RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT – BUILT DATACENTRE & INFRASTRUCTURE

180 Delivery | Permanent | UK

The Sector

Demand for built datacentre and critical infrastructure talent isn't slowing down. Hyperscale projects, colocation facilities, and mission-critical builds are driving one of the fastest-growing hiring markets in the UK and beyond. The candidates who operate in this space, project managers, construction managers, site managers, commissioning engineers, and M&E specialists  - are in short supply and high demand. That means the right recruiter in this space can build something genuinely valuable.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an experienced recruiter to join our growing datacentre and infrastructure desk. This is a delivery-focused (180) role,  you'll be working a warm, active desk with live client requirements from day one, backed by an established client base and a team that knows this market inside out.

You'll be responsible for sourcing, engaging, and placing candidates across the built environment of the datacentre sector — non-technical infrastructure roles including project management, site management, construction management, commissioning, and M&E delivery.

What You'll Be Doing

- Sourcing and placing candidates across built datacentre and infrastructure projects in the UK and internationally

- Managing end-to-end delivery: headhunting, screening, briefing, managing offers and start processes

- Building strong candidate relationships in a candidate-short, specialist market

- Working closely with the business development team to understand live briefs and client needs

- Keeping a close eye on the market - knowing who's available, who's active, and what's moving

What We're Looking For

- 2–3 years' recruitment experience, ideally within built environment, construction, datacentre, infrastructure, or a related technical sector

- A genuine understanding of the built environment - you don't need to be an engineer, but you need to understand the roles, the projects, and the people

- Strong sourcing skills - LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, direct headhunting, referral networks

- Someone who takes ownership of their desk and doesn't need to be chased to perform

- Comfortable working at pace in a market where good candidates move fast

Why This Role

This is a sector with real momentum. The candidates are niche, the projects are high profile, and the relationships you build here are long-term ones. If you know this world -  or you've been recruiting in construction, M&E, or critical infrastructure and want to specialise further  - this is the desk to be on.
