Ellis King has in depth knowledge of the engineering sector. Our consultants have worked for many of Australia’s blue-chip companies including Rio Tinto, Zinifex, The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers of Australia, Telstra and many others.

We are aware that the engineering sector struggles with skill shortages during boom times and that even in a moderate market, some specialist engineering skills are still hard to find.

To assist our clients, our consultants are active committee members of industry groups such as the Victorian State Government Skilled Migration Panel, Women in Resources Victoria, Women in IT and actively attend and support industry functions held by the Melbourne Mining Club, the Australian Industry Group, Engineers Australia, Disability Groups, Women in Resources, The Australian Institute of Management and many others.

To avail our clients with a steady flow of engineering expertise, we utilise our global networks and market intelligence. This includes monitoring the commencement and end of projects in specific industries, gathering data on the number of engineering students graduating from university, working with engineers from diversity groups, obtaining information on salary packages and keeping data on the location of candidates.

Ellis King has the capability to meet the needs of our specialist clients. We understand that engineering skill sets are not generic and that not all engineers are the same. For example a mechanical engineer can be specialised in either mining, manufacturing, power generation, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, facilities management, design, asset management, reliability or maintenance. We understand the difference.

A specialist company needs a specialist consultancy who can understand their individual needs.
