Industrial Recruitment Divisional Manager or Managing Consultant

Brighton or Crawley
Basic salary up to £45,000 + £3,600 car allowance

Wisdom Rec2Rec are partnering with a highly established national recruitment agency that is investing heavily in the growth of its Industrial division across the South East.

With more than 30 years operating in the UK recruitment market, this agency has built a strong reputation across multiple specialist sectors and works with thousands of clients nationwide.

They are now looking to appoint an Industrial Divisional Manager, Managing Consultant, or a Senior Consultant ready to step into leadership to grow and develop their presence across Sussex and the wider South East.

This is a genuine opportunity to build something substantial with the backing of a well known national recruitment brand.

The opportunity

The industrial division in the South East currently operates with an experienced consultant in Crawley, however the agency has identified a major opportunity to significantly expand the operation.

The successful hire will be brought in to:

• Develop and grow the industrial recruitment offering across the South East
• Expand the desk beyond the current local footprint
• Build a strong temporary recruitment desk within the industrial sector
• Win new clients and grow existing relationships
• Recruit and develop additional consultants as the team expands

This is a growth project, meaning the right individual will be given time, support and investment to build a successful division.

Who this role will suit

This opportunity will appeal to someone who is either:

• An Industrial Recruitment Divisional Manager or Managing Consultant who enjoys building teams and growing divisions
• A Senior Industrial Recruiter ready to step into their first leadership role
• Someone with strong experience in industrial temporary recruitment

Candidates from manufacturing, engineering or production recruitment backgrounds will also be considered.

The key requirement is someone with the ambition and commercial mindset to build and grow a desk and ultimately develop a team around them.

Location and working environment

The role can be based from either the Brighton or Crawley office.

The business generally operates an office based culture, however flexibility is absolutely available for the right individual, particularly where commuting is involved.

Package

• Basic salary up to £40,000
• £3,600 car allowance
• Competitive commission structure
• Opportunity to build and lead a growing industrial team
• Full support and infrastructure from an established national recruitment agency

This role offers a rare opportunity for an industrial recruiter who wants to build something meaningful rather than inherit a small desk.

For the right individual, the long term opportunity to grow a division and team is significant.
