GRIDLINE INDUSTRIAL RECRUITMENT
SPECIALIST MAINTENANCE ENGINEER RECRUITMENT

Maintenance engineers, screened by people who know the job.

Most agencies match keywords on a CV. We check real fault-finding, PLC and planned-maintenance experience before you ever see a name – so you interview fewer engineers and hire the right one.

WHY GRIDLINE

What you get from us that a general agency won't give you.

Most maintenance managers have had the same experience: ten CVs, two interviews, and an engineer who can't fault-find. We built Gridline to fix that.

OUR SPECIALISM

Engineers who can fix it – electrical or mechanical.

A good multi-skilled engineer keeps your lines running. A poor one costs you downtime. Our screening process is built on hands-on maintenance experience – breakdowns, PPMs and night shifts – so we know the difference.

Every engineer we put forward has been assessed on real fault-finding, not just matched on keywords.

ABOUT GRIDLINE

A specialist agency, not a CV factory.

Gridline Industrial Recruitment does one thing: puts skilled maintenance engineers into manufacturing sites across Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire.

Because we only recruit maintenance and engineering roles, we know the questions that separate a strong engineer from a strong CV – and we ask them before you spend an hour in an interview. Your vacancy stays with one consultant from the first call to the start date, so you never have to explain the role twice.
