We are not a recruitment business. We are a people business.
Get In TouchConnecting major infrastructure projects with specialist talent in commercial, project controls and project management professions
The best senior project controls managers, commercial leads, and principal engineers aren't browsing job boards. They're already working—on your competitor's programmes. We proactively headhunt the professionals your projects actually need, not just whoever applied. No job boards. No wasted time. Just the right people, briefed properly, ready to deliver.
Who is this for? Infrastructure clients hiring 5+ roles per year and need solutions.
We prepare graduates for infrastructure delivery before they start. Every candidate goes through our Infrastructure Accelerator: learning commercial fundamentals, contract awareness, programme culture and professional standards. Your early career professionals arrive, ready to roll, knowing what they have signed up for and able to add value straight from school, college or university.
Who is this for? Infrastructure clients hiring 10+ early career professionals annually
We help infrastructure clients hit social value and EDI targets by building diverse talent pipelines you can't access through conventional channels. We maintain relationships with women in infrastructure, ethnic minority professionals, career changers, ex-military, and local communities. Your commitments become a competitive advantage, not a reporting headache.
Who is this for? Infrastructure clients who need to build a diverse team
I've seen teams crumble.
I've worked on infrastructure programmes where everything was going to plan—until the senior quantity surveyor left.
Or the commercial manager didn't understand NEC Option C.
Or the graduate QS lasted three months before realising infrastructure wasn't what they expected.
I've watched project directors scramble to fill critical roles while the margins slipped and reporting was not true
I've seen commercial managers waste months interviewing and hiring people who looked good on paper but couldn't deliver on a live programme.
That's why I started MB3 Associates.
I'm not a recruiter who learned about infrastructure from LinkedIn.
I've lived it.
I understand what makes a project controls manager succeed on a major programme versus struggle.
I know the difference between someone who can use Primavera and someone who can actually drive programme recovery.
And I know that hiring the wrong person doesn't just cost you money - it costs you time, quality and credibility with your client.
We don't fill roles. We build teams that deliver.
