Engineering Recruitment Agency Ayrshire
- Engineers for North, East and South Ayrshire
- Aerospace, process, manufacturing and food and drink
- Prestwick, Irvine, Kilmarnock and Ayr
- 25 years recruiting engineers in Scotland
Ayrshire has one of Scotland’s most distinctive engineering bases. Prestwick, around Glasgow Prestwick Airport, is Scotland’s only designated Aerospace Enterprise Area, and the aerospace businesses there employ design, manufacturing, quality and maintenance engineers working on aircraft structures, components and repair.
Beyond aerospace, Irvine and the surrounding area in North Ayrshire host chemical, pharmaceutical and process manufacturing sites, while Kilmarnock and the towns of East Ayrshire have a long history of engineering and manufacturing. Food and drink production, from dairy to distilling, is also a significant employer across the county.
Ayrshire College, with campuses in Ayr, Kilmarnock and Kilwinning, trains engineering apprentices and technicians, including for the aerospace sector. The M77 and A77 link East and South Ayrshire to Glasgow, and the A737 and A78 serve North Ayrshire, so many engineers commute in both directions between Ayrshire and the Glasgow area.
We recruit design, quality, manufacturing, maintenance and project engineers, along with engineering managers and directors, for employers across Ayrshire. Every engineer we put forward has been interviewed by phone and on Teams, and we tell you at the start how quickly we can help.

Most engineering assignments take 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how complex the role is. Recent examples include a Maintenance Engineer placed in 3 weeks and a Quality Manager placed in 6 weeks. We give you an honest view of the likely timescale when we take the brief.
Every engineer is interviewed by phone and on a Teams video call before you see a CV. Each CV comes with a written summary of the engineer's background, why they are looking and their salary expectations, so you only see people with the right skills, experience and motivation.
We agree terms for each assignment rather than publishing a standard rate, because the right structure depends on the role and how you want to hire. Terms include a free candidate replacement guarantee. Call 01698 464 099 to discuss your vacancy.
