Hire a senior mechanical engineer in Ireland — without the CV noise.

The problem

Senior mechanical roles in pharma and medtech are hard to fill. Generic job boards bring volume, not fit. You waste time on candidates who don't have GMP, validation, or the right level of ownership. If your mechanical engineer role in Cork (or Dublin, Galway) has been open for months, the cost is delayed projects and a stretched team.

Roles drag open for months. Projects slip. Your team carries the gap.

The solution

We deliver a shortlist of pre-qualified senior mechanical engineers: people we've already screened for regulated environments, technical depth, and fit with your type of role.

No noise. No wasted first-round interviews.

How it works

1. Tell us the role and what good looks like.

2. We source and screen against your brief.

3. You get a shortlist.

4. You only pay if you hire.

What "pre-qualified" means

Before any senior mechanical engineer reaches your shortlist, we check:

• Salary aligned with your band
• Notice period confirmed
• Relevant regulated/plant exposure (GMP/validation where required)
• Interview availability confirmed

Why this role is difficult to fill

Senior mechanical engineers with pharma or medtech experience are a narrow pool. You need both strong technical skills and exposure to GMP, validation, or capital project delivery in regulated environments. Many applicants have one and not the other.

The best fits are often already in roles and not actively applying. Sourcing and screening take time — which is why generic job ads often produce volume without the right level or sector fit.

Market insight

Mechanical engineering roles in pharma and medtech in Ireland often stay open for several months. The limited pool of candidates with relevant experience, combined with long notice periods, stretches hiring cycles. Delays in filling the role impact project timelines and team capacity.

Pre-qualified shortlists reduce the time from brief to first interview and help you focus on candidates who already meet your bar for experience and environment.
