Head of Infrastructure - Recruitment (Energy & Construction)

Head of Infrastructure - Recruitment Consultancy / Staffing Agency (Energy & Construction), Americas

Austin, TX · In-office · Reports to: Kevin Holt, CEO / MD Americas

We're hiring a Head of Infrastructure (Energy & Construction) to run Oscar Energy and Oscar Construction from our Austin office. Both brands are established in the US. Over the next 24 months we'll merge them into one practice - Oscar Infrastructure - and you'll lead that.

You inherit a team of 3-6 billing consultants with a healthy mix of direct hire and contractor book revenue. Each stream is billing $50k+/month in gross profit. This desk has produced $1M+ personal GP for years. That ceiling is there for the taking.

This is leadership work, not a cold start.

Why now

Oscar Energy and Oscar Construction already overlap. We work the same accounts across heavy civil, renewables, power, EPC, and O&M. Bringing them into one practice is the obvious next step. We need a senior operator to lead the merger and continue to grow the team and book at the same time.

What you inherit

• Warm hiring-manager relationships at Tier-1 EPCs, IPPs, O&M operators, data center builders, utilities, and infrastructure developers
• 3-6 billing consultants in seat - your job is to develop them and add the next 3-5 alongside them
• A combined revenue base scaling toward $10M+ over the next 24 months
• Past personal GP on this desk has cleared $1M+ - there's room to do it again

Warm desk. Not cold.

Your first 12 months

• Lead the Oscar Energy + Oscar Construction merger into one Infrastructure practice - positioning, GTM, client communications, internal alignment
• Hire and develop the next 3-5 consultants
• Be in front of the market - own key accounts, run client visits, represent Oscar at industry conferences and exhibitions

What you bring

• Senior-level personal billing in Energy and / or Construction recruitment
• A track record of building and developing billing teams, not only hitting your own number
• Experience working large enterprise clients with VMS compliance - the kind of procurement complexity common in O&G
• Comfort selling across the full range of commercial models: retained, engaged, contract, embedded, RPO, fractional
• You want to be in Austin and you want to be in the office, every day, with your team

What we offer

• Base salary $100,000-$120,000
• Uncapped commission on your own billings, plus a team override on consultant billings. Year 1 OTE realistically $200,000-$240,000+, with Year 2 stronger as the team scales
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums
• 20 days PTO, rising to 25 with tenure
• 8-9 paid public holidays
• 12pm Friday finishes, year-round
• Paid winter holiday break - not deducted from your PTO
• Full visa sponsorship for international candidates. Oscar is a registered E-2 treaty employer and supports E-3 applications. Our internal visa program has a great approval record
• Oscar-funded relocation - flights, temporary housing, onboarding logistics
• Company card and travel budget for client visits, conferences, and exhibitions
