Engineering Recruitment

Australia’s engineering landscape faces critical skill shortages across multiple disciplines. Infrastructure projects require civil engineers with experience in complex urban environments, while the renewable energy transition demands electrical engineers who understand both traditional power systems and emerging battery storage technologies. Mining operations need mechanical engineers familiar with automated equipment, and environmental compliance increasingly requires specialists who can navigate both technical requirements and regulatory frameworks.

Jenny Barbour has developed specialised expertise in engineering recruitment across these diverse sectors. Through our consultative approach, we connect organisations with engineering talent who possess both technical competency and the leadership capabilities necessary to drive project success across Australia’s evolving infrastructure landscape.
