Job description

Job Description

Have you recruited experienced engineering talent for the Canadian nuclear and hydroelectric power industries? Or maybe you've worked on similar searches in the broader civil engineering and infrastructure sectors and you're interested in specializing?

I'm helping an international engineering staffing & consulting firm find a specialist direct hire recruiter to join its Toronto team. The Toronto team supplies contract engineering talent for nuclear and civil engineering projects in Ontario and across Canada. They've earned a strong reputation for expertise, reliability, and contractor care.

Their success has generated increasing demand from existing clients for assistance with permanent full-time roles. We're looking for a Senior Recruiter to meet that demand with a focus on headhunting experienced professionals for permanent positions in the Ontario electricity sector. Typical searches command higher salaries, fees, and personal commissions than more generalist agencies.

You'll need at least a couple of years of experience recruiting relevant talent for permanent positions with key players including EPCs and consulting firms, ideally with some previous recruiting experience in power generation, transmission, and distribution. You'll need to be comfortable working independently and managing a busy desk as you'll be working on a steady stream of permanent searches from day one. You'll work with a dedicated client relationship management team to onboard and close roles so you'll be free to focus on delivery.

In the long run, we're looking for an experienced recruiter who's interested in being part of a dedicated perms function. You'll work with a leadership team that's primarily promoted from within and sales & recruiting teams with some of the best tenure and retention in the industry to make it happen.

This role offers a base salary starting at $70,000+ with uncapped commissions from the first dollra (minimum year 1 OTE: $120,000+) and a comprehensive benefits package. You'll work from the Toronto office two days a week so you'll need to be local to the Greater Toronto Area.

If you're interested or you'd like to learn more, you can apply above with your resume or LinkedIn profile. Or connect with me directly via LinkedIn or via email to [e-mail]

Position requirements

• 2+ years of permanent recruiting experience in an agency environment
• 2+ years of experience recruiting technical professionals in the engineering sector
• Experience working directly with hiring managers for permanent searches would be helpful but isn't necessary
• Must have a working understanding of the talent landscape in the Ontario power generation, distribution, and tranmission ecosystem
• Must be independently legally-authorized to work in Canada
