Large modern industrial manufacturing facility with automated production lines, conveyor belts, machinery, and workers in protective clothing

Controls and engineering talent for food and drink manufacturers.

The best controls engineers are rarely looking for work. They're busy keeping someone else's lines running. We find them, assess them properly and bring you a short list of people who can do the job from day one.

The problem we solve

When a controls or engineering role sits empty, downtime rises, breakdowns take longer to fix, and your remaining engineers carry the load. Generalist agencies send CVs that match keywords. We send engineers who match your site.

How we work

We learn your site. Platforms, lines, shift pattern, process or packaging, and what the right person needs to achieve in their first six months.
We search the whole market. Including engineers at system integrators, OEMs and other food sites who aren't on the job boards.
We screen for technical depth. Which PLCs and software they've used, whether they've written code or only modified it, how they approach fault-finding, and their safety and electrical qualifications.
We send a short list, not a pile. Each candidate comes with a clear summary of why they fit.
We stay with it. From interview through offer, notice period and their first months with you.

Roles we recruit

  • Controls, Automation and PLC/SCADA Engineers

  • Project engineers for new lines and upgrades

  • Engineering Managers, Heads of Engineering, and Directors

Terms

 Permanent recruitment on a contingency basis: you pay only when you hire. For senior or hard-to-fill roles, we also offer retained and exclusive searches, giving your vacancy priority and a dedicated search from day one.
