Senior Recruitment Consultant

Construction

Manchester

£35,000 - £40,000 + uncapped commission (up to 25%)

I’m working with a well-established specialist construction recruitment consultancy in Manchester that wants to bring in an experienced Senior Consultant to take real ownership of a developing desk. This is a chance to build your own niche inside a business with a long track record, a loyal client base and the infrastructure to back you.

If you’re billing well, want more autonomy and can see yourself progressing to Principal Consultant and beyond, this is worth a conversation.

The company

Over many years, this recruitment business has built a strong reputation across main contracting, civil engineering, project management and specialist trades. They work with a loyal base of contractors, consultancies and SMEs throughout the UK, with dedicated divisions covering site management, M&E, civils, trades and project delivery.

The desk

• Take ownership of a developing desk within a construction discipline and grow it further.
• Run the full 360 process independently, from qualifying briefs and headhunting through to interviews, offer negotiation and placement.
• Win new business alongside an existing client base, opening up parts of the market the desk hasn’t yet reached.
• Build your own specialism and become a recognised name in a defined corner of the construction market.
• Give clients and candidates honest advice, market insight and salary guidance.
• Informally mentor newer consultants as the team grows around you.

What’s on offer

• £35,000 - £40,000 base plus uncapped commission up to 25%.
• Real autonomy over how you run your desk, with an experienced team behind you.
• A clear route to Principal Consultant as your billings and niche grow.
• Flexible working and access to industry events.
• Established CRM and recruitment tools, plus ongoing professional development.

Who this would suit

• A proven biller in recruitment, ideally (though not essentially) from construction, engineering or another technical sector.
• Someone confident running their own desk with minimal oversight who still values being part of a team.
• Strong commercial instincts and negotiation skills, with a consultative rather than transactional style.
• Someone keen to develop a genuine specialism and become an expert in their market.
• Ambition to move into a senior or leadership role in the near term.
