How it works
From the first brief to onboarding, we run a focused search that gives you fewer surprises, stronger shortlists and a hiring process candidates want to stay in.
Specialist search
Built around technical context, not keyword matching.
Direct-hire search for engineering and technical roles across all five MEICA disciplines.
Day-rate contractors and interim specialists, including IR35-compliant arrangements.
Scaled hiring to staff projects and frameworks, from individual roles to whole teams.
The process
The work is structured, but not rigid. Each search adapts to the seniority, urgency and scarcity of the role.
Role, project and team context
We take time to understand the role, the project and the team — the technical detail and the culture.
We clarify the technical must-haves, project pressures, location pattern, salary or day rate, reporting line and what good looks like after three months.
Typical outputs
Specialist MEICA sourcing
We draw on our specialist MEICA network and approach engineers directly, not just those actively looking.
We combine live market knowledge, direct approach and our discipline-specific network to reach both active applicants and passive engineers.
Typical outputs
Qualified, prepared shortlist
You see a tight, qualified shortlist. We manage interviews, feedback and offers end to end.
Every profile is screened against the brief and prepared for your process, so interviews start from evidence instead of guesswork.
Typical outputs
Offer, start and retention
We stay in touch through onboarding and beyond to make sure the placement works for everyone.
We manage feedback, offer detail, counter-offer risk and onboarding touchpoints so momentum carries through to a settled placement.
Typical outputs
Quality control
Before anyone reaches your inbox, we check the practical details that tend to slow hiring down later. The result is a smaller, more useful shortlist.
Technical fit against the MEICA discipline and project stage
Location, salary, availability and working-pattern alignment
Motivation, notice period and offer-risk clarity
Interview preparation for both candidate and client
Onboarding follow-up after the start date
Engagement models
We can move quickly on urgent vacancies, or go deeper on senior and hard-to-fill roles.
Pay only when we place someone. Best for permanent roles where speed and volume matter and you're happy to talk to multiple agencies.
An exclusive engagement for senior, niche or business-critical roles. Dedicated time, proactive headhunting and a committed shortlist on a clear timeline.
Day-rate engineers and interim teams for fixed-term work. IR35-compliant arrangements with margin transparency.
Specialisms
The process works because the search stays inside the disciplines we know. That means sharper briefs, better screening and more credible candidate conversations.
From rotating equipment and pipework to HVAC and process plant — mechanical design, project and site roles across water, energy and manufacturing.
LV and HV design, installation and supervision for renewables, infrastructure and industrial schemes — from BS 7671 to G99 and beyond.
Field instrumentation, loop checking and commissioning in regulated and hazardous environments, including pharma, oil & gas and water.
PLC and SCADA development, functional design and commissioning for utilities, process and industrial automation.
Robotics integration and process automation for advanced manufacturing — driving throughput, reliability and quality.
