About Rubix M&E

Rubix M&E is a specialist mechanical and electrical recruitment agency. We supply engineers and installers nationwide across gas, heating, plumbing, electrical, renewables and smart metering.

Our customers span social and private housing, energy suppliers, commercial FM and construction. We are a close team of 20+, built from the ground up over 11 years.

The Role

This is not a back-room delivery seat. You will fill live roles, and you will speak to the clients behind them.

You start on a warm desk. We have over 500 live vacancies, perm and contract, worth over £2m in GP, ready to work from day one. Your job is to fill them, and to build the client relationships that keep them coming.

What you will do

• Source, qualify and place engineers and installers across our live vacancies
• Take briefs directly from hiring managers, not second-hand
• Speak to clients every week with updates, feedback and shortlists
• Build a contract book and make permanent placements
• Spot new roles, new sites and new contacts within the accounts you work on
• Own the process end to end, from the first call to the first day on site

Where This Goes

We will develop you in two directions. How far you go with each is down to you.

Account management. As you prove yourself with clients, you will take on accounts of your own. You become the person they call first, and you grow what they spend with us.

People management. If you want to lead, we will build you into it. Coaching, mentoring a new starter, then a team of your own. Our routes run through Senior Delivery Consultant, Delivery Manager and Head of level.

We would rather promote from within. Several of our current leaders started on the desk.

We Want Someone Who Wants to Earn

Let's be clear. Money matters here. We have paid people over £10,000 in commission in a single month, on top of their salary. It is uncapped, and what you earn comes down to what you put in.

But earning on its own is not enough. We want people who also want to build something: client relationships of their own, and in time, a team.

What You Will Bring

• Recruitment or sales experience, ideally agency - or a strong record in a target-driven role
• Confidence on the phone with candidates and clients alike
• Hunger to earn and the work ethic to match it
• Ambition to manage accounts and, in time, lead people
• Integrity - you do what you say, and you do it properly
• M&E, construction, engineering or technical knowledge is a bonus, not a must

What You Get

• £30,000 - £40,000 basic depending on experience
• Uncapped commission with realistic first-year earnings of £50,000 - £80,000+
• A warm desk from day one: 500+ live vacancies
• Regular client contact, building towards accounts of your own
• Structured development into account management and team leadership
• Incentive competitions - previous winners have gone to New York, Paris and Amsterdam
• Regular team socials, from nights out in London to local pub quizzes
• A genuine work family - a lot of our team have found friends for life here

Hours and Working Pattern

Monday to Friday, 08:30 - 17:30, with one late night until 7pm. This is a fully office-based role with no working from home.

We will be upfront: our team regularly comes in early and stays late to hit and beat targets. If you want a 9-to-5 that clocks off on the dot, this is not it.
