Job description

Senior Engineering & Manufacturing Recruitment Consultant

Competitive salary + uncapped commission

Belfast City Centre

You've built relationships, developed markets and delivered results within Engineering & Manufacturing recruitment. What's next?

At MCS Group, we're building an ambitious, internationally connected talent consultancy. As we continue to grow our Engineering & Manufacturing division, we're looking for experienced recruiters who want more than just another desk.

Joining MCS is about building on your success, not starting from scratch. Whether your expertise lies in manufacturing, engineering, operations, supply chain, automation, maintenance, procurement, quality, projects or executive‑level appointments, you'll have the platform, support and autonomy to grow your market and shape the future of our division.

With access to a strong brand, established client relationships and a collaborative leadership team, you'll have the opportunity to influence strategy, develop new opportunities and build a career with genuine long‑term progression.

Built to help you perform

Great recruiters should spend their time advising customers, building relationships and creating opportunities.

You will be supported by specialist teams across:

• Marketing and employer branding
• Finance and administration
• Compliance and quality
• Research and market intelligence
• Learning and development
• Technology and business transformation

You will also have access to modern recruitment technology, data, automation and AI-enabled tools designed to improve your insight, customer service, performance and earning potential.

Your career. More than one path.

Not every great recruiter wants to manage people, and not every future leader is already in management.

At MCS, you can progress as a high‑performing specialist and trusted market expert, or build a career through key account, commercial, leadership and Director‑level roles.

We actively look for potential. If you can lead, innovate or build something commercially valuable, we will help you develop it.

What you will bring

We want to speak to recruiters who have:

• A successful track record in permanent, temporary, contract or executive recruitment
• Strong customer relationships and commercial instincts
• The confidence to develop business and create opportunities
• High standards for candidate and client service
• Curiosity about markets, technology and the future of recruitment
• The ambition to keep learning, progressing and earning more
• Ideas, energy and the appetite to help shape a growing business

Your sector and current location matter less than your capability, reputation and ambition.

Why MCS Group?

• Competitive salary and uncapped commission
• An established and impressive client base
• Clear specialist, commercial and leadership career pathways
• Industry‑leading learning and development
• Exceptional marketing, finance, administration and compliance support
• Investment in technology, automation, data and AI
• The freedom to innovate and influence our growth
• Private medical insurance and health cash plan
• Hybrid working and enhanced family benefits
• Investors in People Gold accreditation
• An independent Google review rating of 4.9 stars
• The opportunity to join an ambitious talent consultancy with international reach

Still ambitious? Good.

You have already built the skills. The question is whether your current business can still match your ambition.

If you are successful but standing still, come and have a confidential conversation with us. There does not need to be a live role with your name on it-sometimes the right person creates the opportunity.

MCS Group is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. If you require a reasonable adjustment during the recruitment process, please contact us.

You have already proved what you can do. Now build something bigger.
