US Contract Recruitment Director
US Construction | Infrastructure | Civils | Data Centres
We’re looking for an experienced US Contract Recruiter who wants to build something rather than inherit something.
The opportunity is to take full ownership of launching a US contract division within one of the following markets:
- Data Centres
- Infrastructure
- Civils
- Construction
You’ll have the backing, freedom, and resources to build the division your way — including developing the client base, building your own team, and setting the direction of the business.
This is a genuine opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond running a desk and have a much bigger stake in what they build.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for building the US contract division from the ground up.
That means:
- Developing and winning new US clients
- Building and managing your own contractor network
- Establishing the contract recruitment operation
- Deciding where and how to grow the market
- Building a team around you
- Managing and developing consultants
- Taking ownership of revenue and growth
- Helping shape the wider US strategy
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
You’ll have a bespoke commission structure, uncapped earning potential, and genuine autonomy over how you build the business.
The Person
We’re specifically looking for someone with proven US contract recruitment experience. You’ll ideally have a strong background recruiting into:
- Data Centres
- Construction
- Civil Engineering
- Infrastructure
You don't need to have built an entire division before, but you do need to understand the US contract market, know how to win business, and have the ambition to build a team around you.
We're interested in people who are commercially minded, entrepreneurial, and want more responsibility than a standard recruitment management role offers.

Where This Can Go
For the right person, this isn't simply a job with a bigger title. There is a genuine opportunity to progress into a Board-level position and have shares in the business as the division develops.
You’ll have a direct influence on the direction of the US operation and the opportunity to build a team and revenue stream that you ultimately have a stake in.
Package

- Uncapped earning potential
- Bespoke commission structure
- Flexible working
- Full ownership of building the division
- Full ownership of building your team
- Board-level progression
- Share opportunity
- Significant long-term earning potential
- £100k+ OTE
