Recruitment Business Partner

Adler & Allan is a leading environmental and infrastructure services provider, working at the forefront of utilities, environmental protection, and design consultancy .

As we continue to grow, we are looking for an outstanding Recruitment Business Partner to help us attract and secure the very best talent across our specialist disciplines.

Job Description

This is not a traditional recruitment role. We are looking for a strategic, commercially minded recruiter who truly understands the sectors we operate in — design consultancy, utilities, and the wider environmental landscape .

You’ll partner closely with senior leaders, acting as a trusted advisor and owning the end‑to‑end recruitment lifecycle for complex and hard‑to‑hire roles. You’ll help shape hiring strategies, advise on market conditions, and elevate the overall recruitment experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with stakeholders across the business to understand workforce needs and deliver tailored recruitment solutions
• Lead end‑to‑end recruitment for roles across design, utilities, engineering, environmental and specialist consultancy functions
• Proactively source high‑quality talent using a range of direct sourcing techniques and market mapping
• Act as a subject‑matter expert, providing insight into talent trends, competitor activity and candidate availability
• Manage relationships with external agencies where needed, ensuring value, quality and compliance
• Champion best‑practice recruitment processes, inclusive hiring and an exceptional candidate experience
• Use data and insight to continuously improve hiring outcomes and time‑to‑hire

Qualifications

We’re looking for an amazing recruiter — someone who genuinely understands our world.

You will ideally have:

• Proven experience as a Recruitment Business Partner or Senior Recruiter , either in‑house or agency
• Strong exposure to design consultancy, utilities, infrastructure, engineering or environmental sectors
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and influencing hiring decisions
• Excellent sourcing skills and a passion for finding hard‑to‑reach talent
• A consultative, solutions‑focused mindset with strong commercial awareness
• A genuine interest in sustainability, environmental protection and purpose‑driven work
