Researcher Vacancies
Associate / Senior Associate
Executive Search & Leadership Advisory | UK Hybrid
Cellence Plus is a specialist leadership advisory and executive search firm focused on the construction, infrastructure, engineering and industrial sectors.
Unlike many executive search firms, Cellence Plus benefits from the stability, insight and long-term perspective that comes from being wholly owned by a major organisation operating within our core market. This unique model allows us to develop deep sector knowledge, build lasting talent relationships and focus on delivering exceptional outcomes without the short-term pressures often associated with transactional recruitment environments.
As we continue to grow, we are looking to appoint both an Associate and Senior Associate to join our team.
Working alongside Practice Leaders, Consultants and our Data & Operations function, you will play a key role in delivering executive search and leadership advisory assignments across the construction, infrastructure, engineering and industrial sectors.
Depending on your experience, responsibilities may include:
- Executive research and market mapping.
- Candidate identification and engagement.
- Leadership assessment and interviewing.
- Referencing and due diligence.
- Talent intelligence and competitor analysis.
- Assignment management and project coordination.
- Client reporting and stakeholder engagement.
- Building and maintaining senior executive networks.
For Senior Associate-level candidates, there will also be opportunities to lead assignments, shape search strategy, mentor colleagues and play a broader role in developing delivery excellence across the business.
About You
We are seeking individuals with previous executive search experience gained within a retained search, executive recruitment, leadership advisory or talent intelligence environment.
Experience identifying, engaging and assessing senior talent is essential, as is a strong understanding of executive search methodologies, market mapping and candidate research techniques.
We are particularly interested in hearing from professionals who have operated within construction, infrastructure, transportation, rail, utilities, energy, manufacturing, engineering, industrial or other asset-intensive sectors.
You’ll be:
- Naturally curious and analytical.
- A strong communicator with excellent relationship-building skills.
- Organised and able to manage multiple priorities.
- Commercially aware and delivery focused.
- Passionate about leadership, talent and organisational performance.
- Comfortable engaging with senior executives and business leaders.
Most importantly, you’ll share our commitment to quality, professionalism, collaboration and continuous improvement.
Why Join Cellence Plus?
