Engineering talent specialists — straightforward, honest, and dedicated.
Who We Are
David Blackwell Recruitment was built on a simple belief: engineering businesses deserve a recruiter who actually understands engineering.
We specialise exclusively in engineering talent — from welding and fabrication to CNC, mechanical, electrical, and maintenance. That focus means we know our candidates, we know our clients, and we get it right first time.
Based in Edinburgh with coverage across the UK, we work with engineering companies of all sizes — from growing SMEs to established manufacturers.
What Drives Us
We tell clients and candidates the truth — even when it's not what they want to hear. That honesty is what builds trust.
We move fast without cutting corners. Engineering businesses can't afford to wait — and they don't have to with DBR.
We live and breathe engineering recruitment. We know the trades, the qualifications, and what great really looks like.
