Principal Recruitment Consultant
Civils, Infrastructure, Water & Transportation
Derby | £35,000+ basic (DOE) + £5,000 car allowance + uncapped commission | Agile working
A role built for experienced recruiters: autonomy, strong markets, and the backing to go further.
You’ve established yourself in recruitment by delivering results and building lasting relationships. You know your worth, and now you want a role that gives you the freedom, support and markets to achieve more.
At Ganymede, we are looking for a commercially minded Principal Recruitment Consultant to join our Derby office. Our core sectors - civils, infrastructure, water and transportation - are established, in demand and full of opportunity. You will be stepping into a business that understands these markets in depth, supported by investment in tools, technology and brand reputation that will give you a genuine advantage.
The Opportunity
You will run your own desk and develop your market in the way you know works best, backed by managers who trust you to deliver. We invest in recruitment technology, resourcing tools and marketing so you can spend your time on relationships and results. You’ll be supported by a leadership team with decades of experience, but with the freedom to grow your desk. Because our markets are well established, there is real scope to create long-term success.
About you
You are an experienced 360 recruiter with a consistent record of winning business and placing top talent. Experience in civils, infrastructure, water or transportation is ideal, although we are open to high performers from complementary markets. You are confident in business development, strong in relationship management, and motivated by the chance to take ownership of your market and shape your own success.
Why Ganymede?
We are part of the RTC Group PLC, a £94+m turnover business with more than 50 years of expertise. But we are also forward-thinking, agile and constantly innovating. Our consultants stay with us because they are trusted and backed by genuine investment and support. We believe in creating an environment where good recruiters can thrive.
