Finding the Right Engineers

From maintenance engineers and controls specialists to team leaders and engineering managers, we help you find people suited to your operation. We take time to understand your equipment, technical requirements and shift patterns before introducing candidates.

Salary and Market Advice

We help you assess how your vacancy compares with other opportunities in the market. Drawing on our recruitment experience, we advise on salary, shifts, benefits and the factors that influence an engineer’s decision to move.

Your Next Career Move

We listen to what you want from your next role, including the work itself, salary, shift pattern, commute and opportunities to develop. We’ll discuss suitable vacancies and help you weigh up whether a move is right for you.

CV and Interview Support

We help engineers present their experience clearly, highlighting relevant equipment knowledge, qualifications and technical skills. We also help you prepare for interviews so you can explain what you bring to the role and ask the questions that matter to you.

Support for Your Hiring Plans

Whether you’re replacing a key team member or recruiting for several positions, we work with you to understand your priorities and timescales. You’ll have a dedicated contact coordinating candidate introductions, interview feedback and offers.

Support Beyond the Offer

We stay in touch through offer acceptance, notice periods and start dates, keeping both sides informed. After the engineer starts, we follow up with them and the employer to check how things are going and help address any concerns.
