Construction is undergoing a profound shift. As digital tools reshape planning, delivery, and asset management, ConTech has become central to improving productivity, safety, sustainability, and cost control. Live Digital specialises in recruiting professionals who understand both construction realities and modern technology - helping ConTech businesses scale innovation across the built environment.
ConTech - construction technology - refers to the digital tools and platforms transforming how buildings and infrastructure are designed, delivered, operated, and maintained. From pre-construction planning to post-handover asset management, ConTech enables greater visibility, control, and collaboration across complex construction projects.
Key ConTech areas include:
As construction becomes increasingly data-driven, the demand for professionals who can bridge physical project delivery with software, analytics, and automation has grown rapidly. Live Digital supports ConTech organisations by connecting them with talent capable of delivering technology in real-world construction environments.
The UK ConTech ecosystem is closely aligned with the country’s major construction and infrastructure hubs. London remains the largest centre for ConTech activity, driven by large-scale commercial development, infrastructure programmes, and a dense concentration of construction technology start-ups. The capital is particularly strong in BIM software, digital project management platforms, and sustainability-led construction technology.
The Midlands – including Birmingham, Coventry, and Nottingham – plays a significant role in ConTech adoption, supported by major infrastructure projects, transport investment, and modern methods of construction. These regions attract ConTech providers focused on productivity, cost control, and off-site construction technology.
In the North, Manchester, Leeds, and Sheffield support a growing ConTech presence across urban regeneration, digital construction analytics, and project delivery platforms. Liverpool also contributes through port infrastructure, regeneration, and construction logistics technology.
The South East – including Cambridge, Oxford, Surrey, and Hertfordshire – supports ConTech companies working at the intersection of sensors, AI, sustainability, and built-environment research. Scotland’s Glasgow and Edinburgh strengthen the UK ConTech landscape through smart infrastructure, energy-efficient building technology, and digital asset management. These regions represent key hiring markets and natural internal-link opportunities across your location pages.
ConTech requires professionals who understand both construction delivery and digital systems. At Live Digital, we recruit software engineers, platform developers, cloud specialists, and DevOps engineers who build scalable construction SaaS platforms used across planning, delivery, and asset management. These individuals work on tools that support collaboration, document control, scheduling, and real-time site visibility.
Data and analytics are central to modern construction. We support hiring for data engineers, analysts, and machine learning specialists who work with project data, cost models, programme forecasts, safety metrics, and environmental data. Their work enables better decision-making, risk reduction, and performance tracking across complex construction programmes.
Product leadership is another critical area. We recruit product managers, product owners, and technical programme managers who understand construction workflows, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder complexity. These professionals translate site-level needs into practical, scalable digital tools. UX and service designers also play an important role in ensuring ConTech platforms are usable by diverse users, from site operatives to commercial directors.
Operationally, ConTech businesses depend on specialists in BIM coordination, digital construction management, sustainability reporting, safety technology, and OT/IT integration. Alongside these roles, we support hiring across commercial, partnerships, customer success, and growth functions – particularly where ConTech platforms are delivered as SaaS solutions to contractors, developers, and infrastructure clients.
Construction environments are safety-critical, deadline-driven, and highly regulated. We understand these realities and prioritise candidates who can deliver technology within live project environments.
Construction technology must support safety, environmental performance, and regulatory compliance. We prioritise candidates with experience in these critical areas.
Professionals who understand both construction delivery and modern software are difficult to find. Our sourcing approach focuses on proactive outreach and niche talent networks.
