The Role

Recruitment in construction isn't about posting adverts and waiting for applications. It's about knowing where to find the right people, building relationships and moving quickly to secure skilled candidates before the competition does.

As Recruitment Resourcer at Kilnbridge, you'll play a vital role in supporting the delivery of some of the UK's most complex infrastructure, engineering and construction projects by identifying, engaging and securing the skilled people our operational teams need to succeed.

Working directly with hiring managers, site teams and business leaders, you'll become a key part of our in-house Talent team, helping to recruit blue-collar and white-collar talent across our projects and corporate functions. From skilled trades and operatives to supervisors, engineers and specialist construction professionals, you'll be responsible for sourcing the talent that keeps our projects moving.

Whether you're already working in-house or looking to take the next step from agency recruitment, you'll have the opportunity to build long-term talent pipelines, partner directly with hiring managers and see the impact of your hiring decisions on some of the UK's most significant construction and infrastructure projects.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced construction resourcer who enjoys direct sourcing, building talent networks and working at pace. You'll have real ownership, develop strong relationships with operational teams and make a visible impact on project delivery and business growth.
