Construction & Engineering Recruitment
Technical trades, construction professionals, project-based talent and operations and maintenance capability for infrastructure, buildings and industrial facilities.
Overview
Construction, Engineering & Infrastructure
International construction programmes run on the reliability of their trades and site teams. MylesPort International supports contractors, developers and engineering firms with skilled and semi-skilled construction talent from Kenya and the wider region, identified against your specification and trade-tested before they are presented.
Every construction mandate starts with the drawings, the schedule and the standard you measure people against. From there we build a sourcing and assessment plan for each trade family, so that the professionals who arrive on site already understand the work, the safety culture and the pace expected of them.
Roles we recruit

Construction & InfrastructureWhy employers choose MylesPort
Evidence before introduction.
- Trade testing is practical, not verbal. Where the role has a craft in it, candidates are assessed on the tools — ideally against a test designed with your site supervisor.
- Certificates and work histories are verified with issuers and previous employers before a shortlist reaches you, so the profile you read is the person who arrives.
- Cohorts can be assembled trade by trade for phased mobilisation, with readiness briefings that cover site safety, tools, climate and living arrangements.
- One accountable contact from requirement to arrival, with structured follow-up through the settling-in period.
Challenges we solve
Where placements in this sector usually fail.
Each challenge below maps to a specific stage of our process that exists to remove it.
01
Trade skills that read well on paper but do not hold up on site, discovered only after mobilisation.
02
Documentation and clearance timelines that slip because they were not planned alongside the construction programme.
03
Early attrition when professionals arrive without a realistic picture of the work, the accommodation or the contract.
How we support employers
The process, applied to this sector.
- Requirement definition: trades, headcount, phasing, site conditions, licences and the assessment standard you want applied.
- Targeted sourcing across registered professionals, technical and vocational institutions and sector networks.
- Verification, practical trade tests and structured competency interviews with written notes for every finalist.
- Readiness and orientation before departure, and coordination of documentation with authorised providers where applicable.
- Deployment coordination and post-arrival support in collaboration with your site management.

- Ask us to explain any contract term before you sign. That is part of the service.
