Sales Consultant. Job in Whiteley LilyLifestyle Jobs

Join Matchtech, a market‑leading STEM recruitment specialist, and build a highly profitable Highways Site Construction contract desk within one of the busiest infrastructure markets in the UK. This is a standout opportunity for a Recruitment Consultant who thrives in a fast‑moving, contractor‑led market, enjoys relationship‑driven recruitment, and wants to grow a desk alongside some of Matchtech’s top‑performing contract billers.

With sustained investment in UK highways infrastructure and strong demand across major frameworks and schemes, this desk continues to see exceptional levels of activity. Due to continued growth, we are looking to add to our successful and collaborative Highways team.

The Opportunity:

As a Recruitment Consultant, you will develop and grow your own Highways Site Construction desk. You’ll recruit for critical site‑based roles across the construction phase of highways projects, including:

• Site Engineers
• Site Supervisors
• Project Managers
• Construction Managers

This is a high‑energy, delivery‑focused market, where success comes from strong candidate networks, pace, reliability, and trusted client relationships. You’ll be surrounded by genuine market experts, with access to proven processes, high‑value clients, and the opportunity to build a desk capable of delivering strong, consistent monthly billing, with current consultants regularly working plans of £9k - £15k.

What you’ll do:

• Manage the full end‑to‑end recruitment lifecycle across Highways Site Construction roles.
• Build, maintain, and own a strong network of site‑based highways professionals.
• Work closely with contractors and hiring managers to qualify requirements, understand programme timelines, and deliver at pace.
• Proactively source, engage, and mobilise contractors through targeted search, referrals, and market knowledge.
• Develop your desk through consistent sales activity, relationship management, and candidate‑led business development.
• Coordinate interviews, manage offers, extensions, and redeployments to maximise desk performance.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven experience in Sales (sector experience not essential).
• Confidence working in a fast‑paced, delivery‑driven environment with multiple live roles.
• Resilience and adaptability – you understand the highs and lows of recruitment and keep moving forward.
• A driven, ambitious mindset with the motivation to exceed targets and grow a successful desk.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust quickly with both candidates and clients.

(Sales experience is highly valued but not essential – mindset, work ethic, and approach are key.)

Why join Matchtech?

• A supportive, high‑performing team where collaboration and success go hand in hand.
• A genuinely busy and buoyant Highways market with strong demand and ongoing project pipelines.
• Competitive base salary with a clear and rewarding commission structure.
• Flexible working options to support wellbeing and work‑life balance.
• Access to industry‑leading recruitment tools, systems, and training.
• Incentives including all‑inclusive team holidays, regular socials, and performance rewards.
• Long‑term progression opportunities within Matchtech’s Infrastructure & Built Environment teams.
