Specialist engineering recruitment in Dundee

Dundee has changed a great deal in the last decade, and engineering has been part of that. The port has become a base for offshore wind and decommissioning work, the former tyre factory at Baldovie has been redeveloped as an innovation park focused on sustainable mobility and energy, and the city’s universities support a research base in life sciences, engineering and digital technology.

Engineering employers are spread across the city’s industrial estates and business parks, including Kingsway, Claverhouse and Dundee Technology Park, and out into Angus, where Arbroath, Montrose and Forfar have manufacturing, food processing and port businesses. The port at Montrose supports offshore wind operations and maintenance. Dundee also has a strong video games and digital sector, which competes with engineering employers for electronics and software engineers.

The engineers Tayside employers need

That mix creates demand for a wide range of engineers: mechanical and electrical engineers for manufacturing and processing, project and maintenance engineers for port and energy work, and process and validation engineers for life sciences and pharmaceutical businesses.

The University of Dundee, Abertay University and Dundee and Angus College provide engineering, science and technician training locally, including apprenticeships in engineering and manufacturing. Road links along the A90 and over the Tay Road Bridge mean employers can realistically draw on engineers living across Tayside and north Fife.

Many engineers in Tayside commute to Perth or across the Tay into Fife, so we search across the region rather than just the city. That gives employers a wider pool of candidates, and gives engineers based here a clearer picture of what is within reach.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to fill an engineering vacancy?

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.

How do you screen engineering candidates?

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.

What are your fees and terms?

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.
