Graduate Recruitment Consultant – Construction
Basic Salary: £25,000 | On Target Earnings: Up to £40,000
A career that starts on site, not behind a desk

This is not a typical graduate recruitment role.
It offers direct exposure to live construction projects, real client relationships, and a market that operates at pace. You will not be limited to the office. You will be on the phone, on site, and face to face with the people who keep projects moving.
For individuals who prefer activity over routine and want to build a career through experience, this is a strong starting point.

The company is an established construction recruitment business with a strong presence across the UK and a well-developed London head office.
They support a wide range of construction projects, supplying both labour and professional staff into active sites. Their client base is long-standing, with repeat business across multiple developments.
A significant number of senior consultants began their careers here as trainees. They developed their understanding of the construction market from first principles, built long-term client relationships, and progressed into positions with real ownership and leadership responsibility.
This hire is part of a continued growth phase. The business is investing in new talent to support increasing demand across key accounts while developing the next generation of consultants.


The role
You will join as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, working closely with experienced consultants on accounts that are already active and generating revenue.

*Attending candidate meetings and site inductions

Time on site is a key part of the role. It allows you to understand how projects operate and builds credibility with both clients and candidates.

Typical backgrounds include:
*Graduates with exposure to sales, commercial, or target-based environments
*Individuals from estate agency, telesales, or similar roles
