Senior Principal Recruitment Consultant

Competitive commission structure scaling to 40%

At Spencer Ogden, we’re looking for an experienced, high-performing recruitment professional to step into a Senior Principal-level role within our Decarbonisation & Energy division.

This is a true billing-first position, offering immediate access to an active, high-value desk with strong foundations and clear headroom for growth.

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of a 360 contract desk with a well-established client base, while driving strategic expansion across the Benelux and Nordic markets. With competition easing in key areas of the energy transition space, this is a timely opportunity to capitalise on existing demand and scale revenue quickly.

What You’ll Be Working With

• Live, high-value mandates across energy and decarbonisation, including major hydrogen projects
• Established PSL agreements with key market players
• Warm client relationships ready for re-engagement and growth
• Delivery support from junior consultants, with scope to mentor and shape the team

Your Role

• Own and scale a high-performing contract desk within a specialist vertical
• Re-engage and expand existing client relationships while developing new business across target regions
• Lead from the front on billing, setting the standard for performance and output

  Who This Suits

  • Proven billers operating at Senior/Principal level within recruitment
  • Strong track record in contract recruitment and business development
  • Experience within energy, engineering, or a related technical market
  • Individuals motivated by high performance, autonomy, and long-term earning potential

  What’s on Offer

  • High-earning, uncapped commission structure aligned to senior billing performance
  • Immediate access to a live, revenue-generating desk
  • Clear pathway into leadership (if desired), with no pressure to move away from billing
  • Backing of a global platform with established infrastructure and market reputation

  This is a rare opportunity to step into a desk with real traction, strong market positioning, and the autonomy to scale it further.
