Job description

Overview

About the ITS: With over 50 years' experience within the construction industry and now 19 offices in major cities across the UK, ITS is a well-established recruitment agency that specialises in the Construction sector. Each office prides itself on local knowledge of both candidates and clients and bespoke tailored service. With directors present in each office, they are independently run with hands-on management training and uphold a reputable group ethos. An opportunity has arisen to introduce a new Senior consultant to our Guildford office. This location has been established since 1989 and has developed a solid reputation and client base in the area. This new role would suit an experienced trades and labour consultant or someone with existing experience in another freelance recruitment sector.

The job role and the desk: The current trades and labour team is made up of 3 experienced consultants and a Resourcer, supported by a company Director. They require an experienced and proven Senior consultant to help develop our local presence providing construction freelance contractors. This will be a hands-on role developing a warm desk and working alongside the sales manager and existing trades team. This is an exciting challenge for the right person who would have complete exclusivity on this desk, supported by a successful trades team to provide unlimited leads, with numerous existing PSLs in the area to work with. As the office is already well established, it is a sector and business that needs to be developed rather than built up from scratch. ITS are already established locally and across the group as a key PSL supplier for numerous developers and contractors with many of them extremely busy in the Guildford and Surrey area.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain our existing relationships and attract new business.
• Work with the local team to develop sales in the freelance construction sector.
• Deliver excellent customer service.
• Confident with scheduling and the time management of yourself and others.
• Ideally have an established business network of your own or good understanding of the construction sector (not essential; candidates from other sectors with a proven track record will be considered).

Essential Qualifications/Experience

The position is ideally suited to someone with trades and labour, white collar or construction-related recruitment experience. It is suited to a Senior consultant or team leader who is looking for progression and/or a new challenge. However, we are open-minded to candidates from other disciplines to be cross-trained as long as they have the right attitude and aptitude and can adapt to the high demands of a busy freelance environment.

Training/Progression opportunities

Training is offered from one-off specific courses to ongoing distant learning with the REC. ITS invests time and training in each member of staff and is developing a new internal industry-recognised training and development program with external partners so each individual can reach their full potential. For this position, full support will be provided to develop a growth strategy with a budget to deliver it, with incentives to ensure the right individual can get the most out of their team and themselves as a billing manager. Some of the benefits include:

• Generous salary
• Car allowance
• Personal and team commission
• Quarterly & annual performance bonus
• Reward trips
• Opportunities to become a Director and Shareholder

This investment helps uphold our high staff retention. Promotion is a high priority for ITS and we pride ourselves on promoting from within and have many success stories around the group. In time promotions do lead to directorships and shares of offices and a number of our current directors started as trainees and consultants.
