Site Manager

Ignite Recruitment Services have over 20 years of experience in the construction industry. We strongly believe in being of service to our clients. We make it a point to ensure that the experience candidates and clients have with us is only a positive one.

The construction industry is not a 9-5 job; and neither do we subscribe to this mind set. We believe that a construction recruitment company needs to be always available on the phone or in person 24/7/365.
