Senior Principal Recruitment Consultant

📍 London | Decarbonisation & Energy

💰 Competitive commission structure scaling to 40%

 

Principal Billing Opportunity

At Spencer Ogden, we’re looking for an experienced, high-performing recruitment professional to step into a Senior Principal-level role within our Decarbonisation & Energy division.

This is a true billing-first position, offering immediate access to an active, high-value desk with strong foundations and clear headroom for growth.

 

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of a 360 contract desk with a well-established client base, while driving strategic expansion across the Benelux and Nordic markets. With competition easing in key areas of the energy transition space, this is a timely opportunity to capitalise on existing demand and scale revenue quickly.

 

What You’ll Be Working With

• Live, high-value mandates across energy and decarbonisation, including major hydrogen projects

• Established PSL agreements with key market players

• Warm client relationships ready for re-engagement and growth

• Delivery support from junior consultants, with scope to mentor and shape the team

 

Your Role

• Own and scale a high-performing contract desk within a specialist vertical

• Re-engage and expand existing client relationships while developing new business across target regions

• Lead from the front on billing, setting the standard for performance and output

• Mentor and develop junior consultants, contributing to overall desk growth

 

Who This Suits

• Proven billers operating at Senior/Principal level within recruitment

• Strong track record in contract recruitment and business development

• Experience within energy, engineering, or a related technical market

• Individuals motivated by high performance, autonomy, and long-term earning potential

 

What’s on Offer

• High-earning, uncapped commission structure aligned to senior billing performance

• Immediate access to a live, revenue-generating desk

• Clear pathway into leadership (if desired), with no pressure to move away from billing

• Backing of a global platform with established infrastructure and market reputation

This is a rare opportunity to step into a desk with real traction, strong market positioning, and the autonomy to scale it further.
