Manufacturing & Engineering

Manufacturing jobs can involve the mechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of materials to create these new products.

Manufacturing & Engineering

Being of the broadest sectors in the UK, Engineering & Manufacturing, this accounts for almost 20% of all UK employment. The industry needs people across multiple levels, from skilled qualified professionals to semi-skilled workers.

The industry by large, is still mainly made up of SME businesses and is still short on skilled engineers, so there is never a better time to start a career or enhance your level of employment in this sector. Working in this sector offers such variation, depending on your specialism, from desk-based roles to factory floor workshop positions; there really is a role to suit everyone!

Damian has been able to find some real quality candidates. He has listened and given his best to finding new temp to perm staff. I won't lie, I wasn't always convinced but giving his candidates a chance has really paid off. Seems he really did know what I was looking for, even when I didn't.

Kelly texted me before calling (which was an excellent idea to avoid me worrying about taking a "spam" call) and that was the first indication I had of her professionalism and consideration for others. In all my conversations, not only did she bring that personal touch with remembering about my situation, but, I felt she was working just as much for me as for the client. She took time to find out what was important to me, and, since I am still looking, I know Kelly will look after me like no other. She's a very perceptive and sincere person - attributes which count for a lot in this line of business, if not the world at large. Thank you Kelly.

I discovered Damian through LinkedIn several months ago and after visiting our Thame manufacturing site for a familiarisation tour, he went straight to work on our current vacancies list and immediately made an impact with several excellent candidates. This has continued and we now have over 10 positions filled with really dynamic personnel across different positions.
Great professional and gets our business needs totally.
