Focused on where advanced materials and engineering meet
I recruit exclusively within advanced materials and engineering markets. That focus means I understand the sectors I serve at a level a generalist recruiter can't match — the technology, the companies, the career paths, and the talent landscape.
Select a sector below to learn more about the types of roles I place and the challenges I support.
Aerospace, Space & Defence
Supporting OEMs and supply chain partners across aircraft, UAVs, space systems and defence manufacturing.
The aerospace, space and defence sector demands precision — in engineering and in hiring. Whether you're working on next-generation structural composites, UAV propulsion systems or satellite component manufacturing, the talent required is highly specialised and rarely actively seeking new roles.
I have long-standing relationships across the aerospace supply chain, from Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers through to specialist SMEs developing advanced materials for defence and space applications. I understand the clearance considerations, the project lifecycles and the technical requirements that make hiring in this sector different from any other.

- R&D and Materials Science professionals
Advanced Materials & Composites
Working with companies developing and manufacturing high-performance materials, including composites, polymers, coatings and engineered fabrics.
Advanced materials and composites sit at the heart of what I do. From carbon fibre reinforced polymers to technical textiles, engineered films to functional coatings — this is a sector with enormous breadth and a talent pool that rewards careful network cultivation over years, not weeks.
My network spans materials scientists, composites engineers, technical sales professionals, process engineers and executive leadership across the full spectrum of advanced materials businesses — from early-stage technology companies to global manufacturers.

Advanced Manufacturing & Precision Engineering
Partnering with businesses specialising in CNC machining, machine tools, automation and high-spec production environments.
Precision engineering and advanced manufacturing businesses need people who combine deep technical knowledge with commercial awareness and operational discipline. Finding them — particularly at management and leadership level — requires a recruiter who can speak the language of the shopfloor and the boardroom.
I support manufacturers and engineering businesses across CNC machining, machine tools, industrial automation, metrology and high-spec production, placing professionals who can lead teams, drive process improvement and support business growth.

CleanTech & Energy
Supporting organisations across renewable energy, nuclear, energy storage and sustainable manufacturing technologies.
The transition to clean energy is creating sustained demand for technical and commercial talent across wind, solar, hydrogen, battery technology and nuclear. Many of the advanced materials technologies I've recruited around for years are now central to this sector — whether that's composites for wind turbine blades, engineered textiles for filtration, or lightweight structures for next-generation energy storage.
I support businesses across the CleanTech and energy value chain in finding the professionals who can drive innovation, scale production and grow commercial presence in competitive markets.

Automotive & Future Mobility
Working with OEMs and innovative suppliers across EV, lightweight structures and next-generation mobility solutions.
The shift to electric vehicles and sustainable mobility is reshaping the automotive supply chain, creating significant demand for advanced materials expertise — particularly in lightweight composites, battery enclosures and structural components. I work with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and innovative new entrants who need technical and commercial talent at the intersection of materials science and automotive engineering.
Typical roles placed:
- Lightweight Structures and Composites Engineers
- EV Battery and Packaging Engineers
- Materials Development and Testing Engineers
- Technical Programme Managers
- Commercial and Business Development leaders
