About Engineering Personnel

Engineering Personnel is a specialist engineering and technical recruitment agency helping Australian employers find the skilled people they need to keep projects, operations and businesses moving.

As the dedicated engineering recruitment division of Konnecting, we combine industry-focused recruitment with skilled migration expertise. This gives employers access to both local and international engineering talent, while also supporting qualified professionals who are looking to build their careers in Australia.

Konnecting was established in 2008 to help bridge the gap between Australian employers and skilled overseas workers. With one of our founders having migrated to Australia themselves, we understand the process from both sides – the pressure employers face when critical roles remain vacant and the challenges skilled professionals experience when relocating to a new country.

​

Engineering Recruitment Backed by Migration Expertise

Recruiting engineers and technical specialists in Australia can be difficult, particularly in regional areas, infrastructure projects, manufacturing, mining, energy, construction and other industries affected by skills shortages.

That is where Engineering Personnel provides a practical advantage.

We do more than introduce candidates. We help employers access a wider talent pool, assess suitability, support recruitment processes, and work alongside Konnecting’s migration professionals where visa sponsorship or international hiring is required.

Our team understands the importance of finding people with the right qualifications, technical capability, communication skills and long-term fit for the business.

​

Why Employers Choose Engineering Personnel

Over more than 17 years, Konnecting has refined an integrated approach to recruitment and skilled migration. Through Engineering Personnel, this experience helps employers:

Build stronger engineering and technical teams.

Access qualified candidates from local and international markets.

Reduce time spent searching for hard-to-fill roles.

Navigate recruitment and migration requirements with greater confidence.

Hire people who are serious about building a future in Australia.

Develop long-term workforce solutions, not just short-term placements.

We are especially experienced in supporting employers who operate in regional Australia, major project environments, and industries where technical skills are in short supply.

​

Our Approach

We take the time to understand each employer’s business, role requirements, location, project demands and workforce goals. From there, we identify candidates who match not only the technical brief but also the working environment and long-term needs of the organisation.

For candidates, we provide clear guidance and honest communication throughout the recruitment journey. For employers, we focus on practical outcomes: reliable shortlists, suitable talent, and support through the steps required to secure the right person.

At Engineering Personnel, we do not simply fill vacancies. We connect Australian businesses with the engineering talent that helps them innovate, grow and deliver important work.
