Complex Engineering Programmes Require More Than a CV Match. Deliver Yours.
TS International places verified, project-ready engineering professionals across the GCC, Europe, Africa, and Asia — from single specialists to full multidisciplinary teams.
MARKET INSIGHT
Engineering recruitment is not a transactional exercise. Placing the wrong candidate on a complex
infrastructure or industrial programme carries technical, commercial, and safety consequences that generic recruiters simply do not understand.
TS International has over 30 years of experience placing engineering professionals across global construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. Established in the UAE for more than 15 years — one of the world's most active construction and infrastructure markets — TSI has built deep engineering candidate networks across every major discipline and region.
Our engineering consultants combine sector depth with hands-on candidate assessment capability, ensuring we deliver professionals who are technically qualified, project-ready, and aligned with the specific demands of each client's environment. We recruit for permanent appointments, contract project teams, and managed service programmes — supporting developers, main contractors, specialist subcontractors, consultancies, and
owner-operators across the built environment, energy, manufacturing, and heavy industry sectors
WHAT WE DELIVER
Thorough qualification and accreditation verification as standard — chartered status, professional memberships, safety tickets, and employment history confirmed
Contract engineering deployment with full mobilisation — visa, work permits, and in-house payroll across multiple jurisdictions
Multidisciplinary team builds for large infrastructure and construction programmes
Coverage from graduate engineer to Engineering Director and Technical Director level
MSP capability for high-volume engineering programme resourcing across complex project environments
Active pipelines in high-demand GCC markets: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman

FAQs
Do you recruit across all engineering disciplines?
Yes. TSI recruits across civil and structural, mechanical, electrical, MEP, geotechnical, environmental, chemical, process, and manufacturing engineering disciplines. We also recruit for programme management ,planning, cost management, and quality and safety functions that sit alongside technical teams on major projects.
Can you supply contract engineers for project-based assignments?
Yes — contract and project-based recruitment is a core delivery model for engineering. TSI maintains active pipelines of contract engineers across all major disciplines for both short-term assignments and long-duration project placements. We manage full contractor mobilisation including visa coordination, work permits, qualification verification, and payroll through our in-house team.
Which regions do you cover for engineering recruitment?
TSI has active campaigns across the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman — major infrastructure and construction markets), Africa (East and West Africa), Europe (UK, Germany, Poland), India, and Southeast Asia. Our offices in these regions provide on-the-ground sourcing capability for both local and international
engineering talent.
Do you recruit for both contractors and consultancies?
Yes. TSI recruits for the full engineering project delivery ecosystem — owner-operators and developers, main contractors and EPC firms, specialist subcontractors, engineering consultancies, and project management consultancies (PMCs). Our consultants understand the distinct requirements for each organisation type.
Can you verify engineering qualifications and professional accreditations?
Yes. TSI's verification process confirms engineering qualifications, chartered status (CEng, PEng, EUR ING), professional memberships (ICE, IMechE, IET, ASCE), trade certifications, safety tickets, and employment history. In regulated environments where unverified qualifications represent a safety and commercial risk,
verification is treated as non-negotiable.
Do you recruit for large infrastructure and construction programmes?
Yes. TSI has specific experience supporting large-scale infrastructure programmes — airports, ports, highways, rail, utilities, and urban development — where multidisciplinary engineering teams must be mobilised quickly and at scale. Our MSP offering provides a structured delivery model for high-volume engineering programme resourcing.
Can you recruit for HSE and safety-critical engineering roles?
Yes. HSE and safety engineering are core specialisms within our practice. We recruit HSE Managers, Process Safety Engineers, Safety Advisors, Emergency Response Planners, and Environmental Engineers for construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, and industrial environments.
Do you recruit for digital engineering and BIM roles?
Yes. Digital engineering is increasingly central to major construction and infrastructure delivery. TSI recruits BIM Coordinators, BIM Managers, Digital Engineering Managers, BIM Technicians (Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks), and Digital Delivery Leads. We understand ISO 19650 standards and CDE management requirements.
Can you make senior engineering leadership appointments?
Yes. Our engineering leadership practice covers Technical Director, Engineering Director, Head of Engineering, Chief Engineer, and VP of Engineering appointments across construction, energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors.
Do you recruit for manufacturing and industrial engineering as well as construction?
Yes. In addition to construction and infrastructure, TSI recruits manufacturing engineers, process engineers, automation and controls engineers, maintenance engineers, and production managers for industrial and manufacturing clients globally, including sector-specific sourcing for automotive, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and heavy industry.
