Head of Energy Recruitment

Contract Scotland was established to redefine recruitment and set a new standard, to challenge how the recruitment industry works. We don’t work to a traditional target and commission model, which gives us the unique ability to provide our customers with an objective and transparent service that delivers true value and lasting impact to their lives and businesses.

An important pillar of our current strategy is to continue our development into energy, renewables and power, building a team and a core part of our business, which currently includes the breadth of the construction/engineering industry, CS International (working with construction & engineering businesses around the world), and a wider business support offering. Our ultimate aim is to be regarded as the local experts by employers within this sphere and the first point of call for job seekers seeking advice or who might be considering a new position.

We have a massive opportunity to use our existing reputation and network (painstakingly built over the last 35 years) to expand and launch this part of our business in a much more meaningful way. You’ll be supported by our experienced board of Directors, all of whom are passionate about building this part of our business and are ready to provide whatever input you require to succeed. In an ideal world, the role would be based out of our main office in Stirling (well positioned to cover the sector within Scotland), but we are responsive to alternatives.

To be successful, you’ll need to be a proficient recruiter (we’re open minded as to the ‘level’ here, so you might currently be a Senior/Principal Consultant, Managing Consultant, Senior Manager, or possibly even in a Director role), with previous experience in recruitment for the energy market, and a passion for it. Your role will be pretty varied, but will definitely need you to:

• Influence (potentially lead the creation of) & lead our energy recruitment strategy.
• Conduct regular market and sector specific analysis.
• Have oversight/involvement with P&L for your part of the business.
• Carry out strategic business development & relationship building with targeted customers – both remotely and face to face.
• React to & assess alternative opportunities as they arise.
• Handle negotiations with customers.
• Organise events for customers & attend industry events, where of value.
• Drive marketing/promotion for the business, working with our in-house Marketing Manager.
• Manage a high volume of job seeker interest, assessing those applications, and proactively approaching key targets utilising market-leading tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter.
• Build, manage and lead a high-performing team.

Worth noting that we have a comprehensive benefits package for the team at Contract Scotland, so you can expect:

• A company car/car allowance scheme.
• Uncapped profit share.
• Excellent private health insurance (no excess) covering both physical & mental health.
• Hybrid/remote working.
• Enhanced annual leave allowance plus additional days for loyalty.
• Extra day off on your birthday.
• Use of a modern holiday home on the banks of Loch Ness.
