Graduate Recruitment Consultant — US Engineering Market 🇺🇸 UK-Based | No US Hours | Full Training Provided
Why this role?
You will be recruiting across the United States from the UK — same hours, same timezone, but with access to one of the most lucrative recruitment markets in the world
Here is why the US market is a game changer for a graduate:
🤑 Bigger fees: US salaries are higher, fees are a percentage of salary. The numbers work in your favour from day one
⚡ Get paid faster: US notice periods can be as short as two weeks. Commission is paid when a candidate starts, so the sooner they start, the sooner you earn
🌎 Huge market: Hundreds of thousands of Civil, MEP and Energy engineering firms across 50 states. Enormous opportunity, far less saturated than the UK
🏔️The Firm
A specialist engineering recruitment business operating as a strategic hiring partner to Civil, MEP and Energy and Infrastructure firms across the US. Their model is commitment-based — every search gets dedicated focus, not a scattergun approach. Over six years they have maintained a 95% staff retention rate. That tells you everything about the culture here. This is a people-first business led by a Chairman who previously scaled a $1.3bn global engineering staffing firm with 56 offices across 26 countries.
📋The Role
You will join as a Graduate Recruitment Consultant with full training provided across AQRA's core markets — Civil Engineering, MEP, and Energy and Infrastructure. You will be in the office five days a week while you develop, with flexibility to work abroad during certain periods once established.

- £26k base salary that will increase once you hit your targets in the first 6 months
