Senior Recruitment Consultant - U.S. Data Centre Construction Remote (UK-based) £40,000-£50,000 Base (negotiable) + commission to 30% (£100K+ OTE) The commercial reality: • Commission up to 30% (low £5K threshold, then uncapped), • Average fees $30K-$40K per placement, • Realistic OTE £100K+ for proven billers (top performers well above that), • Remote-first setup with direct leadership backing and shared market intel, • Clear runway to lead the U.S. function within 12–18 months if you build the desk The situation: I’m representing a high-growth recruitment business that’s nailed its UK and European desks across Advanced Construction, Life Sciences and Supply Chain. The U.S. Construction division is performing strongly but there’s one gap: they need a recruiter to own and scale the U.S. Data Centre Construction market. This isn’t a “see if it sticks” play. The market’s warm, the leadership’s proven and the commercial model’s already working. They just need someone who gets how to operate with EPCs, GCs and mission-critical infrastructure clients and wants to build something that actually lasts. The role: You’ll: • Establish and grow the U.S. Data Centre Construction desk, • Place mid-senior construction professionals (PMs, CMs, MEP Leads, Commissioning Engineers), • Run a full 360 desk - candidate sourcing, client development, deal delivery, • Work flexible hours to suit U.S. time zones, • Build something scalable, with potential to add a team under you within 12-18 months, • Shape your own strategy and go-to-market plan. No playbook, no micromanagement What you’ll need: • Consistent £200K+ annual billings, • 360 experience within Construction, Engineering or Data Centres, • Ideally U.S. or international market experience (not essential if you can adapt fast), • Commercially sharp, credible with senior stakeholders and genuinely self-driven, • A builder’s mentality. Someone who thrives on creating value, not maintaining status quo What’s on offer: • Competitive base (set around experience), • Up to 30% commission, £5K threshold, uncapped earnings, • Average deal value $30K-$40K (fees in USD, converted to GBP), • Remote-first with flexibility and trust, • Direct access to leadership. No red tape, no layers, • Structured progression: own and lead the U.S. function if you deliver About the business: A high-performance recruitment firm specialising in Construction, Life Sciences and Supply Chain. Lean, ambitious, and scaling. Already pushing seven figures NFI. They’re not testing the U.S. market. They’re doubling down on what’s working. If you’ve got the track record, the drive and the discipline to grow a desk in a lucrative, under-supplied market, you’ll be backed all the way. What this isn’t: • KPI-heavy or over-managed, • A speculative “try the U.S.” experiment, • A place where “vision” replaces actual revenue If you’re a £200K+ biller with the appetite to build a high-fee U.S. desk and the maturity to run it your way, this is worth a confidential conversation.

PB Select Ltd is an employment agency specialising in the Recruitment to Recruitment market. We welcome applications from qualified candidates of any age, race, gender, or lifestyle, who have the right to live and work in the UK and have a good command of the English language.
