Build a permanent Power desk in one of the most in-demand energy markets in the U.S.

Spencer Ogden’s Orlando Power & Energy Practice is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our permanent recruitment team.

This is a true 360 recruitment role with a strong focus on business development. You’ll be joining a market with huge long-term potential, but this is not a role where you are simply inheriting a desk full of live jobs. We’re looking for someone who is excited by the challenge of building client relationships, creating new business, and growing a profitable desk from the ground up.

You’ll focus on the Power sector, supporting clients who are designing, developing, modernizing, and maintaining the infrastructure behind America’s energy future.

• Power Generation
• Grid Modernization
• Substation Engineering
• Protection & Controls
• Electrical Engineering

• Transmission Planning
• Renewable Power Infrastructure

You’ll work with utilities, engineering consultancies, developers, EPCs, and energy businesses hiring the technical specialists needed to support demand across the power market.

• Build new client relationships across the Power & Energy market

• Manage the full recruitment process from business development through to placement
• Build deep market expertise across grid, utilities, transmission, distribution, and renewable power infrastructure
• Own your desk, revenue, and client relationships

We’re looking for someone with:

• 1.5+ years of recruitment experience
• Proven business development experience within recruitment
• Experience in engineering, energy, power, utilities, infrastructure, construction, or another technical market ideal
• Strong confidence with outreach, pitching, cold calling, and client development
• Ability to generate new business and build relationships with senior stakeholders
• Strong candidate delivery skills once mandates are won
• Commercial awareness, resilience, and strong communication skills
• A competitive, financially motivated approach

You do not need to have recruited in Power specifically, but you should be confident in a sales‑led recruitment environment and motivated by building a desk, winning clients, and creating your own revenue.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a high‑potential market with the support of a global specialist recruitment business behind you.

• A true 360 role with clear ownership of your market
• The opportunity to build a permanent Power desk in Orlando
• High‑demand technical markets across utilities, engineering, infrastructure, and renewables
• Strong long‑term growth potential across the U.S. Power sector
• High‑value permanent mandates once client relationships are established
• Uncapped commission with no draw and no cap
• Commission up to 40% of deals billed
• Medical, dental, and vision fully covered
• Structured training and clear progression
