GEDON™ is growing.
We are looking for an experienced Account Director to lead key client relationships, manage senior recruitment processes and develop our growing presence across Design, Engineering and Architecture appointments throughout Ireland and Europe.
This is not a cold-start desk. GEDON has established a strong reputation for senior and strategic Commercial and Project Delivery appointments across Ireland, the UK, Europe and APAC, partnering with organisations ranging from specialist subcontractors and engineering businesses to international EPC contractors and global Project & Cost Advisory firms.
Increasingly, those same clients are asking us to support them with critical Design, Engineering and Architectural appointments. The clients already know us. The sectors already know us. The relationships already exist. And many of the candidates already sit within our wider network. We now want someone with the experience and commercial ability to take ownership of that opportunity.
The Role
This is a senior, revenue-generating position for someone who knows how to manage recruitment processes from initial client engagement through to successful acceptance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will develop and manage relationships with key decision-makers, identify hiring requirements, secure assignments and represent senior professionals throughout complex recruitment processes. You will be expected to close: understanding what motivates clients and candidates, maintaining momentum, navigating difficult conversations, managing offers and converting strong relationships into successful appointments and long-term revenue.
Alongside delivery, you will help develop GEDON's presence across Design, Engineering and Architecture and have considerable influence over how the specialism grows.
The Market
Data Centres | Pharmaceutical | Life Sciences | Energy | Renewables | Infrastructure
Our geographic reach includes Ireland, the Nordics, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Italy and other key European markets, with exposure to international organisations and opportunities beyond Europe through GEDON's wider network.
Who We're Looking For
We are interested in experienced recruitment professionals who can demonstrate approximately 7+ years within consultancy recruitment, alongside substantial experience recruiting across the construction, engineering, design or built-environment markets.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will need to be comfortable operating with senior candidates and senior client stakeholders. More importantly, you need to be commercially driven: able to build trust, spot opportunities, influence decisions, manage sophisticated processes and turn conversations into revenue.
Why GEDON?
- A warm market entry - existing clients, relationships and candidate networks across complementary disciplines
- European and international exposure with leading construction, engineering and advisory organisations
- Direct training, mentoring and support from the Managing Director
- Flexible working arrangements
- Annual overseas company trip
- A fast-paced, ambitious culture where performance is recognised
- Genuine opportunity to influence the development of a growing specialism
- A business that prioritises advisory, quality and excellence over transactional recruitment
This is an opportunity to take the platform GEDON has already built and create something significant from it.
Confidential conversations welcome.
