Consultant

At iPS Powerful People, we connect talent with impactful projects worldwide. For our Maritime team, we are looking for a driven Recruitment Consultant who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, and connecting professionals with leading international projects.

What does your day look like?

Your day starts with a team catch-up, where you discuss ongoing projects, client needs, active vacancies, and commercial opportunities within the maritime sector. From there, your focus is on managing and growing your client portfolio. You speak with clients to understand their workforce challenges, identify upcoming hiring needs, and advise them on the availability of talent in the market. Working closely with the recruiters in your team, you translate client requirements into successful placements.

Throughout the day, you'll connect with clients and candidates, ensuring the right professionals are introduced to the right opportunities. You'll present candidates, negotiate terms, follow up on proposals, and guide the process from introduction to placement. Building long-term partnerships and delivering excellent service are at the heart of everything you do.

Our clients deliver large-scale maritime and dredging projects around the world, and we provide the expertise and professionals they need on board vessels, at project sites, and in office environments. These projects contribute to climate adaptation and coastal protection, help keep regions around the world safe and habitable, and support global trade through the creation, expansion, and maintenance of ports, waterways, and maritime infrastructure.

In addition, you'll actively identify new business opportunities, expand your network, and strengthen relationships with existing clients. You stay informed about developments within the maritime and dredging markets and work together with colleagues across our international offices to drive growth and deliver results.

Whether you're meeting clients, negotiating a placement, or exploring new opportunities, you'll play a key role in connecting people, projects, and business success.

· Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken

· Affinity with the Maritime, Dredging or Offshore sectors

· Experience working with CRM systems, ATS platforms, and recruitment tools

· A proactive, relationship-driven, and results-oriented mindset
