Engineering Executive Search Recruiters

Oryx provides engineering executive search for businesses whose competitive advantage rests on technical capability: design and development, R&D, systems and software, test and validation, product management and technical directorships. Our clients include Oxford Instruments, AB Dynamics, Hill & Smith, Coats and Bühler, organisations where an engineering leader is expected to hold credibility with a technical team on one side and a board on the other. That combination is rare, and it is not usually found among people who are actively looking. Our full-time in-house research team maps the specific technologies and disciplines a role demands, whether that is precision instrumentation, control systems, materials science, automation or vehicle testing, and identifies the individuals delivering that work now. We cover electronics and embedded systems, mechanical and mechatronic design, simulation and analysis, materials and process engineering, and the regulatory approval and certification work that determines whether a product reaches its market at all.

We fill a variety of roles across the engineering search sector

  • Managing Director
  • Chief Financial Officer
  • Engineering Director
  • Manufacturing Director
  • Operations Director
  • Site Director
  • Commercial Director
  • Technical Director
  • Sales and Marketing Director
  • Supply Chain Director
  • Quality Director
