Job Description
Delivery Consultant (180)
U.S. Construction & Real Estate Executive Search London Bridge
Base: Up to £35,000 + uncapped commission (Year 1 OTE £50K+)
Hours: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM Office-based
Start Date: ASAP
Want Executive Search Exposure - Without Cold Business Development?
If you're an experienced recruiter who enjoys delivery, headhunting, and candidate strategy - but doesn't want to spend your day cold-calling for new clients - this role offers a genuine step up.
Centurion Selection is a U.S.-focused executive search firm working exclusively on retained and exclusive mandates across construction and real estate. From our London Bridge office, we partner with senior U.S. decision-makers on confidential, high-impact leadership hires.
We are hiring a Delivery Consultant (180) to operate at the core of our executive search function, working directly with our Directors and VPs on senior mandates.
This is not high-volume contingency recruitment.
This is structured, strategic executive search delivery.
The Opportunity
You will focus entirely on search execution, candidate identification, and delivery - building deep market knowledge while developing true executive search capability.
You'll be trusted with responsibility, exposed to senior stakeholders, and supported through a clear pathway into leadership.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading targeted headhunting campaigns for senior and leadership roles across the U.S.
- Building market maps, talent pipelines, and competitor intelligence within construction and property development
- Identifying and engaging senior talent through proactive sourcing and networking
- Conducting detailed candidate screening, qualification, and longlisting
- Managing candidates through the full executive search lifecycle
- Partnering closely with Directors on retained and confidential mandates
- Contributing to best practice as the executive search function continues to scale
This Role Is For You If
- You have 3-5+ years' recruitment experience
- You've delivered senior, niche, or complex roles
- You enjoy headhunting and strategic candidate engagement
- You value quality, detail, and long-term relationships over volume
- You want to develop true executive search expertise
- You're ambitious about progressing into leadership
Sector background can include construction, engineering, real estate, technology, or other B2B markets.
What You'll Get in Return
- Base salary up to £35,000 (depending on previous experience)
- Uncapped commission from day one (realistic Year 1 OTE £50K+)
- 100% delivery-focused role - no BD targets or cold calling
- Direct 1:1 mentorship from Directors and VP
- Training in U.S. executive search, retained mandates, and market specialisation
- Clear progression into Team Lead and Management roles
- Exposure to senior, confidential, high-fee executive searches
- Supportive, high-performance culture with strong standards
- Early finishes on Fridays
- Your birthday off every year
- Regular team socials and incentives
The Difference
Most delivery roles limit your growth.
This role builds you into an executive search specialist and future leader.
- If you want volume and speed, this isn't it.
- If you want quality, impact, and progression - it is.
Why Centurion Selection?
Centurion Selection is a fast-growing, U.S.-focused executive search firm offering recruiters rare exposure to retained mandates, senior stakeholders, and long-term career progression.
This is a delivery-led role for recruiters who want to operate at a higher level - without BD pressure.
