We’re looking for an ambitious Associate Consultant to join our Sales Academy and help build our Energy Contract Staffing team in Houston.

Through structured training and direct mentorship from experienced leaders, you’ll learn how to connect specialist professionals with businesses delivering energy projects.

• Identify new business opportunities and develop relationships with hiring managers
• Maintain accurate CRM records and build an active pipeline of candidates and client opportunities

What We’re Looking For

• An ambitious, commercially curious person interested in sales, recruitment and the energy industry
• Experience in sales, business development, account management, recruitment or another customer-facing environment is valuable, but previous recruitment experience is not essential
• Strong communication skills and confidence approaching new people
• The ability to absorb unfamiliar information and ask thoughtful questions
• A proactive, organised and resilient approach
• Coachability and the ability to put feedback into practice
• Motivation to achieve measurable goals and build a long-term career in specialist recruitment
