Engineers Who Can Deliver on Site and in the Office

We recruit engineers across disciplines and seniority levels, screened for real project experience.

Engineering Recruitment Agency

Engineering hires carry responsibility for design quality, safety and project delivery. Contractors, consultancies, MEP firms and energy operators need engineers whose experience matches the project type, scale and codes they will work with. Our engineering recruitment focuses on verifying that experience — projects delivered, responsibilities held and qualifications earned.

We recruit civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, project, site, planning, QA/QC, commissioning, maintenance and BIM engineers, as well as draughtsmen and consultants. Engineers can be hired permanently or on contract, sourced from the UAE and international markets including Kenya and East Africa.
