What we do
Our specialist recruitment sectors
Aerospace
From satellite systems to programme engineering, we place aerospace specialists across every discipline — structures, avionics, systems, quality, NDT, and more. Our consultants understand the technical requirements behind each role, not just the job title. With a global network built over 22 years, we find the right engineers, wherever they are.
Aircraft maintenance
When an aircraft is on the ground, speed matters — and so does quality. We supply Part-66 and CAA licensed engineers, technicians, and maintenance management professionals to MROs, airlines, and operators worldwide. AOG response, planned programmes, or long-term contracts: we deliver.
Aircraft manufacture
Building aircraft to certification demands people who've done it before. We place structural fitters, composite technicians, quality engineers, systems installers, and production managers with OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and specialist modification centres — contract or permanent, individual or full teams.
Defence
Security clearances, export controls, programme confidentiality: defence recruitment has constraints that most agencies don't fully understand. We do. Since 2003, we've been placing engineers and technical specialists in defence programmes across the UK and internationally — with the discretion and regulatory awareness the sector demands.
