Job description

A rare growth opportunity that genuinely offers two things at once.

You'll spend your time on hands-on recruitment delivery across senior, technical, and corporate roles and the rest coaching and developing our stakeholders and building the team. Working directly alongside the Director of People & Culture, you'll take full ownership of ADP's end-to-end recruitment.

This role exists to provide both delivery and mentoring continuity, which means you'll step in with real trust, genuine autonomy, and a seat at the table from day one.

If you're a recruiter who's ready to sharpen your craft, grow your leadership, and do it inside a P&C function that's valued, well-resourced, and moving fast this one's for you.

Who we are

ADP Consulting is a sustainability-led engineering consultancy with over 350 people across Australia, and London. We work on commercial, mission-critical and landmark projects for clients that include data centre operators, major property developers, and government. In 2024 we joined Ayesa, one of the world's largest technology and engineering groups, which has opened up significant international growth and pathways for our people.

Our P&C function is lean, strategic and respected internally. We partner directly with the Founding Directors, Executive and Board, and we've delivered measurable results on turnover, gender pay gap, workforce planning and AI integration. This role sits in the middle of that.

The role

Reporting directly to the Director of People & Culture, your time will be split across two key focus areas:

The recruitment part (~80%)

• End-to-end delivery on senior, technical and corporate roles across the business
• Proactive sourcing through LinkedIn Recruiter, headhunting, market mapping and passive candidate engagement
• Hiring manager partnership and advisory - understanding workforce needs, advising on market conditions, supporting decisions
• Candidate experience ownership end to end, and for both candidates and hiring managers

The leadership part (~20%)

• Leveraging your leadership capability to lead and influence stakeholder engagement
• Coaching hiring managers on best practice interviewing, selection and bias mitigation

About you

You’ll succeed in this role if you:

• Have 5+ years in recruitment or talent acquisition, ideally in engineering, consulting or another technical environment
• Have built talent pipelines in technical markets and can speak credibly to the engineers and professionals you’re hiring
• Interested in building your leadership capability
• Are energised by fast-changing businesses where you get to shape how things work, not just execute a process
• Can challenge a hiring manager respectfully, hold your ground when the shortlist isn’t right, and close senior candidates with confidence
• Are comfortable with ATS and HRIS platforms (JobAdder experience is a plus)
