A free careers service from The Engineering University

The right engineers. The right hazardous-area roles. Introduced properly.

  • Free for engineers - no fees, ever
  • Built by a practitioner with 40+ years in hazardous-area engineering
  • Confidential - your details go nowhere without your say-so

The problem

Good engineers and good employers keep missing each other.

Hazardous-area work is specialised. A generalist agency cannot tell an Ex01-04 returner from a graduate CV, or an intrinsic-safety specialist from a general sparky. So strong engineers get overlooked, and operators struggle to fill safety-critical roles. SEE Recruitment is run by someone who has actually done the work - so the match is made on real understanding, not keywords.

For engineers

Free to join. Free to stay. No fees, ever.

Understood by an engineer

Your experience is read by someone who knows what a COMAH site, an IS loop and an inspection grade actually mean.

Questions answered

Straight answers.

Is it really free for engineers?

Yes - and always will be. Engineers never pay SEE Recruitment a penny to register, be introduced, or be placed. There is no catch and no small print.

Who is SEE Recruitment for?

Instrument, electrical and E&I engineers working in - or moving into - hazardous-area environments. That includes Ex01-04 Gas and Vapours qualified professionals, both new entrants and 5-year returners, plus wider process and industrial engineering roles.

I am not Ex-qualified yet. Can I still register?

Absolutely. Hazardous-area experience is welcome at every stage. If you are working towards Ex01-04, our sister service POSISYS™ at The Engineering University can help you prepare.

How is my data handled?

Confidentially. Your CV and details are not shared with any employer without your explicit say-so on a specific role. See our Privacy Policy for the detail.

Are you a typical recruitment agency?

No. SEE Recruitment is run by a practising engineer, as part of an engineering ecosystem - not a volume agency. Introductions are made on genuine understanding of hazardous-area work.
