Simon Welch
About Simon
With 3 decades of experience in engineering recruitment, I’ve built a reputation for precision, consistency, and deep sector knowledge—particularly across Aerospace, Defence, and complex engineering domains. My approach is grounded in a clear understanding of technical requirements, programme demands, and the real-world impact of quality hiring.
I specialise in delivery-led recruitment, engaging closely with hiring managers and project teams to ensure aligned, timely, and high-quality candidate submissions. From niche systems and software roles to mechanical/electronic design, quality assurance, Human Factors and many other engineering disciplines from shop floor to c-suite. I build tailored sourcing strategies to match business-critical needs.
Reliable, structured, and delivery-driven, I’m trusted to work autonomously or as part of larger programmes—supporting volume hiring, hard-to-fill roles, or rapid mobilisation. My strength lies in combining sector insight with tenacity, ensuring roles are filled with the right talent, not just quickly—but right the first time.
