Specialist engineering recruitment in Lanarkshire

Lanarkshire is where Engineering Recruit Scotland is based, at Strathclyde Business Park in Bellshill, and it is one of the most concentrated engineering areas in Scotland. The county built its name on steel and heavy engineering, and although most of the steel industry has gone, fabrication, manufacturing and engineering services remain major employers.

Engineering employers are spread across a string of industrial estates close to the M8 and M74. Eurocentral near Holytown is a major manufacturing and logistics hub, while Righead in Bellshill, Newhouse, Coatbridge and Motherwell hold fabricators, machine shops and engineering services businesses. East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire has a long-established base of electronics, precision engineering and manufacturing companies at estates such as Kelvin and College Milton.

Transport links, training and the roles we recruit

Lanarkshire’s position between Glasgow and Edinburgh also makes it home to large food and drink production and distribution sites, construction and building services contractors, and the engineering teams of firms working on projects across the Central Belt. Ravenscraig, the former steelworks site in Motherwell, is being redeveloped for housing, business and leisure.

New College Lanarkshire, with campuses in Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge, and South Lanarkshire College in East Kilbride train engineering apprentices and technicians for local employers. Combined with rail and motorway links to Glasgow and Edinburgh, that gives Lanarkshire employers access to a large pool of engineering candidates.

We recruit design, quality, maintenance, estimating and project engineers, along with engineering managers and directors, for employers across the county. Our office at Willow House is a short drive from most of Lanarkshire’s industrial estates.

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.
