Precision Engineering

Long lead times, exotic metals, components built to tolerances most people will never see. Precision engineering is its own world, and we recruit the engineers, machinists, and managers who live in it. Our work covers CNC programmers through to manufacturing leadership, for businesses making the components that go into automotive, motorsport, aerospace, and high-tech products.

Our Approach

spreading themselves across general manufacturing. They know the difference between a CNC programmer who’s worked to motorsport tolerances and one whose career has been in volume automotive. They understand why a 5-axis machinist experienced in complex, one-off components might be better suited to an aerospace manufacturer than someone used to high-volume production, and why experience with specific CAD/CAM software, machine controls or inspection equipment can make all the difference. It’s this technical understanding, combined with the relationships we’ve built across the sector, that allows us to identify the right people rather than simply matching CVs to job descriptions.

How We Work

We work across permanent, contract, and interim briefs in precision engineering, and we’ll always be straight with you on what’s realistic – whether the salary matches the technical capability you’re after, where the brief might need refining, and which type of hire suits the situation if you want our view. Permanent hires usually make most sense for the engineers and managers who’ll build long-term capability into the business. Contract or interim works well for project peaks, machine commissioning, programme delivery, or when you need senior technical capability without long-term overhead. A lot of our clients use both.

Recruit for

  • CNC Machinist
  • CNC Programmer
  • Toolmaker

  • Maintenance Technician
