Job description

Recruitment Consultant – Mechanical & Electrical Construction

Location: London

Salary: Up to £35,000 + uncapped commission - DOUBLE YOUR BASIC - paid monthly

Sector: Construction / Mechanical & Electrical

Type: Full-time

Ready to turn your industry knowledge into serious earning potential?

If you’ve built a career in electrical wholesaling, HVAC, heating, ventilation, air conditioning or M&E sales and you’re looking for your next challenge, this could be a fantastic opportunity to move into recruitment.

We’re looking for an ambitious, driven and commercially minded Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team, specialising in the Mechanical & Electrical construction market.

You don’t necessarily need recruitment experience. In fact, your industry knowledge, sales ability and understanding of customers and products could be far more valuable.

Why recruitment?

You already know the market.

You understand contractors, installers, merchants, manufacturers and the people working across the M&E sector. You know the products, the terminology and the challenges businesses face when trying to find good people.

Now imagine using that knowledge to build relationships, win business and make placements – with an uncapped earning opportunity attached.

This is a role where your success can have a direct impact on your earnings.

The Role

As a Recruitment Consultant, you’ll develop your own specialist desk within the M&E construction market.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Building and developing relationships with clients across the M&E and construction sectors
  • Identifying new business opportunities and winning new clients
  • Speaking with candidates and understanding their skills, experience and career ambitions
  • Sourcing and headhunting candidates for specialist roles
  • Managing the recruitment process from initial brief through to placement
  • Negotiating fees and salariesDeveloping long-term relationships with both clients and candidates
  • Growing your own client portfolio and market reputation
  • Working towards ambitious but achievable sales and revenue targets
Who are we looking for?

We’re particularly interested in people who have worked in:

  • Electrical wholesalers
  • HVAC / air conditioning merchants
  • Heating & ventilation
  • M&E distribution
  • Electrical or mechanical products
  • Building services

You could currently be working as an Internal Sales Executive, Branch Sales Manager, Account Manager, Sales Executive, Business Development Manager or Sales Manager and be ready for something different.

What matters most is that you are:

Commercially minded. You understand how to sell and build relationships.

Competitive. You enjoy having targets and want to be rewarded when you hit them.

Ambitious. You want more from your career and, importantly, more from your earning potential.

Resilient. Recruitment is fast-paced and you need to be comfortable picking up the phone, having conversations and creating opportunities.

Personable. People buy from people, and relationships are at the heart of successful recruitment.

What’s in it for you?

This is an opportunity to take the knowledge you've already built in the M&E sector and turn it into a highly rewarding sales career.

  • Competitive basic salary
  • Uncapped commission
  • Realistic opportunity to significantly increase your earnings
  • Full training and support – recruitment experience isn't essential
  • Opportunity to specialise in a lucrative niche market
  • Clear career progression
  • The opportunity to build your own desk and client base
  • Recognition and rewards for high performance
The opportunity

If you're good at sales, enjoy dealing with people and have always felt you could earn more, this could be the move you've been waiting for.

You don't need to start again from scratch. Your knowledge of the M&E and construction market is your advantage.

Bring the industry experience. We'll teach you the recruitment side.

If you're ambitious, commercially driven and want your earning potential to match your effort, we'd love to hear from you.
