Job description

Business Unit Leader - EPC & Construction

Build your business. Lead your market. Shape the future of recruitment.

We're looking for an experienced recruitment leader to build and lead talisman's EPC & Construction practice in Los Angeles.

This isn't a role where you'll inherit a small desk and spend years navigating internal politics. It's an opportunity to build a market-leading business on top of an established platform, with the autonomy to make it your own.

You'll have the freedom to define your market, develop your client strategy, hire your own team and scale your business however you see fit.

The platform is already here. Now we need the right leader.

What you'll get:

• The opportunity to build and lead your own specialist business unit
• Access to hundreds of warm client relationships across energy, infrastructure, construction and industrial markets
• No unnecessary restrictions on geography, vertical or growth strategy
• A high-performance, entrepreneurial culture where decisions are made quickly
• Direct access to experienced founders who have built successful recruitment businesses.
• Dedicated operations, finance, marketing and talent acquisition support, allowing you to focus on growing your desk
• Outstanding earning potential with a genuine pathway to senior leadership and future equity opportunities

What you'll be doing:

You'll continue billing while building something much bigger.

Working with some of North America's leading EPC contractors, engineering consultancies, developers, owners and infrastructure businesses, you'll grow a specialist practice across permanent, contract and executive search while hiring and developing a high-performing team around you.

Whether your expertise is in power, utilities, renewables, industrials, transportation, water, oil & gas or mission-critical construction, we'll give you the platform to become the go-to recruiter in your market.

Who we're looking for:

You're already a successful recruiter, Team Leader, Manager or Director with a strong track record of winning business, delivering exceptional recruitment solutions and building long-term client relationships.

Most importantly, you're entrepreneurial.

You want more ownership. More freedom. More influence over your own success.

If you're ready to build something that reflects your ambition rather than someone else's structure, we'd love to speak with you.
