What if your next move wasn’t just a better job — but a business you can actually build and own?

Private equity backed. Founder led. Built for serious growth.

Now hiring: Divisional Director - Engineering & Construction Recruitment

West London / Heathrow Area

The Opportunity

This is a leadership role with real ownership. You will build and lead your own division, shape the culture, and scale a high-performing team with full backing behind you.

This is not about maintaining a desk.

This is about building something meaningful, profitable, and yours in all but name.

If you have ever felt capped, overlooked, or restricted by slow decision-making, this is where that changes.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most Director roles offer a bigger title with the same limitations.

This opportunity gives you the platform, backing, and autonomy to grow properly.

The business has continued to scale while others have slowed down — partnering with major Engineering and Construction clients across the UK and building a reputation as one of the standout performers within the Hamilton Bradshaw portfolio.

No legacy structure. No unnecessary layers. No ceiling on growth.

Backed by private equity with real capital to invest in people, markets, and expansion.

Built by a founder who is hands-on, commercially sharp, and committed to growing this alongside you.

Positioned to compete at the top end of the market, with the infrastructure and ambition to match.

Highly competitive salary. Uncapped commission. A package aligned to true Director-level impact. Equity potential for the right person.

What You Will Bring

• Strong track record in Engineering or Construction recruitment
• Proven ability to lead, develop, and grow high-performing teams
• Commercial mindset with ownership of revenue and performance
• Confidence to build, scale, and take ownership of a division
• Deep understanding of technical roles, complex projects, and multi-stakeholder clients

This Role Will Move Quickly

If you are an ambitious agency recruiter within Engineering and Construction and want a bigger platform, more control, and real upside — this is the conversation to have.

All conversations handled with full confidentiality.
