Recruitment Consultant - Construction Recruitment - Epping

Basic £25,000–£28,000 depending on experience

£40,000+ OTE

This role is for people who already understand sales environments and are comfortable working to targets.

It is not an office-only recruitment job.

You will be on the phone, on sites, and in front of clients.

If you want a role where activity, relationships, and results matter, this is a strong opportunity.

The business and the opportunity

The company is an established construction recruitment business with multiple offices across the UK and a well-established London head office.

They supply labour and professional staff into live construction projects across London and nationally. The client base is long standing, with repeat work and active sites.

Many of the senior consultants started in trainee or junior roles, learned the construction market properly, and progressed into account ownership and leadership positions.

This hire supports growing workload across key accounts and develops the next generation of consultants.

The role

You will join as a trainee recruitment consultant, working alongside experienced consultants on active accounts that are already generating revenue.

The role combines phone-based sales activity with regular site and client exposure.

You will:

• Speak daily with candidates and workers
• Manage candidate pipelines against live site requirements
• Work to clear daily and weekly activity targets
• Support delivery across active construction sites
• Attend candidate meetings and site inductions
• Visit client sites and spend time with site managers
• Learn client requirements and workforce planning
• Take ownership of roles and accounts as you progress

Spending time on site is a key part of the role. Understanding the environment is essential to building credibility and progressing.

Who this is for

This role suits people with sales experience, including:

• Graduates with proven sales or target-driven experience
• Non-graduates from sales, estate agency, or phone-based roles
• Individuals comfortable working to KPIs and performance metrics
• Confident communicators, on the phone and face to face
• People looking for a long-term career in recruitment

Sales experience is essential. Academic background is not.

Reward and progression

• Basic salary around £25,000
• Discretionary bonus in the early stages
• Move into commission-based earnings as responsibility increases
• Clear progression into consultant and senior consultant roles
• Strong long-term earning potential
• Support and mentoring from experienced consultants

This is a role for people who want exposure, responsibility, and progression.

It suits those who want to learn a market properly, build relationships on site and with clients, and develop a long-term career in recruitment.
