Engineering Recruitment

Engineering recruitment agency in Singapore

Hiring engineers is hard when a CV can’t tell you who can actually do the job. Our consultants speak engineering — so we place people vetted for real technical ability, from design and project engineers to QA/QC, maintenance and plant leadership.

What we do

Engineers, judged by engineering standards

A strong engineering CV and a strong engineer aren’t the same thing. We take time to understand the systems, standards and equipment your role actually touches — then we screen for people who can do it, not just describe it.

Whether you need one specialist or a whole project team, you only meet engineers we’d genuinely put our name behind — and we stay close from first interview to first day on site.

What engineering roles does JTE recruit for in Singapore?

We recruit across mechanical, electrical & electronics, process & chemical, civil & structural, project, maintenance & reliability, QA/QC, design & R&D, and automation & controls — from individual engineers to engineering management and plant leadership.

Do you recruit permanent and contract engineering roles?+

Yes. We handle permanent engineering hires as well as contract and project-based roles for commissioning, shutdowns and ramp-ups. We can also employ and payroll contract engineers on your behalf.

How do you assess an engineer’s technical ability?+

Our consultants understand engineering briefs, so we screen for real capability — the systems, standards and equipment a role actually needs — not just matching keywords on a CV. You only meet engineers we would genuinely vouch for.

How much does engineering recruitment cost?+

Permanent placements work on a success-fee basis — you only pay when you hire. We agree the terms clearly with you before any search begins. Get in touch for a quote — and see current engineering salary ranges in Singapore to benchmark a package. We’ve also written on why hiring engineers usually comes down to pay, not talent. Open to a mid-career hire? A Career Conversion grant can cover up to 70–90% of their salary while they reskill.

Can you help with work passes for foreign engineers?+

Yes. Alongside the hire, we can manage Employment Pass, S Pass and work-permit applications and ongoing payroll, so onboarding an overseas engineer stays compliant and simple.

We also run IT & tech recruitment, manufacturing recruitment and logistics & supply chain recruitment in Singapore — across permanent and contract staffing hires. New to hiring for these roles? Read our take on hiring engineers in Singapore.
