Aspion Search is looking for an experienced recruiter ready to step into a Principal Consultant role within our thriving Transport & Logistics division.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious recruitment professional who wants more than just another desk. You'll inherit a warm portfolio of clients, active vacancies, and established relationships, giving you the platform to make an immediate impact while building your own market presence.

We're looking for someone who can operate as a trusted advisor, develop long‑term partnerships, and drive growth across both existing and new business opportunities.

If you're feeling restricted in your current environment and looking for greater autonomy, progression, and earning potential, we'd love to speak with you.

Why Transport & Logistics?

Transport & Logistics remains one of the UK's most resilient and fast‑moving sectors. Every product, service, and supply chain relies on talented professionals to keep businesses moving, creating consistent demand for recruitment expertise.

You’ll join a successful and established team led by a Divisional Manager with over a decade of success within the sector. With active clients, live vacancies, and strong market credibility already in place, you’ll have the support and infrastructure needed to hit the ground running.

This role offers the perfect balance of account development and business generation, allowing you to build your own reputation while benefiting from an established platform.

The Opportunity

This is a role for someone who enjoys building influence within their market and wants to establish themselves as a recognised specialist.

What We're Looking For

• Proven success within a recruitment environment
• Strong business development and account management capabilities
• Commercial awareness and a consultative approach
• Excellent relationship‑building and stakeholder management skills
• A driven and ambitious mindset with a desire to progress
• Transport & Logistics recruitment experience is advantageous but not essential

What’s In It For You?
