Recruitment Consultant - Senior and Lead - Water
Portsmouth
Permanent
Full Time
Ready to make your mark in one of the UK's most important infrastructure markets?
Carrington West is growing, and we are looking for an experienced recruiter to join our established Water team.
We are open to speaking with people at Recruitment Consultant, Senior Recruitment Consultant or Lead Consultant level. More important than your current job title is your ambition: this is an opportunity for someone who wants to build their market, grow their influence and, ultimately, put themselves in a position to lead and develop the team in the future.
With major investment continuing across the UK water sector, you will be joining a specialist recruitment business with an established brand, strong client relationships and the platform to build a highly successful desk.
Recognised as an IIP Platinum UK Employer of the Year and named by The Sunday Times as one of the Best Places to Work, Carrington West offers the training, support and progression opportunities to help ambitious recruiters achieve more.
The opportunity
Depending on your experience, you will take ownership of a specialist area within the water market, developing relationships with clients and candidates across the sector.
You will have the freedom to grow your desk while benefiting from the wider Carrington West network, including warm leads, existing relationships and cross-selling opportunities across our infrastructure teams.
For someone joining at Senior or Lead level, there will also be the opportunity to play an increasingly important role in the development of the team, supporting colleagues, sharing market knowledge and helping shape our growth strategy.
Longer term, we see this role developing into a leadership opportunity for the right person.
What you'll be doing
- Building and developing strong relationships with clients across the UK water sector
- Growing a specialist recruitment desk and identifying new business opportunities
- Sourcing, engaging and representing high-quality candidates
- Becoming a recognised recruitment expert within your market
- Developing and expanding existing Carrington West client relationships
- Collaborating with other specialist teams to maximise cross-selling opportunities
- Supporting and mentoring colleagues as your role develops
- Contributing to the continued growth and future direction of the Water team
- Working towards taking on greater leadership responsibility as the team expands
Who we're looking for
You could currently be a Recruitment Consultant looking for your next progression opportunity, a Senior Consultant ready for more responsibility, or an established Lead Consultant looking for a genuine route into team leadership.
You’ll ideally bring:
- Recruitment experience within water, engineering, infrastructure, construction or another technical market
- A strong track record of building relationships with clients and candidates
- Commercial confidence and a proactive approach to business development
- The ambition to grow a market rather than simply manage an existing desk
- A collaborative approach and an interest i
