Cubiq Recruitment partners with some of the world’s most exciting and innovative engineering companies, helping them secure the specialist engineering talent they need to grow. We work across R&D Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing – building relationships, solving real hiring challenges, and delivering recruitment with genuine quality and expertise.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an ambitious Engineering Delivery Consultant to join our team, supporting clients throughout the UK and Europe and playing a key role in delivering exceptional engineering talent across our client portfolio – with genuine scope to grow your career as you grow with us.

The role, your team, and Cubiq

As an Engineering Delivery Consultant, you’ll focus on the candidate side of the recruitment process using advanced sourcing methods finding, engaging and managing exceptional engineering talent across R&D Engineering and Manufacturing. You’ll work closely with a variety of engineering clients, supporting active hiring projects while building long-term candidate and client relationships across niche, highly technical markets.

You’ll ideally have experience supporting Research and Development with engineering hiring – someone who’s comfortable in conversations about R&D, product development and manufacturing environments, and who enjoys working with people in a fast-moving environment, and cares about doing recruitment properly.

What you’ll do

• Manage live vacancies and support ongoing project delivery across R&D Engineering and Manufacturing roles
• Source, screen and qualify engineering candidates using multiple channels
• Build strong relationships with specialist engineering talent pools and share insights with the wider business
• Coordinate interviews, feedback and offer management
• Provide an excellent candidate experience from first contact through to placement
• Work closely with clients, confidently leading client calls for briefings, CV reviews and more
• Work collaboratively with the wider recruitment team to ensure successful outcomes and support account development and maximisation
• Act as an engineering sourcing expert and champion to the wider business
• Identify areas for client expansion, client development and account maximisation

What we’re looking for

• Experience in recruitment (agency or in-house), ideally supporting engineering clients with R&D Engineering and Manufacturing positions
• Flexibility to work across multiple engineering industries and role types
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, including an excellent phone manner
• A proactive, organised approach with good attention to detail
• The ability to prioritise and manage multiple roles at once
• A collaborative mindset and positive energy
• Familiarity with LinkedIn, Boolean search strings, and candidate qualification and sourcing techniques for engineering and technical talent

What a top performer looks like

The best Engineering Delivery Consultants own the candidate journey end to end. They build deep pools of specialist engineering talent, understand the R&D Engineering and Manufacturing markets inside out, and are the person deep tech clients and colleagues turn to when a tough role needs filling fast. They balance pace with care – moving quickly without cutting corners on candidate experience – and build a reputation as the go-to engineering sourcing expert in their patch – and it’s exactly this track record that opens the door to progressing into an Account Manager or Delivery Manager role.

Perks and benefits

• Competitive salary plus commission, with no threshold
• Clear, transparent routes to progression with individual development plans, including real scope to grow into an Account Manager or Delivery Manager position as you build your track record
• Real investment in your growth, including training and development support
• A quarterly achievers club, two annual holiday incentives, late starts and early finishes
• A city-centre office with on-site gym, breakout spaces, pool table, bike storage and more
• Flexible, hybrid working arrangements
