Built Environment

Building The Foundations For Long-lasting Success

The Built Environment is complex but is essential to economic growth and quality of human life. The demand for dynamic, innovative leaders is greater than ever, as the introduction of new technologies and data analytics is redefining what is possible, with the development of larger and more complex projects.

AGS has access to a global pipeline of elite talent in both commercial construction and infrastructure markets. We offer bespoke talent solutions to our clients to ensure they succeed in securing best-in-class talent, who can be agile and impactful in volatile market conditions.

Infrastructure

AGS Associates and our clients share a world changing vision – making the world a better place through Infrastructure. Our Infrastructure consultants have access to an elite network of talent who have contributed towards delivering some of the world’s most iconic Highway, Bridge, Transit, Rail, Water/Wastewater, Renewable Energy, Natural Resources, and Industrial projects.

Infrastructure is the cornerstone to a well-functioning society; however, it continues to be one of the most underinvested and unmodernised sectors in the world. AGS supports global infrastructure organisations bridge the gap in the struggle to secure and retain best-in-class talent.

Commercial Construction

Talent challenges continue to grapple the Commercial Construction industry. Most organisations, from regional contractors to global enterprises, struggle to attract qualified talent. The impact of this to businesses is significant, as it means projects will be delayed, project bids will be lost, and they will fall behind in the drive to innovate and become technologically advanced.

For the past decade, AGS has been supporting global construction firms build the foundations for long-lasting success through attracting and securing best-in-class talent. Through utilising our accelerated growth strategy and bespoke talent solutions, our consultants have access to an elite candidate pool with experience in delivering high-profile Life Science, Healthcare, Advanced Technology, Manufacturing, Education, Residential, Retail, Mixed-use and Class-A Office projects.

“Throughout the entire process with Arthur, he provided me with all the information to make the best decision for me and my family. Communication was always very open and honest and there was never a feeling that he was trying to push me into something that wasn’t the right fit. At the end of the process, I know that I made the right decision with his help and would recommend him to anyone that is looking to pursue other opportunities.”

“After working with Sal over a few months to find a new position, I found him to be very knowledgeable about the local heavy construction market and committed to finding a good fit for both sides. He was very responsive and always followed up when he said he would. I ended up with a company and position that is a great fit I wouldn’t have been looking at on my own. I would recommend Sal for employees looking to make a switch. You might be surprised to see what’s out there.”
