Senior Talent Acquisition Partner | Technical & Engineering Sector

Location: Berlin (Remote or flexible options available for the right person)

Sector: Civil Engineering, Infrastructure, Technical Project Delivery

We're looking for a driven Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to join a growing business in the technical and civil engineering space. This is not your average internal recruiting role, it sits at the intersection of deep technical hiring, high-growth business transformation, and strategic talent planning.

You'll be stepping into a complex, fast-moving, and highly technical environment, where success will be defined by mindset, not just experience.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a business on the cusp of a major transformation. Backed by recent investment, the organisation is entering a period of rapid expansion, building out scalable systems, teams, and talent practices across Germany.

As part of a small but ambitious People team, you'll:

• Own and drive the end-to-end recruitment process for highly specialised engineering and technical positions.
• Work independently and be accountable for your decisions, pipelines, and delivery outcomes.
• Act as a true talent partner to technical stakeholders, including senior engineers and business leads.
• Deliver a structured, proactive approach to hiring across multiple engineering firms within the group.
• Execute on talent sourcing strategies, conduct interviews, build talent pipelines, and improve recruitment operations.
• Push back and influence technical and academic stakeholders, delivering reasoned arguments and guiding strong hiring decisions.

We care more about how you think, how you show up, and how you execute, than what your job title has been. You'll thrive here if you:

• Are proactive, decisive, and follow through; you own outcomes, not just tasks.
• Are comfortable with ambiguity, autonomy, and fast-paced change.
• Have a solution-oriented mindset and the confidence to push back when needed.
• Communicate clearly and effectively, even (and especially) when it's challenging.
• Are able to challenge, while remaining collaborative and constructive.
• Want to be part of building structure in a scaling business.

To be successful -

• Business level fluency in German is essential.
• In-house technical or engineering recruitment, or similar sector.
• A data-driven and analytical mindset.
• Natural ability to work independently, but also collaborate as part of a high-performing team.

In a unique twist, we are also open to civil engineers who are ready to switch sides. With the right mindset and aptitude to learn how to become a strategic full-cycle recruiter, we are ready to offer the full training and support to evolve your knowledge to build business in your sector.
