German Engineering Market Looks Set For 2010
The engineering market of Germany is showing signs of improvement, and 2010 should be a growth phase in many of the core markets, including Aerospace, Automotive and Energy. Matchtech GmbH, a leading engineering recruitment consultancy in Germany, is also growing fast, with the recruitment of new Consultants to cope with additional workload as client activity increases.In the Aerospace industry, development of the A400M and composite A350 aircraft at Airbus hubs in both Southern and Northern Germany continues, and our clients in the 1st and 2nd tier supply chain are not only working on these high-profile programmes, but also bidding for involvement in new opportunities. We are currently in need of Design Engineers (particularly with CATIA v5 experience), and Stress Engineers (with NASTRAN, PATRAN, ISSY or ISAMI experience) for long term contracts.
The German Energy sector has aspiring plans in place for the development of brand new renewable energy infrastructure in the next years, and we are picking up opportunities across the board in both renewable and traditional energy in Northern Germany for contract or permanent Engineers in Design, Analysis, Quality and Project Engineering.
In the Automotive market, whilst production levels are still well down on the position of twelve months ago, many of our clients in the supply chain and in the consultancy sector are seeing an upturn in fortunes. We are in need of Calibration Engineers for both engines and transmissions, and Design Engineers with CATIA v5 or PROENGINEER experience to work in engines, interiors, body and plastics development. We also need to hear from Hybrid Engineers for a wide range of interesting permanent and contract opportunities.
