When people think about recruitment, they often picture consultants speaking to candidates, visiting clients and filling vacancies.

But behind every successful placement is a team working tirelessly behind the scenes to make it all happen.

They’re the people ensuring contractors are paid accurately and on time. They’re keeping compliance up to date, supporting our consultants, managing finances, maintaining HR processes and making sure every detail is in place before someone even steps onto site.

At Mech Tech, they’re the people who keep everything moving.

They’re the foundation of our business, providing the structure, organisation and support that allows our consultants to focus on what they do best, connecting great people with great opportunities.

More Than Recruitment

Engineering, industrial and environmental recruitment is about much more than finding the right person for the job.

Working across highly regulated industries means every placement must be supported by accurate payroll, robust compliance processes, financial controls and efficient operational systems.

From onboarding contractors and processing timesheets to managing documentation and supporting our clients, every detail matters.

Without a strong operational team, none of it would be possible.

Meet the Team

From financial planning and compliance to business strategy and operational development, Katie’s leadership has been instrumental in Mech Tech’s continued growth over the past decade.

Quite simply, Mech Tech wouldn’t be where it is today without her dedication, knowledge and commitment.

Jade Baker – Payroll & Accounts Manager

For contractors, payday is one of the most important days of the week, and Jade makes sure it happens without fail.

Managing payroll and accounts requires precision, organisation and attention to detail. Jade works closely with contractors, clients and consultants to ensure timesheets are processed, invoices are issued and payments are made accurately and on time.

As HR & Operations Manager, she oversees employee wellbeing, HR processes, compliance and operational standards across the business.

Her work helps create a positive working environment while ensuring Mech Tech continues to operate to the highest professional standards.

The Difference They Make

While our consultants are building relationships with clients and candidates, our back-office team is making sure everything behind the scenes is running exactly as it should.

Because of their work:

• Contractors are paid accurately and on time.
• Compliance standards are maintained.
• Clients receive a seamless, professional service.
• Consultants can focus on delivering the best talent.
• The business continues to grow with confidence.

Their contribution is felt in every placement we make.

More Than a Support Team

We don’t see our back-office team as support staff.

They’re an essential part of Mech Tech’s success.

Their expertise in finance, payroll, HR and operations allows us to deliver the high standards our clients and candidates have come to expect, while giving our consultants the confidence to focus on building lasting relationships.

Every successful recruitment business needs strong foundations.

Ours is built by an incredible team working together every day.
