About us

Thomas Telford Recruitment provides services to the engineering, construction, and professional services sectors based on a unique proposition of endorsement from two of the UK's major engineering institutions; the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).

Founded in 1984, the business has grown rapidly to become one of the UK's largest and most successful technical recruitment companies supplying permanent and contract staff including chemical engineers, civil engineers, project engineers and mechanical engineers to a wide range of industries and client sectors including building and building structures, infrastructure, civil engineering, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, water, utilities, petrochemicals, food and drink, power generation, renewable energy, risk and safety amongst others.

Our commitment to the highest standards of recruitment practises and corporate governance is reinforced by its provenance: in addition to its endorsements from two leading members of the engineering council, the business is owned by one of Britain's biggest charitable institutions.

Our pursuit of excellence in business process and services informs our full engagement with the Employment Agencies Act, the key legislative framework that has regulated the industry since 2003, and our membership of standard driven industry trade associations such as ARC.
