Specialising In

As a Senior Technical Consultant, I partner with engineering businesses across the UK, using deep industry knowledge to identify and attract top talent for hard‑to‑fill roles. I pride myself on strong process management, a consultative approach, and the ability to build trusted relationships at every level — from engineers on the shop floor to senior decision‑makers. Alongside my technical expertise, I bring well‑developed account management skills, ensuring clients receive consistent communication, tailored support, and a recruitment experience that is smooth, structured, and aligned with their goals.

 

Experience & Background

I am an experienced Recruitment Consultant who thrives on the challenge of analysing technically complex roles and developing effective solutions for clients. With a particular focus on electrical, electronic, and mechanical engineering disciplines, I support businesses in securing specialist talent across a wide range of vacancy types.

Typical roles I recruit include:

·         Design Engineers

·         Project Engineers

·         Electronic Engineers

·         Applications Engineers

·         Systems Engineers

·         Controls Engineers

·         Mechanical Engineers

·         Electrical Engineers

My background before recruitment was in town planning, where I supported major planning applications for homebuilders. This experience strengthened my analytical thinking, communication skills, and stakeholder management — all of which now underpin my work in technical recruitment and client account management.

Today, I combine technical understanding with a solutions‑led mindset, ensuring clients receive insight, reliability, and a partnership approach that supports long‑term success.
