Search Help

Thank you for choosing to search for a job with Project Resource, in order to commence your search please enter your criteria in the fields provided and then press 'Search'.

The following is intended to help explain the purpose of each field so you can best use it to find only the most relevant jobs.

Our search options are split between Quick and Advanced search options.

Quick Search Options

Enter Keyword
This is a free text field, when you run a search our database will search for any jobs where the words you have typed here occur in the job title or the job description. This is useful if you have specific remuneration requirements e.g. car allowance or are looking for niche project work.

Please remember than unless you use quotation marks e.g. "planning engineer" then the database will return anything with the separate words, in this case planning or engineer, in no specific order. This can lead to results which are unhelpful.

Profession
This filters the database by overarching profession e.g. Commercial & Quantity Surveying, Planning or Design Management .

Job Title
If you have selected a Profession you can further refine your search by selecting job titles from the job title dropdown menu. For example within Commercial & Quantity Surveying you would have the options to search for Quantity Surveyor, Senior Quantity Surveyor or Commercial Manager roles.

Location
Under location you will be presented with a series of drop down menus allowing you to refine the location in which you wish to work. If you were happy to work anywhere within the South West you should select Europe --> United Kingdom --> South West whereas if you specifically wanted to work in Bristol you should select Europe --> United Kingdom --> South West --> Bristol. Remember the more flexible you are on location the more likely you are to find a job matching your other criteria.

Perm/Contract/Any
By selecting the perm or contract box you will limit your search results to only permanent or contract vacancies. By selecting any you leave your search open to either.

Advanced Search Options

To access the advanced search options press the 'Advanced Search' link at the bottom left corner of the search menu.

Company Type
This allows you to filter for specific company types for example main or sub contractors, consultancies or end clients.

Industry
The industry drop down menu allows you to search for work within specific industries for example civils, energy & power, highways and utilities.

Salary
By using the drop downs marked as either 'per annum' or 'per day' you can specify your salary requirements. Remember that per annum refers to permanent salaries whilst per day refers to contract rates. If you have selected to search for both permanent and contract vacancies and wish to specify your salary requirements you will need to select an option from both drop downs.

Location within & Miles of
Enter a town or county name or postcode in the 'Location within' box and a number in the 'miles of' box and our database will search for vacancies within the specified distance of that location. This allows you to look for work within a specified distance from your own front door.
