Temper Consulting

Temper Consulting is a specialist executive search and talent advisory firm dedicated to connecting Western Australia's top project leaders with career-defining roles across mining, resources, energy, and infrastructure. The company operates a rigorous, structured methodology that moves beyond conventional recruitment channels to identify and engage leaders who are not actively seeking new opportunities. Temper's approach combines deep market intelligence with behavioural science to ensure precision placement in sectors where leadership quality has the highest stakes.

Temper specialises in four core sectors: mining, where the company places project directors, COOs, and technical leads for Western Australia's tier-one mining operations and extraction programmes; energy, covering LNG, renewables, hydrogen, and energy transition projects; and infrastructure, focusing on senior leadership for transport, rail, and urban development projects shaping Western Australia's built environment. The company places professionals across roles including project directors, construction managers, general managers of operations, mine managers, engineering managers, operations managers, study managers, and commissioning managers.

Based in Perth, Western Australia, Temper Consulting distinguishes itself through its execution tempo and market-backed methodology. The company reduces time to placement from the industry average of 120 days to 21 to 45 days by diagnosing role viability before search begins, mapping the complete talent landscape, targeting candidates through bespoke scorecards, and validating selections through rigorous reference validation and career pattern analysis. When Temper recommends a candidate, the company stakes its reputation on the placement, ensuring clients receive leaders who are genuinely aligned with their strategic objectives.
