Head of Rail & Civils / Associate Director
O'Neill & Brennan | London (Fareham/Guildford considered)
O'Neill & Brennan is one of the UK and Ireland's leading construction service providers, turning over £100m+ across 14 offices. Best known for Labour, Trades and Logistics, but our White-Collar recruitment division has always punched above its weight - and we're now looking for a senior recruitment leader to take our Rail & Civils recruitment and account management offering to the next level.
This is a senior, P&L-owning leadership role - we're looking for someone already operating at Associate Director / Head of Division level (or very close to it), with a minimum of 8+ years' recruitment experience and a track record of building and running a desk or division, not just billing on one. If you haven't yet led a team or owned a P&L, this one isn't for you - but we'd still love to hear from you for other opportunities as they come up.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing
- Owning the strategy and growth of our Rail & Civils recruitment services, Blue & White Collar
- Holding full commercial and P&L responsibility for the division
- Managing and growing key client accounts - building senior relationships with Tier 1 clients and PSL stakeholders
- Leading, mentoring and scaling a high-performing recruitment team

- Competitive salary, bonus and benefits, genuine autonomy to shape and grow the division, and a seat at the table in a business that's serious about backing its leaders.
If that's you, get in touch.
