Recruitment Consultant – Technical & Engineering

Location: Dublin (Hybrid)

Type: Full-time, Permanent

About Us

We're a specialist boutique recruitment agency working across Life Sciences, Food, Engineering and Manufacturing. Our clients trust us to deliver skilled professionals into technical and business-critical roles. We operate as a small, driven team where consultants run their desks with genuine autonomy. So you'll get the support, systems, and brand of an established agency without the bureaucracy of a large corporate.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to lead and grow our Technical & Engineering desk, covering roles such as Service Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, Breakdown / Break-Fix Engineers, Mechanical Engineers and Electrical Engineers within Life Sciences and Food manufacturing.

This is a 360 role, where you'll manage the full recruitment process from business development and client management to candidate sourcing and placement. It's a chance to establish yourself as the go-to recruiter in a high-demand market with the autonomy to shape and expand your desk.

What You'll Do
  • Build and grow a desk specialising in technical and engineering roles
  • Engage and manage senior-level candidates across specialist functions
  • Develop new and existing client relationships, identifying opportunities for growth
  • Manage the full recruitment lifecycle: sourcing, interviewing, shortlisting, and placement
  • Negotiate terms and fees while maintaining long-term relationships
  • Contribute to the growth of the wider business through collaboration and mentoring
What We're Looking For
  • 4+ years' agency recruitment experience, ideally in engineering, manufacturing, or technical markets
  • Track record in client engagement and fee generation
  • Confidence to speak credibly with engineers, technical managers, and senior stakeholders
  • Business development skills with a strategic approach to building a desk
  • Strong candidate management and communication skills
  • Resilience, drive, and genuine enjoyment of recruitment
What We Offer
  • The chance to lead and grow a specialist desk in a high-demand market
  • Autonomy to shape your market while backed by an experienced team
  • Mature, collaborative working culture with no micro-management
  • Hybrid working and modern recruitment tech stack
  • Competitive salary and commission structure with clear progression opportunities
  • The role offers flexibility to work fully remote or hybrid. To be successful you'll need to be currently resident in Ireland, as we are unable to consider overseas or relocation applicants.
