Build & Lead an Engineering Division – With Full P&L Ownership

We are partnering with an established, well-invested recruitment business based in Reading that has successfully scaled a high-performing IT division.

They are now launching their Engineering vertical and are seeking a Lead Recruitment Consultant to take ownership of developing and scaling this new division.

This isn’t just another senior consultant role – it’s an opportunity to build a division, manage your own P&L, and shape the strategic direction of Engineering within a profitable and ambitious business.

---

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Full P&L responsibility within Engineering

• Backed by an established and profitable IT recruitment arm

• Warm introductions into key Engineering accounts (including F1 and advanced manufacturing) via investor networks

• No PSL model – focus on exclusive, high-quality assignments

• Clear progression pathway into divisional leadership

• Central Reading office location

• 09:30–17:30 working hours – high performance without burnout

You’ll be building something meaningful — but with infrastructure, brand presence, leadership support, and financial backing already in place.

The Role

This is a 360 recruitment position with a strong emphasis on both business development and delivery.

You will:

• Develop and execute the Engineering growth strategy

• Drive new business and secure exclusive client partnerships

• Leverage warm, high-value introductions into key Engineering accounts

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from client briefing to offer management

• Build long-term, consultative relationships with Engineering clients

• Contribute strategically to the growth and direction of the division

---

What We’re Looking For

• Proven 360 recruitment experience (Engineering sector preferred)

• Strong track record in business development and client acquisition

• Ambition to build and lead a vertical, not just manage a desk

• Commercial awareness with interest in P&L responsibility

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

• High standards, professionalism, and a results-driven mindset

---

What’s On Offer

• Up to £45,000 basic (depending on experience)

• Lucrative, uncapped commission structure

• Clear pathway into divisional leadership

• Direct access to decision-makers and strategic influence

• Entrepreneurial, growth-focused environment

• A role where your impact will be visible and rewarded

If you’re an ambitious Engineering recruiter ready to step into true ownership and build a division within a well-backed, established platform, we’d love to hear from you.
