Build Your Future in Engineering, Systems & Automation

Are you an experienced 360 Engineering Recruitment Consultant looking for greater earning potential, genuine autonomy and the opportunity to build a specialist desk in a high-growth engineering market?

Engineering, Systems & Automation is one of the fastest-growing sectors in engineering, driven by significant capital investment, automation adoption and sustained demand for specialist technical talent.

We’re expanding our presence in this market and are looking for a recruiter who wants to build long-term client relationships, work high-value roles and develop a scalable desk within a project-led sector.

Why This Opportunity?

You’ll join an established team operating across the Engineering Systems and Automation markets, working within a broad and fast-growing sector that offers significant scope to build your own desk and develop a specialist area.

From day one, you’ll work as a 360 Recruitment Consultant, taking ownership of both client development and candidate delivery. You’ll build relationships with engineering-led businesses, understand their hiring challenges and identify opportunities to support them with specialist talent.

The market covers a wide range of technologies, businesses and engineering disciplines, giving you the opportunity to explore the sector and develop a specialism that plays to your strengths. Whether that’s within a particular technology, skill set or area of automation, you’ll have the freedom to carve out your own niche and become a recognised expert within your market.

Supported by an established division, proven processes and a strong internal platform, you’ll have everything you need to grow a high-performing, specialist recruitment desk.

Leadership & Environment

You’ll report into a senior Manager with over 25 years’ experience within the business, leading with high standards, clear expectations and a strong focus on performance.

This is a high-performance environment where consultants are expected to deliver but equally supported with the structure and resources to succeed.

Alongside this, you’ll work closely with one of the division’s top billers, gaining direct exposure to proven approaches to developing and scaling a successful desk in this market.

A Market With Real Scope

This opportunity is defined by sector, not geography, creating access to a wide range of clients, roles and long-term recruitment opportunities.

With a focus on contract recruitment, you’ll operate in a project-driven environment shaped by ongoing investment, repeat business and sustained demand for specialist engineering talent.

This creates a genuine platform to build a resilient, high-earning desk over the long term.

Backed by a Business Built for Performance

As part of one of the UK’s leading engineering and infrastructure recruitment businesses, you’ll benefit from full central support functions including Finance, Compliance, Marketing, HR, Internal Recruitment, Health & Safety, Fleet and IT.

This infrastructure allows consultants to focus on what matters – building relationships, winning business and delivering results.

We continue to invest heavily in technology, candidate attraction tools, sales enablement systems and a purpose-built CRM platform to support specialist delivery.

Combined with structured progression, agile working and genuine autonomy, this is an environment designed for high-performing recruiters who want control over their success.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced 360 Engineering Recruitment Consultant with a proven track record in contract recruitment.

You’ll be commercially driven, confident developing client relationships and comfortable working in a delivery-focused, fast-paced environment.

Experience within engineering, technical or specialist markets is beneficial, but not essential – what matters most is your ability to build relationships and grow a desk.
