I highly recommend Scantec if you are looking for a new opportunity, or even if you aren't actively looking, please do answer Scantec a message/call - they are a delight!

“I'm really happy that I've send my CV through Scantec. That was pleasure to work with Scantec and I will recommend them 100%”

“Paul was super helpful and very professional in all correspondence regarding my recent employment. He answered all my questions and made the process really easy, I would highly recommend him to any future job seekers.”

“I have found "Scantec" to be the best agency I have yet dealt with either as an employer or a candidate, and I cannot speak too highly of them and their professionalism”

“Scantec were extremely professional during my interview process for a vacancy with clean tech, keeping me regularly updated with the latest news. I wasn't successful with my application however but it was still a good experience & development for me helped by the support given by them”

“Sara are extremely professional whilst also making candidates feel at ease during the process and communicates frequently as openly as possible, nothing is too much trouble for her any time of the day or night! Sara is dedicated to providing her clients with the best candidates knowing which qualities they desire as well as professional credentials to suit their business needs. I am very appreciative of Sara for the part she played in my recent success as a candidate she put forward for a fantastic role with a great company where I am now very happy to be in position. Despite this being a long process Sara provided regular feedback, reassurance and lot of positivity, “Thank you Sara” highly recommended.”

Scantec were fantastic and I have recommended them to my friends who will be looking for jobs in the near future. Scantec get 5 stars from me as was very professional and helpful on a daily basis.

“Scantec have been the best recruitment company I have ever used. Personal, Professional and most importantly Communicative (very frequently), which in past experience has always let other recruitment company’s down. I would recommend them to anyone, either seeking employment or as a partner in finding the right candidates.”

Would highly recommend Sara for anyone either looking for a new opportunity or businesses looking for a recruiter. She is extremely professional in everything she does. Always returns calls and keeps you up to date with any developments. As this is my first venture into the interim world Sara was extremely helpful. She kept me informed about the roles and made sure I had all the information and knowledge I needed to help me gain my first contract.

Scantec has demonstrated an ability to satisfy our requirements for over a decade. The professional and high level of service had impressed me whilst working in various roles throughout the years and when I was promoted to Managing Director of this business, I was confident and had no hesitation in recommending the services of the Executive Search Division to fill a vacancy within our leadership team.

More Than a Job Change: Navigating Transitions with Confidence and Care

After nearly 25 years in recruitment, I’ve spoken with thousands of people navigating the complex and emotional journey of changing jobs.

To give you a flavour of what it’s like to be a recruiter with us, here’s a typical day in the life.

How Changes to UK Company Size Thresholds Impact IR35 and Off-Payroll Working Rules

The UK government has announced significant changes to company size thresholds, which will take effect for financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025. These new thresholds mean that many more businesses will now qualify as small companies, exempting them from certain regulatory requirements—including the off-payroll working (IR35) rules. This is a crucial development for contractors and businesses that rely on temporary workers, particularly in industries such as nuclear, power generation, renewables, and utilities, where contract labour is essential.

With a focus on fostering innovation and attracting investment, this strategy outlines critical growth areas and the essential role that technical and engineering professionals will play in shaping the future of the UK economy.  For professionals in engineering, technical fields, and related disciplines, Invest 2035 presents a wealth of opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge projects, support sustainability goals, and advance their careers in thriving industries. 

The Future of Engineering Recruitment: AI, the Gig Economy & Your Workforce Strategy in 2025

As we step into 2025, the engineering recruitment landscape is undergoing significant change. Driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and the growing gig economy, businesses must adapt their workforce strategies to remain competitive in an evolving market. Rising employment costs and a shift towards AI-driven efficiencies are reshaping hiring practices, while the demand for contract and freelance engineers continues to increase. Understanding these trends will be critical for companies looking to attract and retain top talent in the coming year.

The Exciting Future for Engineering Candidates with Security Clearance

The engineering sector is booming with opportunities for professionals who hold (or are pursuing) security clearance. From highly classified defence initiatives to state-of-the-art technology projects, roles that require clearance offer access to some of the most impactful, innovative, and high value work available in the industry today. If you’ve been considering advancing your career or are looking to make a strategic move, now is the perfect time to take advantage of these exciting prospects. Let’s explore why security clearance matters, how the process works, and why there’s no better time than now to pursue these roles.

Project Controls: Trends Shaping the Market in 2025

As we move into 2025, the project controls market across nuclear, defence, and infrastructure remains fiercely competitive. Companies are in a race to secure niche skills that are critical for success in these highly specialised sectors.
