Engineering People

Engineering People is a specialist recruitment agency dedicated to servicing the engineering and technical industries with precision and integrity. Founded in 2003, the company developed its distinctive hands-on assessment methodology to address a critical gap in the market, where candidates lacked the practical technical skills required to perform effectively. Engineering People operates a fully equipped workshop, electronics station and engineering suite where every candidate undergoes rigorous hands-on assessment before placement. The team comprises consultants with deep industry experience in boilermaking, electrical work, fitting and turning, and human resources, ensuring an intrinsic understanding of the roles they recruit.

Engineering People specialises across multiple core sectors including manufacturing, automotive, service and maintenance, construction, and viticulture industries. The company offers tailored recruitment solutions for engineers across all disciplines, utilising industry-standard tools such as SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD and Revit to assess design and engineering competence in real time. For trades recruitment and labour hire, candidates are assessed in the workshop across welding, fabrication, diagnostics of motors and hydraulic systems, and technical drawing interpretation. Additionally, Engineering People supports part-time engineering student placements from first to fourth year, helping organisations build team strength whilst supporting the next generation of engineers.

Operating from offices in Nunawading and Keilor East in Victoria, with additional presence in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, Engineering People differentiates itself through a partnership-based recruitment model and an unwavering commitment to quality. The company conducts thorough site visits and consultation to understand client needs precisely, delivering candidates with a skills guarantee based on specific requirements.
