Job Description

CPR is a nationwide specialist construction recruiter with one straightforward ambition: to be the best in the business. That means better service, better people and better outcomes for everyone we work with.

CPXR is CPR’s permanent recruitment arm. We back every placement with honest advice, deep industry knowledge and a genuine investment in getting it right for both clients and candidates.

The Role

CPXR is looking for an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to take ownership of a genuinely hot permanent white-collar construction desk.

You will join an established specialist with existing clients, live vacancies and access to more than 1,000 client accounts, including Tier 1 residential developers and PLC main contractors. You will have everything needed to generate billings from day one while developing the desk around your own strengths and relationships.

The desk has a strong presence across London and the Home Counties, alongside opportunities to deliver senior appointments throughout the UK. You can focus exclusively on permanent recruitment or develop a dual desk covering permanent and contract appointments.

Your Market

You will recruit white-collar construction professionals across three principal areas:

Site-based management roles, including:

  • Site Managers
  • Project Managers
  • Contracts Managers

Office-based and commercial roles, including:

  • Quantity Surveyors
  • Estimators
  • Planners
  • Buyers

Senior management and leadership appointments, including:

  • Commercial Managers
  • Operations Directors
  • Regional Leads

You will manage established client relationships, deliver against live requirements and identify opportunities to expand existing accounts and develop new business.

This is your opportunity to make an established desk your own. If you want to remain a high-performing individual biller, you will have the platform and earning potential to do so. If your ambition is to build and lead a team, CPXR will support you in taking that next step.

What CPXR Offers

  • £35,000–£45,000 basic salary, depending on experience
  • Three-month earnings guarantee
  • Commission ranging from 22.5% to 35%
  • Established permanent construction desk
  • Existing clients and live vacancies
  • Access to more than 1,000 client accounts
  • Relationships with Tier 1 residential developers and PLC main contractors
  • Quarterly cash bonuses
  • Two international incentive trips each year
  • Ski holidays and additional sales incentives
  • Opportunity to build and lead a team
  • Supportive and down-to-earth working environment

About You

You will be an experienced Recruitment Consultant with a successful background in construction recruitment, ideally covering white-collar permanent or contract appointments.

You should be confident recruiting site-based management, commercial and senior leadership professionals while managing the complete recruitment process.

Applications are particularly welcomed from recruiters with experience across Residential Construction, Commercial Construction, Main Contracting or M&E.

Above all, you will be commercially driven, relationship-focused and motivated by the opportunity to take ownership of an established market.

We are building something exciting, but we remain a down-to-earth team that enjoys what we do. You will join a business that combines established industry relationships with the freedom and support needed to develop your own successful career.
