Associate Consultant - Energy / Utilities

Associate Consultant – Energy / Utilities Sector
Dallas, TX | On-site | Full-time

Are you an ambitious, sales-minded professional looking to break into a high-growth, high-reward career? Our client is an international consulting and professional services company located in the heart of Dallas. They have a handful more slots available for their 2025 entry level training program, where you'll join as an Associate Consultant focused on the booming energy and utilities sector.

Start Strong, Grow Fast

This is an entry-point into consultancy where you’ll begin by supporting some of the client's most established client accounts. Your focus will be on candidate sourcing, talent engagement, and lead generation—learning the foundations of strategic recruitment in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

As you develop your skills and demonstrate strong performance, you’ll have the opportunity to progress down one of two career paths:

• Account Management / Business Development – Partner directly with clients, drive new business, and expand existing relationships.
• Candidate Delivery Specialist – Build deep market expertise and become a trusted advisor and specialist in talent acquisition.

This split-desk model gives you the space to learn, grow, and discover your strengths before choosing a specialty.

Why This Role is Different

This is more than just a job and definitely more than your typical recruitment role—it’s a rare opportunity to shape the culture of a fast-growing office from the ground up. Your voice is heard, your ideas matter, and your impact is visible. You'll be part of a tight-knit, high-performing team that works hard and celebrates big.

• Uncapped commission (top performers in Dallas are earning $400K+)
• Regular office socials, lunch clubs, and incentive trips
• Transparent progression path with performance-based promotions
• Collaborative, inclusive environment where ambition is celebrated and supported

What You’ll Do:

• Source and engage top-tier candidates for key roles in the energy and utilities sectors
• Support active client accounts by identifying talent aligned with both short- and long-term hiring needs
• Generate and qualify leads to help grow our market footprint
• Collaborate with senior consultants and team leads to deliver results for clients and candidates
• Leverage our on-site training team and development programs to accelerate your learning curve

Who You Are:

• 0–3 years of experience in sales, recruitment, or staffing (entry-level grads welcome)
• A natural communicator who enjoys building relationships and hitting goals
• Self-motivated, highly coachable, and ready to hustle
• Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, performance-driven setting
• Based in or open to relocating to Dallas, TX—this is an in-person role

Why Join?

• Uncapped commission and high-earning potential from day one
• Access to niche, high-value markets with significant upside
• With social perks and achiever incentives, become a part of a values-driven culture
