Recruitment Consultant - US Built Environment

About MKH Search

Since inception in 2019, we have established ourselves as market leaders in our field, with our core markets being in the Heavy Civil Infrastructure, Water/Wastewater Infrastructure & General Buildings. 2024 will see us scale further within our newly developed Corporate Services & Renewables divisions.

To enable that, we need people that will relish the opportunity to scale their career as recruiters & head-hunters, and develop into managing profitable business units, with the end goal of becoming the leaders of our business.
