Ignite specialises in mechanical engineering recruitment, connecting some of Australia’s largest organisations with qualified, engaged, and passionate engineers. As the Australian government continues to invest heavily in resources and the national energy transition, more businesses are looking for great talent – mechanical engineering has officially been listed on the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL), indicating that we’re experiencing a national shortage.
At Ignite, we understand the need for good engineers better than anyone. As a specialist recruitment firm, our expertise lies specifically in technology and engineering – mechanical engineering is one of our most common recruitment disciplines. Our recruiters understand the value of finding good, long-tenured engineers. We’ve been able to build up a network of excellent junior, mid, and senior level candidates who are ready to take the next step in their career.
