Engineering Recruitment Merseyside: Our Lead Sectors
We recruit across every discipline. These three sectors create the most engineering jobs in Merseyside.
Automotive and manufacturing
JLR Halewood is becoming the company’s first all-electric production facility. We recruit production, maintenance, robotics and EV engineers for the plant and its suppliers.
Marine, port and infrastructure
Shipbuilding at Cammell Laird, the Liverpool2 terminal and major construction projects need marine, civil and structural engineers across the river.
Life sciences
Speke and Port Sunlight host vaccine manufacturing and major consumer-goods R&D. We recruit validation, process and automation engineers for regulated sites.
Why Merseyside Needs Specialist Engineering Recruitment
Engineering recruitment Merseyside employers need has changed fast. Jaguar Land Rover is investing £500m to turn Halewood into an EV factory, and more than 1,600 staff have already completed high-voltage training. Merseyrail’s new Stadler fleet is maintained at a new depot in Kirkdale. The Liverpool City Region Freeport projects £800m of investment and 14,000 jobs across Parkside, Wirral Waters and 3MG.
The river remains central. Liverpool2, Peel Ports’ £400m deep-water terminal, can berth two 13,500 TEU ships at once. Cammell Laird in Birkenhead has more than 120 years of shipbuilding history and employs 650 people, 1,500 subcontractors and 171 apprentices. That makes engineering jobs in Wirral some of the most specialised in the region.
Looking further ahead, the Mersey Tidal Power scheme could power every home in the city region for more than 100 years. Our engineering recruitment agency in Liverpool helps employers find the people to deliver all of it.
- EV and automotive production
- Shipbuilding, ship repair and port engineering
- Vaccine and consumer-goods manufacturing
- Rail, glass and construction engineering
