About the role

Principal Consultant

Carbon60 | based Whiteley, Fareham

At our core, we're a specialist recruitment business built around one simple principle: expert-to-expert recruitment in mission critical sectors and skills-short markets.

We're looking for a Principal Consultant who wants more than just another desk. Someone who wants to become a recognised market expert, build meaningful client partnerships and play a key role in the growth of a business that's investing heavily in the future.

Our focus is on the sectors that keep businesses, infrastructure and communities operating markets where talent is scarce, expertise matters and relationships are everything. From Aerospace & Defence, Advanced Engineering and Critical infrastructure and specialist disciplines, we're building teams that are genuine market leaders.

This is an opportunity to join a business that has secured major client partnerships, has clear growth plans and is creating the next generation of recruitment leaders. We don't believe in generalist recruitment. We believe in specialists recruiting specialists, becoming trusted advisors to both clients and candidates, and building long-term careers rather than chasing short-term wins.

We're looking for someone who:

Has a proven track record within recruitment

Wants to develop genuine market expertise

Enjoys building and nurturing long-term relationships

Sees leadership as part of their future

Wants the autonomy to build a market rather than simply manage one

In return, you'll be given the platform, support, investment and opportunity to make a real impact. Whether your ambition is to become a top-performing market specialist, build and lead a team, or progress into senior leadership, we'll help create the pathway to get you there.

If you're ambitious, commercially driven and want to be part of a business building specialist recruitment teams across mission critical sectors, we'd love to speak with you.
