Team Leader Engineering Recruitment Manager
Senior Recruiter / Team Leader – Engineering Facultative Recruitment
Our client, a rapidly growing recruitment consultancy with a strong engineering-focused desk, is seeking an ambitious Senior Recruiter or Team Leader to take charge of their Perm Blue Collar Engineering team. This is a development opportunity for progression from Team Leader into a full Manager role, working closely with the Managing Director to reshape and grow a team with a solid foundation but limited commercial drive.
The Role
- Take ownership of billing and sales performance for an established Perm Engineering desk
- Lead, coach, and develop a current team of four, scaling to six within the next 18 months
- Drive new business while reactivating some lapsed accounts—this is a sales-led role, not purely account management
- Bring genuine sales-driven energy to a team that leans more heavily on account management, helping them reach their potential
- Attain a personal billing target plus an additional team override bonus
