When it comes to recruiting top-tier engineering talent, the process can be complex, time-consuming, and highly competitive. The right engineering professionals are critical to the success of any project or organisation, and finding them requires more than just a basic understanding of the industry. It demands a deep knowledge of engineering disciplines, a keen understanding of project requirements, and an established network of high-calibre candidates. This is where we come in. With over 40 years of combined experience in the engineering and recruitment industries, we offer unparalleled expertise and a proven track record of success.
One of the key factors that set us apart from other recruitment agencies is our intimate knowledge of the engineering field. Our team at Infrastructure Business Growth doesn’t just recruit for engineers—we’ve worked in the industry ourselves. Having firsthand experience in various engineering roles, we have developed a deep understanding of the skills, expertise, and qualities required to excel in the field. This experience allows us to tailor our recruitment process to meet the unique needs of your business, ensuring that we provide candidates who are not only technically proficient but also culturally and strategically aligned with your organisation’s goals.
Our recruitment specialists have worked across a wide range of engineering disciplines, from civil and mechanical to electrical and mining engineering. We understand the intricacies of each discipline, the varying levels of expertise needed, and the challenges that arise at different stages of a project. This hands-on experience gives us a distinct advantage in selecting candidates who can not only meet the technical demands of the role but also thrive in the specific environment in which they will work.
Over the past four decades, we have honed our recruitment process to ensure that we can consistently identify and secure the best engineering talent available. Our Infrastructure Business Growth team’s combined 40 years of recruitment experience spans multiple industries and markets, and during this time, we have built an extensive network of professionals, including passive candidates who may not be actively seeking new opportunities but are open to the right offer.
We understand the nuances of recruitment in the engineering sector, including the importance of identifying candidates who can not only meet technical requirements but also possess the soft skills necessary to succeed in complex, dynamic environments.
Our recruitment team is well-versed in sourcing, interviewing, and evaluating candidates for a variety of roles, from junior engineers to senior leadership positions. This depth of experience ensures that we can handle the full spectrum of recruitment needs, from entry-level positions to high-level, executive roles.
The engineering field is vast and highly specialised, with each discipline requiring unique expertise and skill sets. Whether you are looking for civil engineers to work on large-scale infrastructure projects, electrical engineers for renewable energy systems, or mechanical engineers for manufacturing operations, we have the expertise to understand the technical requirements of the role and the candidate’s capabilities.
Our team’s broad knowledge of engineering allows us to accurately assess candidates for a wide variety of specialisations. From structural engineers designing critical bridge infrastructure to mining engineers overseeing underground LHD with jumbos & boggers to surface excavator, dozer & truck operations, we know what to look for in terms of qualifications, experience, and problem-solving abilities. This technical insight allows us to find candidates who not only possess the necessary qualifications but also have the practical experience to succeed in the specific challenges they will face in their new roles.
At Infrastructure Business Growth, we recognise that every business is unique, and so are its staffing needs. We take a customised approach to recruitment, tailoring our services to meet the specific requirements of each client. Whether you are a large multinational corporation or a small engineering consultancy, we work closely with you to understand your company’s culture, goals, and specific hiring needs.
We don’t just fill positions—we take the time to learn about your business, the projects you are working on, and the kind of engineers you need to drive your success. This allows us to provide you with candidates who are not only technically qualified but also fit well with your organisational culture and values. By taking a strategic, long-term view of your staffing requirements, we help ensure that the candidates we provide will contribute to your business’s growth and success, both now and in the future.
A detailed client brief is the cornerstone of the recruitment process at Infrastructure Business Growth. It is the first step in understanding what your organisation truly needs and ensuring that we source candidates who are not just a fit on paper but are genuinely suited to the role and the environment.
When we first engage with a client, we take the time to conduct a thorough briefing session that goes beyond the job description. While job titles, responsibilities, and qualifications are important, they do not capture the essence of what makes a role truly unique. To ensure we can identify the right candidate, we delve deeper into several key areas:
A candidate’s ability to succeed in a role goes far beyond their technical skills. They must fit within the corporate culture and work well with your team. During our briefing process, we work with you to understand your company’s values, vision, and work environment. We ask questions such as:
What are the core values and principles that drive your organisation?
How would you describe the work environment? Is it collaborative, competitive, or more independent?
What is your leadership style, and what types of leaders do you believe will thrive within your organisation?
Are there any specific personality traits or soft skills that are particularly important for success within your company?
These insights allow us to identify candidates who will not only perform well in the role but also integrate seamlessly into your team, contributing positively to the culture and overall morale of the organisation.
Every role presents its own set of challenges, whether they are technical, operational, or related to team dynamics. Understanding these challenges is essential in ensuring that we match the right candidate who can navigate and overcome these obstacles successfully.
At Infrastructure Business Growth, we work closely with our clients to get a clear picture of the challenges that the business is currently facing or expects to face in the near future. These challenges could include:
Complex technical requirements or projects that require deep expertise in a specific engineering discipline.
Navigating organisational change, such as mergers, restructures, or scaling up operations.
Managing time-sensitive projects or high-pressure deadlines.
Building or leading new teams or divisions that require a strong leader with excellent interpersonal and problem-solving skills.
