Senior Recruitment Consultant - Mining & Manufacturing
Are you an experienced blue-collar recruiter who wants your results properly recognised and rewarded, without layers of hierarchy, unrealistic growth targets, or multi-agency roles?
This is an opportunity to step into an established blue-collar desk (current consultant is relocating) within a commercially stable recruitment business, supporting mining owners and major projects across WA.
About TSS
TSS Staffing Group is a privately owned recruitment and labour-hire consultancy founded in Perth in 2018. We support mining and energy owners, EPCMs, and manufacturers across WA, Australia, and internationally, supplying both professional and blue-collar personnel.
We’re not a start-up. We have:
- An established client base
- Consistent job flow
- Strong cash flow and commercial support
- Strong mobilisation support - we want our recruiters to maximise their time filling jobs.
We’ve deliberately remained at a scale that allows us to deliver properly. We focus on depth over volume, long-term relationships, and quality outcomes rather than growth for its own sake.
As our blue-collar business continues to gain momentum, and with a senior recruiter relocating overseas mid-year, this role offers the chance to take ownership of a proven platform and help shape the next stage of the division.
About the role
This is a senior, delivery-focused role offering both security and genuine opportunity.
You’ll take ownership of an established portfolio of mining clients, recruiting across metropolitan and FIFO roles including trades and mobile and fixed plant operators. The desk is warm and well supported, with immediate work available, but it suits someone who wants to actively lift capability rather than simply maintain what’s already there.
Success in the role comes from:
- Strong client relationships
- High-quality delivery
- Proactive desk management
There is scope to contribute to business development where it makes sense, but there are no formal BD targets. You’ll also play a role in mentoring and supporting other recruiters as the team grows, helping shape how the blue-collar function operates.
The recruiter currently managing this desk has more than doubled their earnings over the past 12 months through consistent delivery and relationship development. With them moving on, you’ll be able to step straight into a warm, well-supported desk, taking over established roles and client relationships and continuing to build on the strong foundations already in place
Key responsibilities
- Ownership of established mining owner client relationships
- End-to-end recruitment of FIFO and metro trades and operators
- Building and maintaining a high-quality contractor workforce
- Developing a strong understanding of roles, sites, and operating environments
- Improving sourcing methods and database capability
- Mentoring and supporting recruiters within the blue-collar team
About you
- Proven experience recruiting blue-collar roles (mining / resources preferred)
- Strong delivery mindset with pride in quality outcomes
- Comfortable managing key accounts and long-term client relationships
- Interested in shaping and growing a function, not just running a desk
- Takes the time to understand roles properly rather than relying on keywords
- Commercially aware, organised, and self-driven
Remuneration
- Base salary $80,000 – $100,000 + super
- Percentage of margin commission with no threshold
- Flexible structure by agreement

- Direct access to decision-makers — no layers of red tape
