Package: Highly Competitive Basic Salary + Industry-Leading Commission & Bonus Structure + Car Allowance

The Opportunity: Build Your Legacy

This is more than a job; it's a career-defining opportunity to build your own desk within a defined, high-value sector. You will be the go-to expert, shaping the market and building lasting relationships with both leading contractors and top-tier talent.

• Blue-Collar Focus: Plant Operators, Groundworks, Industrial M&E, Water Treatment, Coastal Defence, Highways, Concrete Structures & Repair.
• White-Collar Focus: Site Engineering, Site Management, Infrastructure, Energy Transmission & Distribution.

Your Role: Expert, Leader, Biller

As a senior member of our team, you will have two clear career paths:
1. As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you will be a 360 billing expert, responsible for developing new business, winning exclusive contracts, and managing the end-to-end recruitment process for your own dedicated portfolio of clients.
2. As a Billing Manager, you will take on a team leadership element, mentoring junior consultants while maintaining your own personal billings, effectively building a mini-business within the wider brand.

Who We Are Looking For:

• A proven and experienced 360 recruitment consultant with a solid billing history.
• Someone with aspiring expertise - you live and breathe your market and are hungry to become the undisputed authority in your field.
• Experience or a strong interest in the Civil Engineering, Construction, or Industrial sectors is essential.
• A true specialist - you understand the nuance of recruiting for either Blue-Collar or White-Collar roles and have a passion for one of these areas.
• A driver with your own transport - our success is built on face-to-face relationships with clients and candidates across the region.
• A resilient, ambitious, and money-motivated individual with an entrepreneurial spirit.

What We Offer You:

• Uncapped Earning Potential: A market-leading basic salary and a generous, uncapped commission structure that rewards high billers with 70k - 100k+ OTE.
• Clear Career Progression: We promote from within. Progress to Principal Consultant, Billing Manager, and beyond into senior leadership.
• Industry-Leading Training: Access to our internal "SEARCH Academy" and continuous development programmes to hone your skills as an expert.
• Prime Market Specialism: You will be given a protected, high-demand desk with warm leads and an existing client base to build upon.
• A Supportive, High-Performance Culture: We work hard and celebrate success together. You'll be part of a collaborative team in a modern, vibrant office.
• Excellent Benefits: Including a car allowance, pension, private healthcare, and regular incentives and rewards trips.
