Engineering FAQs

  • What engineering roles do you recruit for?

    We recruit permanent engineering roles across the resources, water and infrastructure sectors in WA. That includes civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and process engineers, along with project, design and geotechnical engineers. 


    Our focus is the technical and professional end, the engineers who design, deliver and manage projects.

  • How quickly can you fill an engineering role?

    It depends on the discipline and seniority. A mid-level engineer in a common discipline moves faster than a scarce specialist or a senior technical lead. 


    We'll give you an honest read on the timeframe before you commit, and if a role is going to be hard to fill, we'll tell you why rather than take it on and go quiet.

  • Why use a specialist engineering recruiter over a big agency?

    Because a specialist understands the disciplines and only runs a handful of roles at a time, so yours gets proper attention. 


    A generalist agency covering every sector can't tell a process engineer from a project engineer the way someone focused on this work can. You also deal with us directly rather than a call centre, which for technical roles usually shows in the quality of the shortlist.

  • How do you find and screen engineers?

    Many of our candidates come through direct approaches and relationships, because the strongest engineers are often already employed and not applying. 


    We check discipline experience, chartership or progress towards it where it matters, along with right to work and references. The aim is that everyone you interview is genuinely worth your time.

  • How do your fees work?

    We work either on contingency, where you only pay on a successful placement, or retained for harder or more senior searches. 


    Which suits depends on the role and how difficult it's likely to be. We'll talk you through the options rather than push one, and we don't quote a percentage here because it varies with the brief.

  • What if the person doesn't work out?

    There's a guarantee period on permanent placements, so you're covered if it goes wrong early on. 


    We're careful about who we put forward so it doesn't come to that, but the guarantee is there as a backup.

  • Which engineering disciplines do you cover?

    We cover the disciplines tied to resources, water and infrastructure: civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and process engineering, along with project, design and geotechnical engineers.


    If you're not sure whether a particular role fits what we do, ask us and we'll give you a straight answer rather than take on something outside our area.

  • Can you help with hard-to-fill or senior engineering roles?

    Yes, and those are often where a specialist earns its keep. Senior technical leads, scarce disciplines and certifying roles usually can't be filled by advertising alone, so they need direct approaches and market knowledge. 


    We'll be honest about how realistic a role is and what it's likely to take to attract the right person.

  • Can you give me salary and market advice before I hire?

    Yes, with no obligation. We're happy to talk through what engineers are actually being paid, how realistic a role is to fill, and what the market looks like for a particular discipline. 


    It's often worth having that conversation before you advertise, so the role is pitched right and you're not caught out by what it takes.

  • Do you recruit for roles across WA, including regional and site-based positions?

    Yes. We recruit for engineering roles across WA, from Perth-based design and project roles to site-based positions in the regions. 


    What matters more than the location is whether it's a technical or professional engineering role, which is our focus. Tell us where the role is and we'll give you an honest read on the market for it.