By gaining a comprehensive understanding of these challenges, we ensure that the candidates we present have not only the technical expertise but also the resilience, problem-solving ability, and strategic thinking required to tackle these hurdles successfully.
Certain roles require very specific skills and experience that cannot be learned overnight. Whether you’re hiring for a highly specialised engineering role, a senior project manager for an infrastructure project, or a technical expert for a renewable energy initiative, we ensure that we thoroughly understand the exact technical skills and experience required for success.
To get a clear understanding of the niche skills and experience necessary for the role, we ask questions such as:
What are the specific technical qualifications or certifications required for this role? Are there any preferred or industry-standard qualifications that will ensure success?
What previous projects or work experience should the ideal candidate have? What kind of projects have they worked on in the past that would demonstrate their ability to handle the challenges of this role?
Are there any specific tools, technologies, or software that the candidate must be proficient in?
What level of expertise is required—entry-level, mid-career, or senior leadership?
By gaining a detailed understanding of the technical skills and experience you need, we can target candidates who have the exact qualifications and background to hit the ground running. Our focus is on finding those candidates who have faced similar challenges and can quickly adapt to your organisation’s specific needs.
To ensure that the candidate we place is motivated to succeed, we need to understand what the rewards of the role are. People are motivated by different things, and understanding what excites and drives the right candidate is key to matching them with your opportunity.
When we engage with our clients, we explore several key areas to understand the rewards and motivations for the role:
Career Growth and Advancement Opportunities: Does the role offer clear opportunities for career progression? What does success look like in the role, and what kind of growth potential is there within the organisation?
Financial and Non-Financial Incentives: Beyond the salary package, are there other perks and incentives such as bonuses, profit-sharing, or flexible work arrangements that could attract the right candidates?
Impact and Purpose: For many candidates, especially in the engineering sector, the opportunity to work on projects that have a positive impact on society—whether it’s infrastructure, sustainability, or innovation—can be a powerful motivator. We want to understand what makes the role meaningful in terms of its contribution to the broader community and industry.
Work-Life Balance and Flexibility: Work-life balance is an increasingly important consideration for professionals. Understanding how flexible the role is in terms of working hours, location, and overall work-life balance is essential to attracting the right candidates who value these aspects.
Once we understand the rewards that the role offers, our team at Infrastructure Business Growth can identify candidates who are genuinely motivated by the specific incentives the position provides. This ensures that we not only find someone who is technically capable but also someone who is driven to succeed and committed to delivering excellent results in the role.
One of the most important aspects of our recruitment process is matching candidates who have thrived in challenges similar to those your organisation is facing. We understand that hiring the right candidate is not just about their qualifications but also their track record in overcoming challenges and thriving in specific environments.
Our extensive network and decades of experience in engineering recruitment allow us to tap into a pool of candidates who have a proven history of success in roles and challenges similar to the ones your business is facing. We leverage this network to identify individuals who have:
Successfully led projects of similar size and complexity, whether in terms of technical requirements, budget, or team size.
Worked in similar industries or environments, allowing them to bring relevant knowledge and experience to the table.
Navigated challenges similar to the ones your organisation is currently facing, such as scaling operations, dealing with regulatory changes, or handling complex technical problems.
Demonstrated the ability to adapt to change, thrive in high-pressure environments, and continuously learn and grow in their careers.
We believe that the best way to ensure success in a new role is to match candidates with the kind of challenges they have previously excelled in. By doing so, we ensure that they are not only capable of handling the technical demands of the role but also have the resilience and experience to adapt to the challenges and opportunities your organisation presents.
The ultimate goal of our detailed client briefing process is to ensure that we closely match the right candidates with your roles, ensuring long-term success for both the candidate and your organisation. A close match leads to higher retention rates, greater productivity, and a more positive work environment. It also reduces the costs and disruptions associated with turnover and re-recruitment.
By understanding the intricacies of your organisation, the role, the challenges ahead, and the rewards the position offers, we are able to present candidates who are not only capable of performing in the role but also excited about the opportunity. This leads to a better fit, increased job satisfaction, and ultimately, a more successful hire.
At the heart of our recruitment process at Infrastructure Business Growth is a deep understanding of both the roles we are recruiting for and the candidates we place.

Finding the right professional goes beyond just reviewing a resume. While technical qualifications are important, we believe that assessing a candidate’s suitability for a role involves a deeper evaluation of their experience, skills, and personality. Our recruitment process is designed to provide a thorough assessment of each candidate, including:
Technical Skills: We assess candidates’ technical expertise through detailed interviews and technical assessments. This ensures they have the required knowledge and capabilities to succeed in the role.
Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: Engineering professionals are often required to tackle complex, unforeseen challenges. We evaluate candidates’ ability to think critically and approach problems with innovative solutions.
Cultural Fit: A candidate’s ability to fit within a team and align with your organisation’s values is crucial for long-term success. We carefully evaluate how well candidates will integrate into your company culture.
Soft Skills: Communication, leadership, and teamwork are vital skills for engineers working on large projects. Our recruitment process takes these skills into account, ensuring that candidates are not only technically competent but also effective collaborators.
