Shortly after announcing their alliance with Qatar-based recruitment company, Innovation Recruitment, JSM Appointments is further extending its services to the African region with their new partnership with MECS Africa. Combining local Australian and overseas industry exposure as well as extensive overseas engineering recruitment experience, Engineering recruitment consultants, JSM Appointments, assists companies through every stage of a successful international recruitment campaign.

By partnering with MECS Africa, JSM Appointments is able to not only offer its clients access to a larger pool of talent, but also the benefit of specialist Project Support to Australian companies with Engineering Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) and construction projects in Africa. “With 30 years of project support experience in the mining, engineering, construction and petrochemical sectors of Southern Africa, MECS Africa is the ideal resource to provide logistics tailored for a site environment servicing expatriates, while JSM provides Perth-based clients with a local representative for access to these services,” explains JSM Director, John Masters.

“The capability of MECS Africa’s recruitment originates in our comprehensive database of highly skilled local and foreign nationals,” says Roland Glass, Managing Director of MECS Africa. “Our access to a diversified database of highly skilled labour puts us in a position where we can react effectively and timeously to the demands of manpower management and workforce requirements. As such our alliance with Perth-based engineering recruiters, JSM Appointments, further cements our reputation as a company that is intimately in tune and experienced with labour markets and supporting services.”

MECS Africa’s specialised human resource management services to the mining, engineering, construction and petrochemical sectors predominantly consist of contractual manpower and logistics capabilities.
