The Desk
- Taking ownership of a developing desk across a construction discipline and growing it further.

- Providing market insight, salary guidance and honest advice to clients and candidates alike.
- Supporting and informally mentoring newer consultants as the team grows around you.

- Flexible working arrangements and access to industry events.
- Established CRM and recruitment tools, plus ongoing professional development.
Who This Suits
- A proven track record of billing in recruitment, ideally (though not essentially) within construction, engineering or a related technical sector.
- Confidence to manage your own desk with minimal oversight, while still valuing being part of a team.
- Strong commercial instincts and negotiation skills, with a consultative rather than transactional style.
- An interest in developing a specialism and becoming a genuine expert in your corner of the construction market.
