If so, KPI Recruiting would love to hear from you.

We have a fantastic opportunity to join our Warrington Branch as a Senior Permanent Recruitment Consultant, specialising in Engineering & Manufacturing. This role is ideal for an experienced recruiter looking to take real ownership of their desk while being supported by a £45m recruitment business with proven systems, strong leadership, and structured training in place.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and developing a permanent recruitment desk within Engineering & Manufacturing
• Recruiting across FMCG, Aerospace & Automotive, and General Manufacturing, with the opportunity to shape your own vertical discipline over time
• Managing and growing a portfolio of high-value clients, acting as a trusted recruitment partner
• Leading business development activities to win new permanent opportunities
• Delivering permanent technical and professional hires across a range of skill levels
• Crafting compelling job adverts and running multi‑channel candidate attraction campaigns

• Negotiating terms, fees, and offers with confidence
• Ensuring full compliance with recruitment and employment standards
• Taking ownership of your desk performance, pipeline, and long‑term growth
• Supporting and mentoring junior consultants as the team expands

What We’re Looking For

• Proven recruitment experience within Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related technical sector
• A strong permanent recruitment background, or clear ambition to specialise in perms
• A confident communicator with excellent relationship‑building skills
• A commercially driven mindset with the motivation to grow a market from the ground up
• Strong organisation, time management, and pipeline control
• Experience working to KPIs and financial targets
• A desire to progress, take ownership, and develop into a true market specialist
