About Engineering Recruit Scotland

We listen, advise, consult and then deliver.

Our History

The company is headed up by Derek Anderson and Robert McGougan, sales recruitment professionals with over twenty-five years experience gained from various roles throughout Scotland. Both are skilled recruiters who have worked their way up from Consultant to Director level with various companies and have vast knowledge when it comes to recruiting sales professionals.

Located in the Scottish central belt, Engineering Recruit Scotland was started the beginning of 2009 with the goal to provide full and proper value added recruitment services to employers seeking to recruit the best UK-based Engineering talent.

As a company we felt that far too many recruitment consultancies were simply skimming job boards and shuffling CVs to potential employers. For us, this was not a valuable service and wanted to offer something different.

Our Specialisms

At Engineering Recruit Scotland we specialise in business-to-business technical opportunities. Most of the positions that we handle tend to be of a Engineering nature. Whether these are within Construction products and services, Information Technology or other sectors, the positions that we cover and the people whom we work with tend to have a technical element to them and involve a problem solving or consultation based sales process.

Engineering Recruit Scotland is a expert recruitment consultancy for those who have are highly skilled and experienced in an Engineering environment.

We aim to deliver the best candidate for the best suited job, making everyone happy.

Unfortunately we do not offer entry level or graduate assistance. If you are someone looking to break into Engineering from a different career path, (unless you have product experience within a particular sector and are looking to move into a sales role within it) we are sorry, but it is doubtful that we are the best recruitment company to help you.

How we work

We provide nationwide expertise by networking with strong Engineering people in various vertical markets throughout the whole of Scotland. Expertise in the geographic area, the challenges within a particular market sector and expertise in properly assessing candidates to make sure that the positions we offer are right for them, as well as making sure that they are right for those positions themselves.
