The Opportunity:

SEARCH is a leading name in technical recruitment, and we are dominating the high-growth Transmission & Distribution energy space. With over £35bn of investment flooding into UK energy infrastructure over the next five years, our specialist division is at the heart of one of the UK's most fast-paced and lucrative markets.

We have the established client base, the market reputation, and the expert team. Now, we need a driven 360 Recruitment Consultant to hunt, win, and deliver contract talent for major substation projects across the UK.

Your Role:

As a 360 Consultant, you will:

· Source & Sell: Proactively headhunt high-calibre contract candidates (Engineers, Project Managers, Commissioning Specialists, etc.) within the substation sector.

· Business Development: Use our existing client base as a launch pad to grow your own desk, identifying and winning new business opportunities.

· Full-Cycle Recruitment: Manage the entire process from candidate sourcing and interviewing to negotiation, placement, and account management.

· Drive Margin: Focus on placing niche, high-value contractors in a candidate-short market where your expertise commands premium rates.

· Be a Key Player: Contribute to the growth and reputation of our market-leading T&D team.

What You MUST Have:

· Proven sales ability and a background in a target-driven sales or recruitment role.

· Exceptional resilience and a relentless, hungry attitude.

· High confidence and superb communication skills.

· Strong commercial awareness and business acumen.

· Excellent organisational and admin skills - you own your process.

· IT proficiency and the ability to learn new systems quickly.

· A full UK driving licence.

· A genuine desire to learn, self-develop, and become a sector expert.

What We Expect:

· Accountability: You own your desk and your results.

· Drive: An unwavering ambition to build and bill.

· Relentlessness: A commitment to doing what it takes to achieve and exceed targets.

What SEARCH Offers:

· Excellent Basic Salary + Industry-Leading Commission Scheme (Realistic OTE £80K+).

· Clear Career Progression: Advance via billing (Senior/Principal Consultant) or move into team leadership/management.

· Comprehensive Training: Ongoing sector and recruitment training.

· High-Performance Culture: Monthly incentives, quarterly "High Flyers" rewards, and unforgettable annual High Flyers trips abroad.

· Supportive Environment: Work alongside seasoned specialists in a collaborative, ambitious team.
