This engineering and industrial workforce is the foundation on which regional cities are built. And since 1986 they have been our backbone too.
Born in Newcastle NSW, our DNA is steel and coal. These industries spawned us. Then drove our growth southward to the distribution and light industrial world of the Central Coast. Then to the infrastructure boom of Greater Western Sydney. And most recently, Brisbane.
You won’t find a team more experienced in regional city engineering, supply chain and industrial employment. We call it ESCI.
A phone call away at any hour.
Most sleep when it’s dark. Not our team. They’re anything but ordinary. Local to each of our regions, our after hours consulting team means our 900+ contractor engine keeps humming 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Long-game ESCI wisdom
Owner Directors Chris Cork and John Gallagher are behind every ESCI relationship and people solution. Today. Next year. Five years from now. Together they share 45 years advising employers state-wide from crib room to boardroom.

Especially Melissa. She's so understanding, will help solve any issues you may have within moments, finds you a job that actually suits you and will probably be what you've been looking for and you won't thank her enough!
10/10 couldn't be happier.
Josh Cummins

Kyle and Nat were very professional and were able to secure me a job almost immediately. I cannot speak more highly about their kindness, enthusiasm and willingness to help and provide advice.
Could not recommend them any higher. Leaps and bounds above other recruitment companies on the Coast.
Callum Wilson
Production Worker
Best agency I've interacted with. I highly recommend this agency. They are professional at handling any issue and are very friendly.
If possible, 5 stars rating is not enough for them. Always polite and kind to employees and responsive. Always flexible in finding employment all the time.
