Head of Trades & Labour – Civil Engineering
SOS Group | North of England (covering the North of the UK) | Competitive basic + uncapped commission + equity and directorship for the right person
We’re heading into our third year of business, after a very strong second year. We’ve built our name by supplying the best Project Managers, Site Agents, Engineers and supervisory staff in Civil Engineering. Our clients keep asking us one question: “Can you supply the trades and labour too?”
We’re looking for someone with a strong, loyal network of trades and labour. You’ll put those people onto the sites of clients we already work with, then grow the division well beyond them.
The opportunity
You’ll have a head start most people never get. Our founders have spent their careers building relationships with Tier 1 contractors, regional contractors and specialist sub-contractors. You’ll be introduced to those clients from day one. Turning those introductions into a growing headcount, and winning new clients on top, is down to you.
Most of our contracts run for 12 months or more. That lets you build a large, stable headcount with recurring revenue.
For the right person, we’re offering equity and a directorship. You’ll own and grow your own division, starting across the North of the UK, with the backing to expand nationally.
What you’ll be doing
- Bringing your network of trades and operatives to our existing clients
- Launching and leading our Trades & Labour division in Civil Engineering
- Winning new clients and opening up new sites and regions through business development
- Growing your candidate pool, including groundworkers, pipelayers, plant operators, steel fixers, formworkers, banksmen and general operatives
- Setting up compliance and onboarding for the division, including CSCS/CPCS/NPORS checks, right to work and payroll
- Hiring and developing your own team as the division grows
What we’re looking for
- An established network of trades and labour candidates in Civil Engineering who will follow you
- Proven experience supplying trades and labour to Civil Engineering or Construction sites
- Strong business development skills and a track record of winning and growing accounts
- Experience building and keeping a contractor headcount
- An entrepreneurial mindset: you want to build something, not just run a desk
- A commitment to quality that matches our reputation for supplying the best people in the industry
What’s on offer
- Equity and a directorship for the right candidate
- Competitive basic salary plus uncapped commission
- Warm introductions to an established client base from day one
- Long-term contracts that support stable, recurring revenue
- Full autonomy to shape and lead your own division
- The backing of a fast-growin...
