Ben Dawson

Specialising In

I specialise in engineering recruitment across a wide range of industries, including Aerospace, Automotive, Manufacturing, and Defence. My focus is on connecting businesses with the UK’s top talent — from highly skilled Technicians and Engineers through to Team Leaders and Engineering Managers.

In my role as a Delivery Consultant, I support complex, technical hiring needs by sourcing high‑calibre candidates, managing the recruitment process end‑to‑end, and ensuring both clients and candidates receive a smooth, professional, and proactive service. I take pride in understanding exactly what each engineering environment needs, ensuring every placement adds real value.

 

Experience & Background

I joined Omega in August 2023 after graduating from UWE, motivated by a desire to work closely with leading engineering professionals and support some of the UK’s most exciting and innovative industries. Although new to the recruitment world, I’ve quickly built a strong understanding of the technical markets I support and have developed a passion for matching exceptional talent with businesses that are shaping the future of engineering and manufacturing.

I currently work alongside aerospace, defence, automotive, and advanced manufacturing companies producing high‑quality, precision‑engineered products. My goal is to deliver a high‑level, reliable service that helps organisations grow their teams and helps candidates progress in careers they’re genuinely excited about.

I’m driven, detail‑oriented, and committed to building long‑term relationships with the clients and candidates I support. Every day in this role brings something new, and I enjoy the challenge of finding the right technical fit for each unique requirement.
