3D Personnel is looking to appoint an experienced Senior or Principal Recruitment Consultant to join our growing Construction recruitment team based in Ocean Village, Southampton.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced recruiter who wants to take ownership of a strong white-collar Construction desk, working across both permanent and contract recruitment with a broad range of established clients throughout the South Coast, London and wider UK market.

You will recruit across a variety of professional Construction roles, supporting Tier 1 Main Contractors, Design & Build Contractors, specialist subcontractors, developers and other leading businesses within the built environment.

The Role

This will be a full 360 recruitment role, giving you the freedom to develop your own client relationships and market while also benefiting from the considerable support and client network already established across the wider 3D Personnel business.

You will be responsible for:

Recruiting permanent and contract professionals across the Construction sector

Developing relationships with new and existing clients

Working with Tier 1 Main Contractors, Design & Build Contractors, subcontractors and developers

Construction

Civil Engineering

Infrastructure

M&E / Building Services

Engineering or other closely related technical recruitment markets

You will ideally already be operating at Senior Consultant, Principal Consultant or equivalent level.

A strong background in permanent recruitment and proven billing performance is highly desirable, while previous experience recruiting contract or freelance professionals would be a significant advantage.

You should be commercially minded, comfortable developing your own client relationships and confident managing a recruitment desk with a high degree of autonomy.

What We Offer

Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience

If you are an experienced Construction, Civil Engineering, Infrastructure or M&E recruiter and would like a confidential conversation about the opportunity, we would be keen to hear from you.
