Clarkson Owens Recruitment

Clarkson Owens Recruitment Limited is a specialist recruitment business founded in 2007 and headquartered in Glasgow, supporting clients and candidates across Scotland, the wider UK and international markets. The firm delivers permanent, contract and temporary hiring solutions with an approach grounded in honesty, transparency and professionalism, and is particularly strong across construction management, quantity surveying/commercial, civil engineering, trades and labour, industrial, and oil & gas/marine. Its civil engineering coverage spans residential and commercial construction, groundworks, infrastructure, drainage, water and utilities (including civils and M&E), renewables and design, while its oil and gas practice recruits across the full upstream, midstream and downstream lifecycle for major drilling contractors and EPC companies onshore and offshore. Consultants place talent from graduate and junior levels through supervisors, engineers, site and project managers and document controllers to senior leadership. The trades and labour team supplies vetted and referenced craft professionals—such as labourers, joiners, bricklayers, plant operators, painters, groundworkers, electricians and plumbers—with relevant certifications to ensure site readiness and compliance. Blending contingency recruitment with tailored search and selection, Clarkson Owens listens carefully to candidate aspirations and client culture and technical requirements to ensure long-term fit, leveraging an extensive network that includes SMEs, mid-market enterprises and global corporations. Typical assignments range from site managers delivering fast-paced retail fit-outs and new build projects, to pipeline, process and reliability engineers, EHS leaders and operations managers in midstream operations, and complete rig and marine teams—including drillers, subsea engineers, chief electricians and mechanics, SDPO/DPO and OIM roles—across drillships, semi-submersibles, jack-ups and platforms. With sector-specialist knowledge, structured screening and responsive communication, the team supports urgent freelance needs as well as strategic permanent hires, offering flexible engagement models that prioritise results and long-term relationships.
