Job description

Senior Recruitment Consultant - Construction (Trades & Labour)

Location: Sussex

About ITS

With over 50 years' experience in the construction sector and a network of 19 offices across the UK, ITS is a well-established and highly respected recruitment consultancy.

Each office operates with a strong local focus, backed by hands-on leadership and supported by a wider group infrastructure. This model allows us to deliver a tailored, high-quality service while maintaining a collaborative and high-performing culture.

Our Sussex office has a strong reputation and long-standing client relationships across East & West Sussex and the surrounding areas.

The Opportunity

We are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to take ownership of a warm Trades & Labour desk within our Sussex office.

You'll be joining a successful team of three consultants and a resourcer, supported by an experienced Director. This is a hands-on billing role with the opportunity to further develop an already established desk, rather than build from scratch.

With multiple existing PSL agreements and a strong local client base, this role offers immediate opportunity alongside long-term growth potential.

Your Role

• Develop and grow an established Trades & Labour desk
• Build and maintain strong client and candidate relationships
• Maximise existing PSL agreements and generate new business opportunities
• Work collaboratively with the sales manager and wider team
• Deliver a high standard of service in a fast-paced freelance environment
• Manage your own time and pipeline effectively

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in recruitment (ideally construction, Trades & Labour or white collar)
• Strong billing track record and commercial awareness
• Ability to develop relationships and win business
• Highly organised with strong time management skills
• A driven, resilient, and professional approach

We are also open to experienced recruiters from other sectors who can demonstrate consistent performance and the ability to adapt to a fast-moving market.

Progression & Support

ITS is committed to developing its people. You'll receive ongoing training through both internal programmes and external partners, including REC-accredited learning.

You'll also have full support to implement a growth strategy for your desk, including budget and leadership backing.

We promote from within and offer genuine long-term progression, with many of our Directors having started as consultants.

Package & Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• Car allowance
• Uncapped personal and team commission
• Quarterly and annual bonuses
• Incentive trips and rewards
• Clear pathway to management, Directorship, and equity opportunities
