About Advance TRS

Your Specialist Recruitment Consultancy for the Built Environment

Advance TRS is an independent specialist recruitment consultancy dedicated exclusively to the infrastructure and built environment sectors. For over 15 years, we’ve partnered with organisations across rail, water, energy, highways, aviation and the built environment, delivering permanent recruitment, contract staffing, executive search, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and managed workforce solutions.

Our consultants combine deep market knowledge with long-established industry networks to provide strategic, consultative recruitment support that helps clients overcome complex workforce challenges. We don’t simply fill vacancies; we build long-term partnerships that deliver sustainable talent solutions and support the successful delivery of critical infrastructure projects.

We believe recruitment is about far more than filling vacancies. It’s about understanding people, solving challenges and helping businesses and careers grow together.

Whether you’re hiring critical talent or looking for your next opportunity, we provide a consultative recruitment service built around quality, expertise and long-term relationships. For employers, our specialist consultants deliver tailored permanent, contract and executive recruitment solutions, supported by robust compliance, seamless onboarding and a partnership approach focused on long-term success rather than transactional hiring.

OUR STORY

Founded in 2011, Advance TRS was built on a simple belief: recruitment should be specialist, relationship-led and delivered with integrity. What began as a small independent recruitment consultancy has grown into one of the UK’s leading infrastructure recruitment partners, supporting organisations across rail, water, energy, highways, defence, aviation and the built environment.

Throughout our journey, we’ve remained true to the principles that shaped the business from day one -putting people first, building lasting partnerships and delivering quality without compromise. Today, our experienced consultants, dedicated compliance, operations and finance teams work together to provide permanent recruitment, contract staffing, executive search, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and managed workforce solutions, helping clients deliver the infrastructure projects that keep the UK moving.

GIVING BACK

Supporting our communities has always been part of who we are. Since 2011, the Advance TRS team has proudly raised over £155,000 for charitable causes through fundraising events, endurance challenges and community initiatives. From climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya and trekking to Everest Base Camp, to completing Ironman events, marathons, Ride100, the Three Peaks Challenge, charity golf days and countless local fundraising activities, our people consistently go above and beyond to make a positive difference. Giving back isn’t something we do occasionally; it’s embedded in our culture. Together with our clients, candidates and industry partners, we’re committed to creating lasting impact beyond recruitment and supporting the communities in which we live and work
