Specialist design engineering recruitment
Innovation begins with design.
Our engineering team specialises in sourcing design engineers across industries such as defence, marine, manufacturing, and MedTech for permanent and contract roles. We focus on professionals with hands-on expertise in CAD modelling, 3D design, finite element analysis (FEA), mechanical tolerance design, and prototype development. Whether your projects involve marine hull structures, defence equipment, automated production machinery, or precision medical devices, we connect you with engineers capable of translating concepts into functional, manufacturable solutions.
We work with engineers experienced in tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, AutoCAD, and ANSYS, as well as simulation and stress analysis software. Our candidates understand industry standards including ISO 9001, ASME, and ISO 13485, giving confidence that their designs meet regulatory and operational expectations.
Each search is tailored to your team, project complexity, and technical requirements. By engaging closely with hiring managers, we identify engineers whose practical design knowledge, software proficiency, and understanding of sector-specific constraints ensure your projects stay on track and deliver results.
