As a Senior NetSuite Recruitment Consultant at IT Works, I have been responsible for managing both permanent and contract recruitment for the NetSuite sector across the UK. I specialise in sourcing and placing top-tier candidates in NetSuite-focused roles while building strong, lasting relationships with both clients and candidates. From the outset of my career at IT Works, I quickly adapted and demonstrated my ability to learn and excel in recruitment, progressing from a trainee to senior consultant in just 15 months.

In my role, I focus heavily on business development, particularly expanding our client base by targeting new NetSuite businesses and ensuring high levels of client satisfaction through exceptional after-care and ongoing client support. I also prioritise fostering strong client relationships post-placement, ensuring that both clients and candidates are happy with the outcomes and continue to work with us long-term.

Additionally, I have played an instrumental role in developing and training other team members within IT Works, sharing my expertise and best practices with colleagues across our UK NetSuite team. I actively participate in internal interviews and key hiring decisions, ensuring that the right talent is brought into the company.

This combination of business development, client relationship management, and team leadership has made me a key contributor the companies success.

Based at the Clitheroe quarry with responsibility for plants across the North West of England, I gained hands-on experience with concrete, asphalt, and aggregate products. My role involved liaising with clients, testing materials on-site and in the lab, and managing high-pressure situations, acting as the main point of communication. I balanced work with a 4-year degree at Derby University, applying theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges, such as resolving site issues and recommending mix design changes.

I played a key role in the development and operation of a new concrete plant at Sellafield Nuclear Waste Authority, ensuring consistent quality for critical nuclear waste containment. My experience in high-risk environments, including quarry blasting and heavy machinery, has honed my ability to manage safety and operations under pressure. I am a member of the Institute of Quarrying, hold a CSCS card, and have an MPQC Level 4 diploma in Health, Safety, and Environmental Management.
