Job description

Senior Consultant – Construction Recruitment

The opportunity

The California construction market is one of the busiest in the country, and we're building a desk to match it. We're looking for a Senior Consultant to take ownership of our San Diego operation and develop the California construction market as their own.

Centurion Selection is a rapidly growing executive search and recruitment firm specializing in the U.S. construction industry, with offices in Houston, Tampa, and London.

Based in San Diego, CA, you will have direct access to senior leadership, genuine autonomy over how you develop your desk, and the opportunity to play a central role in the continued growth of our California business.

This is a full 360 role with real autonomy; you'll own both sides of the desk, from winning the client to placing the candidate. You won't be handed a warm desk or inherited accounts; you'll be winning your own clients, sourcing and managing your own candidates, and building something that's yours. In return, you get an uncapped commission structure where the upside actually belongs to you, plus direct access to senior leadership and a clear path to grow with the business.

What you'll be doing

• Winning and signing new clients across the California construction market
• Generating your own vacancies and building a pipeline you control
• Sourcing, headhunting, and qualifying candidates to fill those vacancies
• Managing candidates through the full process — screening, interview prep, offer and close
• Negotiating and agreeing recruitment terms with clients
• Building relationships with senior decision-makers - the people who actually sign off on hires
• Managing the full recruitment lifecycle, from first client call to placed candidate
• Developing and growing a profitable recruitment desk

Who we're looking for

You're an experienced agency recruiter with a proven track record of winning new business and delivering placements independently. This is a genuine 360 role, so you need to enjoy the full mix: pitching to new clients, sourcing, and closing candidates.

Construction recruitment experience is strongly preferred. That said, if you're an exceptional recruiter from a related professional market with the numbers to back it up, we'd still like to talk.

Why here

• Uncapped earnings - your commission reflects what you bill, with no ceiling
• Ownership - build the desk your way, with backing rather than micromanagement
• Direct exposure to senior leadership - no layers between you and the people making decisions
• A growth story you can shape - play a key role in growing our California business from the ground up

If you're billing well where you are but the ceiling is starting to feel low, this is worth a conversation.
