Defence Recruitment Specialists

Specialisms

Land

We are proud to support the UK’s armed forces. Our Dedicated Defence team support the ‘Prime’ global contractors within the Land-based defence systems, Personal protection, Armoured vehicles and system/platform integration. We work in partnership with our customers providing both contract/temporary and permanent talent to support the full development and production life cycle.

Our expertise recruiting for the land domain and systems and products that protect the British Army and NATO forces is born from a track record in delivery.

Sea

Working with some of the world’s largest defence sub-contractors in the Marine, Submarine and Marine based defence systems, we take huge pride in delivering permanent and contract/temporary resources to support the development and production of the latest Warships, Carriers, Special Forces craft and submarines.

We don’t only work with the large Primes, our Defence team also recruit talent for many of the SME’s who design, develop and integrate specialist sub-systems.

Through the network our Defence team has developed in recent years, we are able to tap directly into Royal Navy service leavers, as well as finding industry-specific experts around disciplines such as Radar, Sonar, sub-system integration and In-service support.

Air

With over 20 years’ experience within Aerospace and Aviation industry (military and commercial), our defence team are working with global defence organisations and SME’s to provide the latest aircraft and sub-systems to the Royal Air Force (RAF) and NATO / European partners.

Our defence team and key accounts team deliver high calibre candidates with the required experience to support Military aircraft production, MRO, in-service support and Air based defence system design and development.

As with most technical engineering development projects, we understand there is a project lifecycle. Different skills and expertise will be required. Some are constant throughout, other project milestones and gate reviews will require different functional skills and experience.

We work with our clients to understand their projects, where they are in the lifecycle and the resource requirements.

Cyber

We understand the importance of the ever-evolving ‘Digital Backbone’ protecting the UK and her Armed Forces,   providing consultancy and resource to support the Cyber Security domain.

We have a strong talent network within the Cyberspace sector, not an easy task with talent unable to clearly denote DV / UKIC security cleared status, so this network is built and evolves based on our knowledge of projects, sites and the work being carried out across these.

Our Defence and Cyberspace team support project across several crucial Cyber domains and CNI domains;

Intelligence - Communities such as GCHQ/NCSC, MI5 (SS) and MI6 (SIS)

Government - Central government – Home Office, FCDO etc.

Defence - MOD sites and facilities from RAF Bases to Scientific laboratories, to Prime defence sub-contractors

Our expertise

Our expertise spans the whole 6 phase CADMID Lifecycle model, favoured by the MOD. From Concept, Assessment, Demonstration and Manufacture, through to In-Service and Disposal/Termination, it is characterised by approval points generally at either end of the Assessment phase.

Project and programme management, is an essential part of the defence industry. Recognising the complex and demanding requirements for large projects and programmes is an area where we can support. With project complexity increasing, the demand for risk managers, programme managers and project controllers is on the rise.

R&D is fundamental to the development of the sector and to the survival of commercial partners to the MoD. With the innovation fund providing investment, the requirement for those who have experience in robotics, AI and machine learning is becoming prevalent.

Across a range of defence platforms and technological areas, we supply electrical, mechanical, systems and software engineers into all service areas.

Typically we are placing systems and software engineers into all service areas, whether that be systems integrations or complex missile systems. With cyber security becoming ever more prevalent, systems and software is an area where all defence areas are investing heavily.

With advances in technology, defence based products are being manufactured in different ways. Consequently the quality and test function are also having to change. It requires sophisticated and innovative test solutions alongside smart automation to ensure that increasing global standards are exceeded.

Our expertise spans both blue and white collar roles across defence manufacturing and the associated supply chain. This could specifically be jig and tool specialists through to manufacturing engineers.

Whether it is mechanics dealing with the maintenance and repair of active equipment, or reprogramming software to support active missions, in-service support needs to be highly skilled and often deployed with minimal notice.

All defence based businesses have a need for the support service areas. Whether that be supply chain and logistics professionals, procurement experts or those working in HR, legal, finance and contracts. Increasingly change management is becoming a required skill.
