Capex Recruitment in Manufacturing - Build Your Desk in a Growing Market
Are you an experienced 360 Recruitment Consultant looking for greater earning potential, more autonomy, and the opportunity to develop a specialist desk within engineering and manufacturing?
We’re expanding our presence within Capex-led manufacturing projects - a sector driven by ongoing industrial investment across production upgrades, plant expansion and infrastructure development.
Why This Opportunity?
- You’ll be joining a growing team within Capex-led manufacturing projects, led by a highly experienced Manager with a strong track record of building successful recruitment teams across technical and engineering markets.
- Unlike fully established desks, this opportunity sits in a developing part of the business. That means you won’t be inheriting a saturated market; you’ll be helping shape and grow the desk as the sector evolves.
- From day one, you’ll be building your own client relationships while operating within an environment that already understands how to win in engineering recruitment.
- You’ll have the structure, support and leadership in place - but the opportunity to define your own market presence.
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.
A Market Built on Capital Investment
Capex manufacturing projects sit at the centre of long-term industrial investment strategies, covering plant upgrades, production expansion and large-scale engineering programmes.
This creates a recruitment environment driven by:
- Long-term project lifecycles
- High-value technical hiring
- Repeat client demand
- Ongoing capital investment
For recruiters, this means fewer transactional placements and more sustained, relationship-led business with major manufacturing organisations.
Leadership & Environment
- You’ll report directly into a Manager with extensive experience in engineering and technical recruitment, known for building high-performing teams and developing consultants into strong billers.
- This is a performance-led environment with clear expectations and high standards, balanced by strong day-to-day support and guidance.
- The focus is on enabling consultants to operate independently while giving them the commercial backing to succeed.

Platform & Support
- As part of an established engineering recruitment business, you’ll have access to full central support functions including Finance, Compliance, Marketing, HR, Internal Recruitment, Health & Safety, Fleet and IT.
- You’ll also benefit from investment in sourcing tools, CRM systems and recruitment technology designed to support delivery in specialist markets.
- This infrastructure allows you to focus on client development, candidate delivery and building a sustainable desk.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for an experienced 360 Recruitment Consultant with a background in engineering, technical or specialist markets.
- You’ll be commercially driven, confident developing new business and comfortable working in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment.
- Manufacturing or industrial recruitment experience is beneficial but not essential, the key requirement is the ability to build relationships and grow a desk within a specialist market.
