Recruitment Consultant – U.S. Energy

London | £30,000-£45,000 Basic | 15%-30% Uncapped Commission | Quarterly U.S. Trips

Want to recruit into the booming U.S. market… without working U.S. hours?

If you’re an experienced Recruitment Consultant from white collar construction, engineering, built environment, M&E, energy, utilities or technical recruitment, this could be the career move you’ve been waiting for.

Our client is a fast-growing specialist recruitment business operating exclusively across the clean energy, power and infrastructure sectors throughout North America. Recruiting into a market where demand for skilled professionals significantly outweighs supply, you’ll enjoy larger fees, stronger earning potential and genuine long-term career progression.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to take your recruitment career into one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world. You’ll partner with engineering and construction professionals working on major U.S. infrastructure, power and renewable energy projects, building long-term client relationships while recruiting across permanent vacancies.

Working UK office hours, you’ll recruit for Project Managers, Construction Managers, Electrical Engineers, Transmission & Distribution professionals and Renewable Energy specialists, benefiting from average placement fees of £20,000-£30,000+.

What’s On Offer?

You’ll receive a competitive basic salary of £30,000-£45,000, alongside an uncapped commission structure ranging from 15%-30%, with clear progression as your career develops.

High performers are rewarded further through commission accelerators of 40% once annual billings exceed £500k, increasing to 50% beyond £700k, plus quarterly bonuses of up to £1,000 for consistent performance.

Alongside exceptional earning potential you’ll benefit from structured training, external coaching, genuine career development, regular team incentives, quarterly U.S. business trips, birthday leave, Christmas shutdown and a collaborative culture that genuinely invests in its people.

About You

You’ll already have recruitment experience within construction, engineering, technical, utilities or another white-collar sector. More importantly, you’ll be ambitious, commercially minded and excited by the opportunity to build a lucrative desk in one of the world’s busiest infrastructure markets.

If you’re looking for larger fees, bigger earnings and genuine career progression, we’d love to hear from you.
