Build a Construction Recruitment Career, Not Just Another Desk

Are you an experienced Construction Recruitment Consultant looking for more than just a billing role?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing independent recruitment business based in Leeds, working closely with senior leadership to develop and grow a thriving Construction division. Whether you're currently recruiting white-collar construction professionals, trades and labour, civil engineering, M&E, housing, commercial build or infrastructure talent, you'll have the autonomy to shape your market and build a highly successful desk.

Whether you're a successful Recruitment Consultant ready to step up, a Senior Consultant seeking more responsibility, or an experienced recruiter looking for a clearer route into management, this role offers the platform to accelerate your career.

This is not a corporate environment filled with unnecessary processes and layers of management. Instead, you'll join a business that values entrepreneurial thinking, rewards success and gives recruiters the freedom and support needed to maximise their potential.

The Opportunity

  • White Collar Construction
  • Civil Engineering
  • Housing & Residential
  • Commercial Build
  • M&E
  • Infrastructure
  • Facilities Management

This is a genuine opportunity to influence the future direction of the division. As the business continues to grow, you'll have the potential to mentor junior recruiters, help shape strategy and ultimately progress into leadership.

  • Construction Recruitment
  • Trades & Labour Recruitment
  • Civil Engineering Recruitment

You'll have a proven track record of:
