Aqra International

Aqra International is a specialist engineering recruitment firm founded by leaders with proven track records in building successful recruitment businesses. The company operates exclusively in three core engineering disciplines, delivering recruitment services across the full engineering organisation from C-suite executives and Vice Presidents of Engineering through to newly-licensed Professional Engineers. Aqra's focused approach means the firm does less but does it better, with deep expertise in identifying the engineers who stamp drawings, take responsibility for public safety, and deliver projects at scale.

Aqra specialises in three primary markets that form the backbone of America's infrastructure. Civil Engineering encompasses water systems, wastewater, transportation, structural, land development, and geotechnical disciplines that define how cities and regions function. Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection Engineering covers the systems that make buildings and infrastructure operate, representing a growing market with sustained demand for licensed PE talent. Power Delivery spans the high-voltage transmission sector through to utility-scale renewables and grid-scale storage, an industry undergoing transformational investment and expansion.

Aqra serves engineering firms, consultancies, and infrastructure companies across America through three tailored service models. AQRA+ provides retained search for senior leadership appointments and critical hard-to-fill roles with exclusive mandates and dedicated search teams. AQRA Network offers contingent search for discipline-specific engineering positions with no upfront fees or exclusivity requirements. AQRA Embed delivers embedded recruitment solutions for teams with sustained, high-volume, or flexible engineering demand, including multi-hire placements, RPO-style services, and contract resource provision. Clients consistently praise Aqra for delivering high-quality engineering talent, demonstrating strong understanding of technical requirements, and maintaining responsive, committed partnerships throughout challenging searches.
