To support our rapid growth, we’re looking for a high‑impact, hard‑selling Recruiter who thrives in competitive talent markets and knows how to engage, influence, and close top engineering and site‑based talent.

This is not a role for the faint hearted or for those who will take the 'post and pray' approach. This is a role for someone who is passionate about building networks, finding the talents that no-one else can, and takes pride in building a robust talent pools for now, and for the future.

As a Talent Acquisition Partner for Site, Construction and Commissioning roles, you'll play a key role in our recruitment efforts across our businesses within EMEA.

How you’ll make an impact

• Raise the hiring bar: Coach and influence Hiring Managers and HRBPs with data‑backed recommendations on profiles, assessment, and process design; align demand with market reality and ensure crisp, decision‑oriented hiring forums.
• Run a tight, high‑velocity process: Orchestrate structured sourcing sprints, keep slates warm, and move candidates from first touch to offer with urgency—while maintaining excellent candidate experience and rigorous compliance.
• Strengthen our employer brand at source: Tailor go‑to‑market messaging for site‑based communities (events, associations, referrals, guilds) and convert brand interest into qualified pipelines, especially for hard‑to‑hire geographies.
