Why TQN Personnel
Hunter Valley engineering teams work across heavy industry, energy and infrastructure, and an engineer who suits one site can struggle on another. We take a detailed brief, then match on discipline, site conditions, shift patterns and safety record rather than a job title alone. Every shortlisted engineer has been interviewed by a recruiter and reference checked with recent supervisors. Permanent placements carry our 90-day guarantee, and for contract and temp roles we handle pay, super and workers compensation so you can stay focused on the project.

FAQs
What does an engineering recruitment agency in the Hunter Valley do?
We find, screen and place engineers for Hunter Valley employers. That covers briefing, sourcing, interviewing, reference checks and qualification checks, then a shortlist of people worth meeting. You make the hiring decision, and permanent placements are backed by our 90-day guarantee.
How quickly can you shortlist engineers?
Expect a vetted shortlist in 7 days from a clear brief. Niche disciplines or roles that need specific site experience can take longer to confirm, and we tell you early if that is likely so you can plan around it.
Do you recruit for mining and non-mining engineering roles?
Yes. Alongside coal mining, we recruit for hospitals, aged care, food and grocery, manufacturing and infrastructure employers who need mechanical, electrical, civil and project engineers. Tell us the site environment and we match candidates who have worked in similar conditions.
Can you supply contract engineers?
Yes. For contract and temp engineers we handle pay, super and workers compensation, so you add project capacity without adding to your payroll. Permanent, contract and temp options can be mixed across a single project.
What should I include in a brief for engineering recruitment in the Hunter Valley?
Tell us the discipline, the site and shift pattern, any must-have tickets or qualifications, and the start date. The more detail you give about equipment and reporting lines, the tighter the shortlist. We will confirm the rest on a short call.
