Recruitment Associate / Senior Associate - London - Infrastructure & Energy Investment
£35,000–£45,000 base salary
Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days home)
4 weeks per year working from anywhere
Commission up to 40% plus a discretionary annual top-up bonus based on performance and contribution.


The Opportunity
This is a move for recruiters who want to operate at a higher level.
Edmund & Evans are representing a specialist search firm focused on infrastructure, energy and global investment markets. The team partners with leading investment funds, pension funds, banks and developers on complex mandates that require credibility, precision and real market understanding.
If you already have recruitment experience and want better clients, higher-value roles and stronger long-term earning potential, this genuinely stands out in the London market.


The Business
The firm forms part of an established international executive search group with over 20 years of market presence, while operating as a focused, high-performing specialist team.


What sets them apart:
Step straight into active searches from day one, operating on roles with base salaries reaching £200,000
No business development requirement at Associate or Senior Associate level
A mix of retained, exclusive and contingent mandates
Institutional-level global clients
High standards, professional culture
Offices in London, New York, and two additional international locations
Genuine opportunities to work abroad or relocate as you progress
The London team is intentionally small and quality-driven. Growth is planned carefully and standards are non-negotiable.


The Role
Joining as Associate or Senior Associate (depending on experience), you will focus on delivering high-value mandates alongside senior consultants.


You will:
Run recruitment processes end-to-end
Engage senior candidates across infrastructure, energy and investment markets
Manage detailed and often complex interview processes
Maintain a high-quality candidate and client experience
Develop real advisory capability and market expertise
For those who want it, there is a clear route into client ownership, origination and leadership as the business scales.
Progression and Earnings


Base salaries:
Associate from £35,000
Senior Associate from £45,000
VP from £65,000–£70,000

A Senior Associate earned over £100,000 total in 2025, under one year working for the company, demonstrating the earning potential within the team. The US office earned even more.


Who This Is For
Minimum six months of agency recruitment experience. This is not a graduate role.
This role would suit someone who:
Wants exposure to senior clients and higher-value mandates
Is capable of running full recruitment processes
Is commercially aware and detail-oriented
Prefers quality over high-volume churn
Is ambitious and serious about long-term progression
Degree education preferred. Professionalism and credibility are essential.
