About Stemgenic
Stemgenic is a Singapore-headquartered boutique executive search and career advisory firm specialising in leadership and business-critical functional roles across industrial and scientific sectors in APAC. As we continue to expand, we are looking for an experienced search consultant to drive our Mission Critical & Industrial Infrastructure practice across APAC. This is an opportunity for a high-performing recruitment professional who wants to focus on what they do best (clients, candidates and placements), backed by a platform that removes the distractions.
The Opportunity
You will run the Mission Critical & Industrial Infrastructure desk with full autonomy, covering data centres, pharmaceutical and life sciences facilities, food and chemical plants, and other mission-critical and high-tech buildings across design, construction, commissioning and operations. This is a hands-on, billing-focused role for someone who thrives on client relationships and search delivery, without the responsibility of managing a team.
What You Will Do
Run the Mission Critical & Industrial Infrastructure desk across APAC, managing your own client portfolio and pipeline
Build and deepen trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and HR partners at developers, owner-operators, EPC and design firms, MEP contractors and critical equipment suppliers
Win and deliver retained and exclusive executive search mandates, from brief to offer
Headhunt and engage senior, often passive, candidates with discretion and credibility
Drive consistent revenue and placements from your desk
Collaborate with other Stemgenic desks on shared clients and cross-sector opportunities
What We Are Looking For
8+ years in executive search or senior-level recruitment, including at least 3 years within Mission Critical, Data Centres, Construction, Engineering & Infrastructure or Industrial sectors, with a strong and consistent billing track record
An established network of client relationships and commercial contacts across the sector, with the ability to develop business from day one
Strong understanding of the project lifecycle (design, build, commission and operate) and its specialist talent markets in the APAC region
Demonstrated success in winning and delivering senior-level recruitment or executive search assignments
Strong relationship-building skills and the credibility to engage senior executives and decision-makers
A self-driven, commercial approach and comfort working with full autonomy
What We Offer
Attractive base salary to keep your momentum going, and uncapped commission on every placement
Opportunities to collaborate across Stemgenic’s established industrial and EPC client network
A dedicated resourcer supporting your searches
An AI-powered tech stack that runs end-to-end across your desk
Island-wide coworking access and flexible working
Full autonomy over your desk, clients and approach
Clear visibility of your desk’s performance, and a clear path to progression
