Engineering & Manufacturing Recruitment Manager/Team Leader 

Leicester | Hybrid Working Available | £40,000 - £55,000 Basic Salary + Uncapped Commission

Build Something Bigger Than Just Another Recruitment Desk

Are you an experienced Engineering, Manufacturing or Industrial Recruitment Consultant looking for the opportunity to play a key role within a growing independent recruitment business?

This is a unique opportunity to join a well-established recruitment company in Leicester and work directly alongside the CEO to develop and expand its Engineering & Manufacturing division. You'll have genuine influence over the direction of the sector, the freedom to make decisions and the opportunity to become a key part of the company's long-term growth plans.

This isn't a corporate environment with layers of management and restrictive processes. It's a business that values entrepreneurial thinking, rewards success and gives experienced recruiters the autonomy needed to develop a highly successful desk and make a real impact.

Whether you're currently a Senior Recruitment Consultant, Principal Consultant, Business Manager or Recruitment Team Leader, this role offers the chance to take the next step in your career while continuing to bill, develop clients and establish yourself as a leading recruiter within the engineering and manufacturing market.

The Opportunity

Focusing on engineering, manufacturing, industrial and technical recruitment, you'll be responsible for developing new business opportunities, managing and growing client accounts, identifying high-calibre talent and delivering recruitment solutions across permanent, contract and interim positions.

Working with manufacturing businesses, engineering organisations, production facilities and industrial employers throughout the Midlands and across the UK, you'll build long-term partnerships and become a trusted recruitment specialist within the sector.

As the division continues to grow, you'll have the opportunity to help shape its future, develop best practices and potentially build a team around you.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with recruiters from Engineering Recruitment, Manufacturing Recruitment, Industrial Recruitment, Technical Recruitment, Production Recruitment, Supply Chain Recruitment or Skilled Trades Recruitment backgrounds.

You will have a proven track record of business development, account management, sales success and revenue generation, combined with the drive and ambition to help grow a successful independent recruitment business.

Strong relationship-building skills, commercial awareness and a consultative approach are essential, alongside the ability to win new business and develop long-term client partnerships.

Benefits 

In addition to a competitive basic salary and uncapped commission structure, you'll benefit from:

  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
  • Excellent commission scheme with no threshold cap
  • Direct access to the CEO and involvement in strategic decisions
  • Genuine autonomy to run and develop your market
  • Clear progression opportunities as the business grows
  • Opportunity to build and lead a future team
  • Supportive, collaborative and non-corporate culture
  • Modern recruitment tools and technology
  • Regular incentives and team rewards
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Pension scheme
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Free onsite parking
  • Work-life balance focused environment
  • Opportunity to make a genuine impact within a growing independent business

Why Join?

This opportunity offers more than simply managing a recruitment desk. You'll be joining a business where your ideas are listened to, your achievements are recognised and your contribution directly influences business success.

For an ambitious Engineering or Manufacturing recruiter seeking greater autonomy, stronger earning potential and the opportunity to work closely with business leadership, this role offers an exciting platform for long-term career growth.
