About Precision Recruitment Global

Why we exist

Engineering recruitment is its own discipline. The CAD package matters. The tolerance band matters. The certification standard matters. The wrong hire on a precision line can scrap a production batch. Generalist agencies firehose CVs and miss the technical signals.

Precision Recruitment Global was set up to fix that. We are a UK permanent recruitment partner with one belief at the centre of the desk: a hire only works if both sides feel cared for. The employer gets a brief taken seriously, a shortlist that meets the spec, and a consultant who knows the difference between a SolidWorks designer and a CATIA structures engineer. The candidate gets the truth about the role and the project, not a sales pitch.

What we do, plainly

We place permanent staff for UK engineering, precision manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and advanced-engineering employers. Our desk is built around hires that meet the spec and stay, every step geared toward six-month outcomes.

The roles we place most often:

• Mechanical, electrical, electronics and embedded software engineers
• CAD designers (SolidWorks / CATIA / NX / AutoCAD / Inventor)
• CNC programmers, setter-operators, multi-axis machinists
• Toolmakers, jig & fixture specialists, mould tool engineers
• Quality engineers, CMM operators, NDT specialists, AS9100 audit leads
• Production managers, manufacturing engineers, lean / CI specialists
• Project engineers, NPI specialists, transfer-of-tooling leads
• Maintenance and reliability engineers, multi-skilled engineers
• Engineering directors, heads of design, plant managers, technical directors

How we vet

Every candidate goes through:

• Right-to-work verification
• Reference contact (current and previous employer where possible)
• CAD package experience verification (current proficiency, latest version)
• Certification check (AS9100 / IATF 16949 / ISO 9001 awareness as relevant)
• Tolerance / spec familiarity check (where role demands)
• A structured technical conversation, scenario-tested

Who we work for

Our clients are UK engineering employers, mostly small to mid-market manufacturers, plus advanced engineering scale-ups, aerospace and defence primes, automotive tier-1s, and precision sub-contract specialists. We work across the Midlands engineering belt, the NW manufacturing corridor, the NE auto cluster, and Scottish technology centres.

How we think about a placement

A successful placement is not a CV submission. It is the moment six months later when the new engineer is hitting tolerance, the audit is passing, and the project is on schedule. That is the only outcome that matters to us, and the only one we measure against.

Our values, the short version

• Brief to spec. A 30-45 minute call up front saves a fortnight on the back end.
• Tell the truth. If the salary is below market, we will say so. If certifications don't match, we will not pretend they do.
• One throat to choke. One consultant per client, end to end.
• Stand behind the work. Free replacement period on every placement.
• Tolerance-aware by default. CAD experience, certifications and project history checked as standard.
