Executive Search Built for Engineering, Civil Engineering & Technology
Alexander Executive Search is a specialist executive search and leadership recruitment firm focused on engineering, civil engineering and technology markets worldwide. We partner with ambitious organisations to identify, attract and secure senior professionals who bring technical expertise, commercial leadership and long-term strategic value.
From infrastructure and industrial engineering to digital transformation and emerging technologies, we support businesses operating in complex, highly competitive environments where leadership quality directly influences growth, performance and reputation.
Our approach is built on discretion, sector understanding and a commitment to delivering appointments that create measurable impact.
Our Story
Alexander Executive Search was founded by Keith Fox in 2016 to provide a more specialist, consultative and internationally focused approach to executive recruitment within technical industries.
Many traditional recruitment models prioritise volume over quality. We built our business differently.
Our focus has always been on understanding the technical, operational and commercial realities our clients face before beginning any search assignment. By combining market intelligence, targeted headhunting and evidence-based assessment, we help organisations secure leaders who are capable of driving performance in demanding environments.
Today, we support businesses across global engineering, civil engineering and technology sectors with senior appointments ranging from specialist leadership hires through to board and executive-level mandates.
What We Do
We specialise in executive search and senior recruitment assignments across technical and leadership disciplines.
Our work includes:
- Board and executive appointments
- Managing Director and Country Manager searches
- Technical and Engineering leadership recruitment
- Operations and Project leadership hiring
- Commercial and Business Unit leadership appointments
- International and cross-border talent mapping
- Confidential succession and strategic hiring projects
Every assignment is approached with the understanding that senior appointments influence culture, performance, delivery capability and long-term business growth.

The Industries We Serve
OUR APPROACH
Executive Search with Technical Understanding
Successful executive search in technical industries requires more than recruitment experience alone. It requires a genuine understanding of the sectors, markets and operational challenges clients face.
At Alexander Executive Search, we take the time to understand your business, culture, leadership requirements and strategic objectives before launching a search.
Our process combines:
- Detailed market mapping
- Direct headhunting and talent engagement
- Competitor and sector analysis
- Structured candidate assessment
- Psychometric evaluation
- Thorough referencing and due diligence
- Confidential project delivery
This disciplined approach helps reduce hiring risk while improving long-term retention and leadership fit.
International Reach, Global Perspective
Modern leadership recruitment increasingly operates across borders.
Many of the most capable senior professionals are not actively searching for opportunities, and the strongest candidates are often found beyond local networks or traditional advertising channels.
Alexander Executive Search supports organisations with international hiring needs and cross-border search projects across global engineering and technology markets.
With an international outlook and experience engaging senior professionals worldwide, we help clients access exceptional talent in highly competitive sectors where specialist expertise can be difficult to secure.
Why Clients Choose Alexander Executive Search
Organisations partner with us because they want more than CV delivery.
They want a search partner capable of representing their brand professionally, understanding complex technical requirements and delivering a structured recruitment process from initial brief through to successful appointment.
Our clients value:
- Specialist expertise within technical sectors
- A relationship-led and consultative approach
- International market reach
- Evidence-based assessment methods
- High standards of confidentiality and professionalism
- Long-term partnership thinking
- Strong fulfilment and retention outcomes
We believe executive search should create long-term business value, not simply fill vacancies.
