We support engineering consultancies across a wide range of disciplines. Here are some of our core specialisms:
Senior & Executive
We help consultancies strengthen their leadership teams by identifying and placing senior professionals with a strategic, technical and commercial mindset. We align candidates to the organisation’s values, structure and goals.
Legal
We place legal professionals with expertise in areas such as infrastructure law, construction contracts, planning and environmental legislation, and commercial risk. Whether in-house or external counsel, we help clients navigate complex legal frameworks with confidence.
Finance & Accountancy
From Commercial Finance Analysis and Project Accountants to Financial Controllers and Finance Directors, we provide professionals who bring both sector experience and strategic insight. Our candidates support robust financial governance, commercial decision-making, and long-term planning in engineering environments.
Technology
Engineering consultancies are embracing digital tools, data analytics and cloud-based systems to improve efficiency and project outcomes. We recruit tech professionals across IT operations, cyber security, software development and digital transformation – connecting engineering firms with tech talent that understands sector priorities.
Navigating challenges in the engineering sector
Recruiting into engineering consultancies presents unique challenges:
- Highly specialised roles requiring niche experience, often in short supply.
- Growing demand for hybrid skill sets (e.g. legal and technical, finance and commercial).
- Increased competition for experienced professionals, particularly in public sector projects.
- The need for rapid mobilisation to meet project timelines.
- Compliance and governance pressures within regulated environments.
- Workforce expectations shifting towards flexible working, clear progression, and project variety.
Our team understands these sector-specific pressures and works closely with clients to build recruitment strategies that overcome them – and position their business as an employer of choice.
