Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant

Civil Infrastructure | Perth, WA, Australia
Visa Sponsorship Available (482) - UK & Irish Recruiters Encouraged to Apply

If you are a proven 360 recruiter with a background in civil or construction recruitment and you have considered Australia, this is a genuine opportunity to accelerate both your career and your earnings.

We are partnering with a rapidly growing specialist recruitment business operating across Mining, Civil and Drilling. Established by two UK founders with strong industry and agency backgrounds, the business has scaled quickly, secured major vendor agreements within its first year and built a strong reputation for delivery, transparency and integrity.

They are now hiring experienced 360 recruiters to step into Senior / Principal level roles, focused on Civil White Collar recruitment across Western Australia or Queensland.

This is not a “come in and learn” role.
This is a “come in and build, lead and earn” opportunity.

The Opportunity

You will focus on civil infrastructure white collar roles, supporting contractors, engineering consultancies and major projects across WA or QLD.

Western Australia

• High margin market
• Opportunity to build and own a desk
• Strong mining and infrastructure crossover

Queensland

• Established network and growth market
• Significant pipeline driven by long-term infrastructure investment and 2032 Olympic projects
• Huge upside for someone who can scale relationships quickly

You will be trusted to operate as a true 360 consultant with full autonomy across business development, candidate management and client strategy.

Why This Move Makes Sense

Fast-Track Career Progression
The founders are looking for experienced consultants who can become future leaders. You will sit between the directors and junior recruiters, with a clear path into team leadership or equity conversations for the right individual.

No complicated commission tiers. No moving goalposts.

Proper Infrastructure

• Dedicated VA support for every recruiter
• Four offshore BAs supporting delivery
• Full tech stack including JobAdder, LinkedIn Recruiter, Seek Talent Search and sourcing tools
• Strong marketing investment and industry networking events

You focus on relationships, meetings and revenue. Admin is handled.

Culture That Actually Means Something

• Full-time office in West Perth to build real culture
• Flexible working hours
• Transparent leadership
• Mental health and mining charity partnerships
• Unique charity initiative on perm deals

The business has grown quickly by delivering and doing things the right way. They are now looking for experienced recruiters who share that mindset.

Who This Suits

You will ideally:

• Have a civil or construction recruitment background
• Be an experienced 360 recruiter
• Be commercially driven and comfortable building relationships
• Be someone who operates with honesty and integrity
• Want more autonomy and a bigger earning ceiling

High-performing recruiters from other sectors will be considered if they can demonstrate strong billing history and leadership qualities.

Relocation & Visa

The business is experienced in sponsoring international hires under the 482 visa and is prepared to start the process immediately for the right candidate.

You will be joining a team of UK and Irish recruiters who have already made the move.

If you are in the UK or Ireland and thinking about Australia, this is a serious opportunity to do it properly with the right platform behind you.

This is about long-term career growth, not just a lifestyle change.
