Job description

Recruitment Consultant - Facilities Management

We’re in the strongest position we’ve ever been – record margins, reduced overheads, and a culture of performance without ego. But now, it’s time to give the Fire & Security sector the dedicated focus it deserves.

We’re looking for an experienced Facilities Management Recruitment Consultant who is ready to own and build out a Perm Fire & Security desk, with a clear pathway to leading and scaling that division. If you’ve worked in FM recruitment and are looking for a role with real autonomy, ownership, and leadership potential, this is your opportunity.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and growing a Perm Fire & Security desk within the FM sector
• Working live vacancies and tapping into warm client relationships across the UK
• Leading the development of a Fire & Security division with full leadership backing
• Establishing long-term client partnerships – no transactional KPIs here
• Positioning yourself as a future Divisional Lead as the team scales
• Autonomy: You’ll own your desk and shape the division your way
• Support: Hands-on leadership who bill, plus external mentors & investment in your growth
• Commission: No threshold, up to 30% uncapped
• Transparent structure designed for high-performers
• Culture & Incentives: Quarterly team days, sports events & proper recognition
• No micromanagement, no red tape – just a team that wants you to succeed
• Hours: Mon–Thurs: 9–4:45 | Fri: 9–4 (early Friday finish!)

What We’re Looking For

• Strong understanding of Fire & Security sector or a desire to specialise in it
• Proven track record of billing success or the drive to build a desk from ground up
• Ambition to step into leadership within the next 12–18 months
• Self-starter with a commercial mindset – you see the bigger picture
• You’re humble, driven, and results-focused – no bravado, just delivery
• Retained work in play with key clients
• Divisional managers who still bill and mentor hands-on
• Growth plans to hit 12+ heads this year
• Strong social impact focus – charity partnerships, community initiatives
• Investment in branding, podcasts & marketing to amplify your desk’s presence

You’ll be joining a high-performing team, in its best year yet, with the opportunity to lead and scale the Fire & Security division as your own business unit within the company.
