You’ll be responsible for developing new business, strengthening existing client relationships and building a reliable network of high-quality construction candidates.

From speaking with Site Managers and Project Managers to sourcing skilled trades and construction professionals, you’ll become a trusted point of contact for clients who need the right people, at the right time.

You’ll have the freedom to develop your market, backed by the infrastructure, reputation and support of an established recruitment business.

• Respond quickly to urgent and high-volume construction requirements.
• Understand client projects, workforce requirements, skills shortages and market conditions.
• Negotiate rates and terms with both clients and candidates.
• Maintain regular contact with placed candidates and clients to ensure strong ongoing relationships.
• Ensure all candidates meet the relevant compliance and right-to-work requirements.
• Work towards and exceed weekly and monthly activity and billing targets.
• Develop your knowledge of the construction market and become recognised as a specialist within your sector.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who knows that successful recruitment is built on relationships, reputation and results.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Proven recruitment experience, preferably within construction, civil engineering, trades, property or a related sector.
• A strong understanding of the construction recruitment market.
• Experience within temporary, contract or permanent recruitment.
• The confidence to speak with construction professionals and decision-makers at all levels.

• Excellent communication, organisation and negotiation abilities.
• A commercially focused and target-driven mindset.
• The resilience and determination to succeed in a fast-paced environment.
• A proactive approach to developing new clients and opportunities.
