Engineering Recruitment
Good Engineers aren't looking - they are busy creating, building or maintaining their infrastructure.
Connecting skilled engineers with the industries that keep Australia moving
At Equation Recruitment we understand that engineering is the backbone of modern industry. From the factory floor to the mine site, from design to delivery, the right engineers keep operations safe, efficient and moving forward.
For nearly two decades we’ve specialised in sourcing and placing high-performing engineers across manufacturing, maintenance, process, facilities, civil, mechanical and electrical disciplines. Our reach extends across Australia and the UK, allowing us to connect employers with engineers who bring technical expertise, problem-solving ability and a strong safety mindset.
Whether you’re seeking a maintenance technician to keep production running, a project engineer to deliver on-site upgrades, or a senior leader to drive innovation and efficiency, we find people who do more than meet the brief - they make a measurable difference.
We Do Not Rely on Job Boards – We Source the Engineers
Our approach is personal, precise and built on real relationships.
We engage directly with high performing engineers and technical specialists who are already delivering results in their current roles - the ones who are not scrolling job ads but will listen when the right opportunity comes along.
These are the people who solve problems before they become shutdowns, who improve efficiency, reduce downtime and keep operations safe. They are the quiet achievers behind every successful project, production line and facility, and they rarely appear on public job boards.
Our clients trust us because we uncover talent that others miss - experienced professionals who add measurable value from day one.
