a go to guy.

Roy - Project Manager

Mike has been a great help to me over the time I have known him, he always goes that extra mile to help and never failed to deliver what he promises. He is always working hard to get the best option on your behalf. I would recommend him to anybody who are looking for different opportunities in the job market.

Danielle - M&E QS

When I had to leave a company I really enjoyed working for, for personal reasons, Mike made sure that the move was to a company who are a perfect fit my experience and career goals. His communication about the role and throughout the interview process was great and I was really happy with the level of service he gave. I would definitely recommend him to others looking for their next move.
