* Support vetting and security clearance processes

* Ensure full compliance (right-to-work, qualifications, site requirements)

* Maintain accurate records and internal systems

Who We’re Looking For

* Experience in recruitment (all sectors considered) OR a background in construction, site coordination, or workforce planning

* Strong organisational and communication skills

* Confident working with both clients and site-based workers

* Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

* Proactive, reliable, and solution-focused

Why Join Fortel?

* Work on a major UK infrastructure project

* No sales or business development – purely delivery-focused
