Job description

Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant - Construction

Location

Southampton, Ocean Village

Salary

Up to £40,000 + uncapped commission

Sector

Construction - White Collar Permanent & Contract

Coverage

South Coast, London and UK-wide

3D Personnel is looking to appoint an experienced Senior or Principal Recruitment Consultant to join our growing Construction recruitment team based in Ocean Village, Southampton.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced recruiter who wants to take ownership of a strong white-collar Construction desk, working across both permanent and contract recruitment with a broad range of established clients throughout the South Coast, London and wider UK market.

You will recruit across a variety of professional Construction roles, supporting Tier 1 Main Contractors, Design & Build Contractors, specialist subcontractors, developers and other leading businesses within the built environment.

The Role

This will be a full 360 recruitment role, giving you the freedom to develop your own client relationships and market while also benefiting from the considerable support and client network already established across the wider 3D Personnel business.

You will be responsible for:

• Managing and developing a white-collar Construction recruitment desk
• Recruiting permanent and contract professionals across the Construction sector
• Developing relationships with new and existing clients
• Working with Tier 1 Main Contractors, Design & Build Contractors, subcontractors and developers
• Identifying new business opportunities across the South Coast, London and wider UK
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle from business development and job qualification through to candidate sourcing, interview management, offers and placements
• Building long-term relationships with both clients and candidates
• Working alongside the wider 3D Personnel business to maximise existing relationships, house accounts and PSL opportunities

Who We Are Looking For

We are particularly interested in speaking with recruiters who have experience within:

• Construction
• Civil Engineering
• Infrastructure
• M&E / Building Services
• Engineering or other closely related technical recruitment markets

You will ideally already be operating at Senior Consultant, Principal Consultant or equivalent level.

A strong background in permanent recruitment and proven billing performance is highly desirable, while previous experience recruiting contract or freelance professionals would be a significant advantage.

You should be commercially minded, comfortable developing your own client relationships and confident managing a recruitment desk with a high degree of autonomy.

What We Offer

• Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience
• Uncapped commission
• Established client relationships and PSL agreements
• Access to house accounts and opportunities generated across the wider 3D Personnel business
• Opportunity to build and develop your own market
• Support from an experienced recruitment and management team
• Modern offices in Ocean Village, Southampton
• Free parking
• Established brand with a strong presence across Construction and related sectors
• Genuine opportunity for progression as the South Coast business continues to grow

This role would suit an experienced recruiter looking for greater autonomy, strong earning potential and the opportunity to build a successful Construction desk while still benefiting from the backing, infrastructure and client relationships of an established recruitment business.
