About Granite Recruitment
Granite Recruitment is a specialist provider to the UK’s Energy sector, delivering talent solutions across Oil & Gas, Engineering, Renewables, and wider Energy markets. With Aberdeen continuing to evolve as a centre of excellence for technical, engineering, and project‑driven expertise, we are expanding our white‑collar capability to support growing client demand.
Our White‑Collar division partners with operators, EPCs, engineering consultancies, and project management organisations, providing expertise across technical, professional, and mid‑senior appointments. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced recruiter to help shape a high‑growth desk backed by a strong brand and long‑standing industry relationships.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced White‑Collar Recruitment Consultant to join our Aberdeen office and take ownership of a defined technical/professional market within the Energy sector. You’ll work across roles with consistent demand — including engineering, project controls, HSE, supply chain, planning, commercial, and office‑based operational functions.
You’ll enjoy the support of an established Energy recruitment brand while having autonomy to develop your own client base, deepen relationships, and help shape the direction of a growing white‑collar offering.
This role suits someone who understands the stakeholder‑driven nature of white‑collar recruitment and enjoys operating consultatively with both candidates and clients.
