Sourcing chartered, incorporated and technically skilled engineers across mechanical, electrical, civil and process disciplines.
Finding the right engineer is rarely straightforward. Technical skills alone are not enough - you need professionals who understand industry standards, hold the correct certifications and can integrate into project teams that are often already under pressure. Whether you are hiring a chartered structural engineer for a consultancy or a process engineer for a pharmaceutical plant, the margin for a poor hire is slim. At Jewels Recruitment, our engineering desk is staffed by consultants who understand the technical language, the professional bodies and the commercial realities of engineering businesses across the UK.
We recruit across the core engineering disciplines - mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, chemical and process engineering. Our clients range from multinational consultancies and Tier 1 contractors to specialist SMEs and in-house engineering teams within manufacturing, energy and infrastructure. We source design engineers, project engineers, principal engineers, engineering managers and technical directors. For businesses working to tight project timelines, we also provide contract engineers who can step in and contribute immediately without a lengthy onboarding period.
Professional standing matters in engineering. We verify chartership status with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Institution of Civil Engineers, IET and other relevant bodies as standard. For roles requiring specific competencies - such as CDM awareness, ATEX knowledge or pressure systems expertise - we screen candidates against these requirements before they reach your desk. This saves your hiring managers time and ensures every shortlist is genuinely relevant to the role specification.
The UK engineering skills gap is well documented, particularly in areas such as control and instrumentation, power systems and building services design. We have invested in building long-term relationships with passive candidates in these shortage disciplines. Many of the engineers in our network are not actively searching job boards - they respond to us because we have taken the time to understand their career goals and only approach them with opportunities that genuinely fit. This gives our clients access to talent they would not reach through advertising alone.
