Stirling sits at the centre of Scotland, within reach of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk and Perth, which makes it a practical base for engineers who cover sites across the Central Belt and beyond. The city and the wider Forth Valley have a mix of manufacturing, distilling and bottling, construction and energy employers.
Industrial activity in the city is concentrated at Springkerse, with further sites at Bandeath near Throsk, while Castle Business Park and the Stirling University Innovation Park house technology and professional firms. Across the Forth in Clackmannanshire, Alloa and the surrounding area have long been home to whisky maturation, blending and bottling operations.
The M9 and M80 put Grangemouth and the Falkirk industrial area within easy reach, so engineers based in Stirling often work across process, chemical and manufacturing sites as well as local employers. Rural Stirlingshire also has hydro and onshore wind developments, and many engineers who live in the Trossachs and the villages around Stirling travel into the Central Belt for work.
Forth Valley College, with campuses in Stirling, Falkirk and Alloa, delivers engineering apprenticeships and technician courses, and the University of Stirling supports research and innovation businesses at the Innovation Park. Employers here can draw on that local training pipeline as well as experienced engineers from across the Central Belt.
We recruit engineers for employers in Stirling, Clackmannanshire and the Forth Valley, from maintenance and multi-skilled engineers for production sites to design and project engineers, and site and building services engineers for construction projects across the region.

Search our engineering vacancies across the Forth Valley, or send us your CV so we can match you with roles within a sensible commute.
Let us know what you need. Stirling's central position means we can draw candidates from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk and Perth as well as the local area.
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.
