The number of vacant engineering jobs, both advertised and non-advertised is at an incredibly high level. Great engineering opportunities are in abundance and it is an ideal time to dust off your CV, update your profile and dip your toe back into the job market. Employers are exiting their hibernation mode created from the pandemic, have projects to deliver and milestones to achieve and many are urgently looking for strong talent to join them in order to accomplish their current goals. Confidence is returning quickly to industry and a variety of projects are resuming, so many employers are now feeling able to refocus on growth, and are eager to find employees to join them on the journey to expansion and beyond. It is truly a great time for any engineer looking to make a change.

Unemployment dropped during the last quarter again and is now at 4.2% which is our lowest level since before the start of the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. This trend reflects that companies have exited their hibernation modes and are hiring again. We have been inundated with our clients wanting us to fill some really interesting positions. Currently, we have a very high number of open engineering jobs – all very diverse in discipline, seniority, industry segment and geographical location.

If your circumstances have changed recently, please reach out to us and it will be our pleasure to help you update your resume and assist you to position yourself to conduct a great interview so as to secure your next assignment. 

Alternatively, if you or your friends/colleagues are looking for a fresh opportunity, please talk to us or refer your network onto us, and we will do our very best to help.

As the Eastern seaboard states are now starting to exit restrictions we have experienced a sharp increase in engineering positions needing to be filled. These are from many diverse engineering and manufacturing businesses. There’s a great mixture of businesses looking to recruit talented engineers at the moment. Of particular interest is a sizable group of exciting new technology-based businesses looking for high level engineers in roles that wouldn’t have existed several years ago – in particular electric/autonomous vehicle technology and 3D printing.

It’s definitely a great time to consider the career opportunities. We can provide guidance in identifying suitable opportunities, interview preparation and with the complete recruitment process. Why not check out our current positions on our job board that our company are working on?

Although recent surveys of consumer and business sentiment have shown dips, we’re yet to see any impact from the current lockdowns in Melbourne & Sydney. There’s still a big shortage of engineering talent in Australia and up to this point, hiring has not been impacted.

Through the year it’s progressively become much more challenging to fill our clients’ vacant positions in this talent-short market and hence if you are currently between roles, dissatisfied with your present position, considering relocating or perhaps just wishing to further develop your career pathway, please don’t hesitate to make contact with us and our team of engineering experts will be delighted to guide you through the recruitment maze. It can be very daunting to make that first move towards a new start, so if you are hesitant or uncertain as to the next step in the process, please do not stress – we are here to help you!

Should you not be currently looking but know of colleagues or friends who may be keen to pursue fresh opportunities please let them know about us and our core specialisation of engineering recruitment.

Our company has been operating for 42 years and it’s hard to recall a time when there has been so much demand for skilled talent. There are a number of factors coming together concurrently to cause this – the unemployment rate is dropping, business confidence is soaring in many sectors, immigration is at a standstill and many companies deferred hiring last year. There is a talent shortage and we’re beginning to see counter offers. The supply of talent does not match the demand for talent and if you’re a candidate with the right specialist skills, now is a very good time to be looking for a new role.

We hope you enjoy our team’s latest market commentary.
