Hard Hat is a specialist construction recruitment agency supplying electricians to construction sites across Berkshire & West London. We work exclusively in construction — no white-collar generalism, no admin temps — so when you register with us you go on the books of recruiters who actually understand the trade.
Electricians are critical to every construction project, handling everything from containment and 1st fix cable installation through to 2nd fix, testing, and commissioning. Hard Hat supplies JIB Gold Card holders and ECS-carded electricians for commercial, residential, and industrial projects. We ensure all electricians hold current 18th Edition qualifications and relevant inspection and testing certifications where required. Our electricians work on new builds, refurbishments, and fit-out projects across London, the M25, and the wider South East.
Berkshire's construction market is buoyed by its position along the M4 corridor, with major commercial developments in Reading and Slough, residential schemes across the county, and infrastructure projects supporting the region's growth. Hard Hat supplies construction workforce across Berkshire including Reading, Slough, Bracknell, Windsor, and Maidenhead.
