Manager, Technical & Engineering at Mps People Solutions

With over 12 years experience in recruiting technical and engineering professionals I am currently working in South Australia recruiting professionals for the Mining and Resources industry. The mining and resources sector here in South Australia is entering into a very exciting phase with numerous opportunities for people with geotechnical and mining skills to establish themselves. Contrary to the wider downturn I am currently seeing renewed interest here in South Australia.
