Newcastle's economy

Newcastle's economy still runs on what built it: the port, heavy engineering and the manufacturing base that feeds the Hunter's mining and energy sector. Finding the right engineer or project manager here means finding someone who fits that environment, not just a generic recruitment process.


We recruit engineers, project managers and manufacturing talent across Newcastle, the Hunter, Maitland and the Central Coast.

Roles we place

Engineers (mechanical, electrical, civil/structural, environmental, production, planning)

Project managers



Drafters and design engineers

Manufacturing and production managers

Your region, covered

We work across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, Maitland and the Central Coast. Wherever your site sits in the region, we already know the local talent pool and the employers competing for it.

Why work with us

We've been placing people since 1959. That experience, combined with local knowledge of the Newcastle and Hunter market, a national candidate network and our BestFit assessment process, means you're never hiring on a CV alone.

FAQs

  • How do I hire an engineer in Newcastle?

    Start with a recruiter who specialises in engineering rather than a generalist agency. We work in white collar engineering and manufacturing recruitment across Newcastle and the Hunter, and can advise on realistic timeframes and salary expectations for a role in this market before the search begins.

  • How do I hire a project manager in the Hunter?

    Project management hires depend heavily on sector experience, particularly with mining infrastructure, energy transition and manufacturing projects that make up much of the Hunter's current pipeline. We recruit project managers across these sectors and can match candidates against the specific technical background your project needs.

  • What should I look for in an engineering recruitment agency in Newcastle?

    Look for a recruiter who works in engineering specifically, not one industry among many. Ask how they source candidates locally, whether they offer a replacement guarantee, and whether they understand current salary benchmarks in the Hunter market.

  • How do I hire manufacturing staff in Newcastle?

    Manufacturing hires, particularly at management level, often come down to finding someone who understands both the production floor and the commercial pressures above it. We place manufacturing and production managers across a region with a genuine industrial base, and can talk through your specific requirements.
