Senior / Principal Recruitment Consultant — Renewable Energy Sydney, New South Wales | 360 Billing Role

---

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced recruitment consultant ready to take your career to the next level in one of the world's fastest-growing and most purpose-driven sectors? We are looking for a driven Senior or Principal Consultant to join our Energy division in Sydney, specialising in the placement of specialist Renewable Energy talent across leading developers, investors, and engineering and construction businesses.

This is a genuine 360 billing role — you'll own the full recruitment cycle, from business development and client relationship management through to candidate sourcing, assessment, and offer management. You'll be operating in a high-demand, rapidly expanding market at the forefront of the global energy transition.

About the Business

We are a globally recognised recruitment firm with a single, clear focus: Property, Construction and Energy. Over more than a decade, we have built an outstanding reputation as a leading authority in our chosen sectors, placing professionals across the full spectrum of the project lifecycle — from investment and development through to engineering, construction and operations. With offices spanning Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East, the UK, and North America, our global reach and deeply specialised knowledge set us apart from generalist recruiters.

Sydney is our flagship office and the heartbeat of our Australian operation — giving you access to the deepest client relationships, the strongest candidate networks, and the full weight of a globally connected team behind you from day one.

As the world continues its shift towards more sustainable energy and infrastructure, we are perfectly positioned to support the businesses driving that transformation. Having made placements across many of Australia's leading companies and highest-profile renewable energy projects, our Energy division has built genuine credibility in a market that demands true sector expertise.

The Market You'll Work In

You'll be recruiting across the full renewable energy project lifecycle, partnering with clients that include:

• Global and domestic renewable energy developers
• Investment groups and private equity backing clean energy projects
• Engineering and construction firms delivering large-scale renewables infrastructure
• Consulting firms specialising in feasibility, development and project management
• EPC contractors across solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery storage
• Government-aligned and net-zero focused organisations

Roles you'll place will span investment, development, project management, engineering, commercial, HSE, and operations — from specialist technical positions through to senior leadership and executive appointments.

What We're Looking For

We're open to candidates at Senior Consultant or Principal Consultant level. What matters most is your track record and your drive. You'll bring:

• Proven experience as a 360 recruitment consultant, ideally within energy, engineering, construction, or a related technical or professional services discipline
• A strong business development mindset with the confidence to build and manage relationships with senior stakeholders across the renewable energy landscape
• Experience or genuine interest in the Renewable Energy sector (sector knowledge is advantageous but not essential — what you know about recruiting and building a desk matters most)
• The ability to work autonomously while contributing to a collaborative, high-performance team culture
• Ambition to grow — whether that's building a desk from strength to strength or progressing into a leadership role over time

What's On Offer

We believe in rewarding our people exceptionally well. Here's what you can expect:

• Commission up to 40% — one of the most competitive schemes in the market
• Relocation assistance — if you're based interstate or overseas and ready for a move to Sydney, we will support you to get here
• Private medical insurance — your health matters to us
• A genuinely specialist platform with a strong brand, established client relationships, and the resources of a global business
• A clear career pathway with real progression opportunities
• The autonomy to build your desk your way, backed by a team that knows the market inside out

Sydney — A Hub for Australia's Energy Transition

Australia is one of the most active renewable energy markets in the world, with billions of dollars flowing into solar, wind, hydrogen and storage projects. Sydney sits at the centre of that investment activity, making it the ideal base from which to build a high-performing renewables recruitment desk.
