🚀 The Opportunity

• Developing your own niche within construction / engineering
• Operating across UK and/or US markets
• Contributing to a high-performance, collaborative culture

👤 What They’re Looking For

• 2+ years recruitment experience (360 preferred)
• Experience in construction, engineering, infrastructure, energy or technical marketsCommercial, credible, relationship-driven
• High energy, resilient, and motivated to succeed
• Someone who thrives in a performance culture without heavy micromanagement

📈 The Growth & Earnings

• Clear path to high billings and progression
• Strong commission structure (no threshold, tiered)
• Supportive leadership focused on long-term success
• Hybrid working (structured but flexible)
• Opportunity to work UK or US markets

This is a business building something special — ambitious, agile, and growing fast — with a strong belief in relationships, integrity, and doing things the right way.

• High-growth, international recruitment business
