Talent Acquisition Advisor

Dalkia Engineering - We are a leading provider of M&E engineering solutions across the UK, delivering complex projects within healthcare, defence, government, industrial and infrastructure sector

About the role

At the start of 2026, Dalkia Engineering strengthened its in‑house recruitment capability with the introduction of a dedicated Talent Acquisition Business Partner and Adviser. This investment has already delivered strong results, including a reduction in reliance on recruitment agencies and a more consistent, high‑quality recruitment experience across the business.

Building on this momentum, we are now looking to further grow our Talent Acquisition team with the addition of an additional Talent Acquisition Advisor. This role will support the continued development of our direct hiring model and play a key part in how we attract, engage, and hire talent across Dalkia Engineering.

This role is focused on recruitment in the North and therefore the Bolton office is an ideal location for this hybrid role although some nationwide travel will be required.

Operating within a matrix organisation, and in an industry that experiences regular peaks and troughs in recruitment demand, this is a varied and fast‑paced role suited to a recruiter who enjoys balancing high‑volume and specialist hiring while building strong stakeholder relationships.
