Role: Maintenance Engineer
Sector: Manufacturing and industrial engineering
Location: Central Scotland
Time to fill: 5 weeks
The client
An advanced manufacturing business in central Scotland, part of an international group.
The brief
The client needed a Maintenance Engineer to look after specialist production equipment. The plant is unusual, so the client wanted an engineer with solid mechanical and electrical maintenance experience who would be comfortable learning equipment they would not have seen elsewhere.
How we handled it
We took a full brief on the technical side of the role, the team the engineer would join and the package, and gave an honest view at the start of how long it was likely to take. We then worked our network of engineers across central Scotland, including people who were not actively looking. Every candidate was interviewed by phone and on a Teams video call before the client saw a CV, and each CV came with a written summary of the engineer’s background, why they were looking and their salary expectations.
The outcome
The Maintenance Engineer was placed 5 weeks after the brief.
