Each discipline has its own chemistry, kit, standards, hazards and talent pool. We recruit across all of them because the sector needs a partner who speaks the language.
Zinc, nickel, chrome, copper, silver, gold and alloy plating. Rack and barrel processes. Hard chrome on hydraulic rods, rollers and precision components. We recruit process engineers, chemists, line supervisors, quality managers and operations leaders across general industrial, aerospace, defence and automotive platers.
Sulphuric, chromic, hard and architectural anodising. Chromate and trivalent conversion coatings, phosphating, passivation. We recruit across architectural anodisers, aerospace finishers, specialist hard anodisers and general industrial converters.
Architectural powder coating to Qualicoat and BS EN standards, high-performance industrial coatings, contract finishing and wet paint systems. We recruit production managers, quality leads, applicators, BDMs and directors across architectural, industrial and coating equipment manufacturers.
Case hardening, carburising, nitriding, vacuum, atmosphere and induction processes. We recruit metallurgists, process engineers, furnace managers and quality professionals across commercial heat treaters and captive in-house facilities.
HVOF, plasma, arc and flame spray. Wear, corrosion and dimensional restoration for aerospace, energy, oil and gas. We recruit coating engineers, operators, development chemists and commercial leaders across specialist sprayers.
Thin-film deposition, DLC, tool coatings and next-generation surface engineering. We recruit R&D scientists, process engineers, coating chamber specialists and commercial leaders across vacuum and plasma-based surface technology businesses.
Electroless nickel (EN), electroless copper and autocatalytic deposition for uniform thickness on complex geometries. Used heavily in oil and gas, electronics, automotive and precision engineering. We recruit process chemists, line technicians, quality leads and operations managers across specialist EN platers and contract finishers.
Hot-dip galvanising, spin galvanising and zinc flake coatings for structural steel, fasteners and fabrications. We recruit plant operators, production managers, quality engineers and commercial leaders across general galvanisers and specialist fastener coaters.
Mechanical polishing, vibratory finishing, barrel tumbling, electropolishing and deburring. Used across medical devices, food processing, architectural metalwork and precision components. We recruit skilled polishers, finishing supervisors, production managers and technical leads.
Aqueous cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, vapour degreasing, pickling and chemical pre-treatment lines. The upstream processes that sit in front of every coating and plating operation. We recruit process engineers, line supervisors, EHS specialists and plant managers.
Shot, grit and bead blasting, automated shot peening and controlled surface profiling for fatigue life improvement. Aerospace, automotive and energy applications. We recruit operators, Almen technicians, process engineers and quality professionals.
Copper plating, ENIG, HASL, immersion tin and gold for printed circuit boards. Chemical etching and photochemical machining for precision metal parts. We recruit process engineers, chemists, production managers and quality leads across PCB manufacturers and contract etchers.
MIG, TIG and submerged arc weld overlay. Laser cladding, laser hardening and directed energy deposition for wear and corrosion protection. We recruit welding engineers, laser process specialists, metallurgists and project managers across energy, nuclear and heavy industry contractors.
Decorative and functional plating on ABS, PC/ABS and composite substrates for automotive, consumer electronics and bathroom fittings. We recruit process engineers, chemists, tooling specialists and production managers across PoP specialists and automotive Tier 1 finishers.
Whatever the discipline, every surface engineering business needs the same functional capabilities: process engineering, quality, EHS, continuous improvement, maintenance and controls, and commercial. We recruit into all of them, at every level from graduate to director.
