Peter James & Partners

General information

Peter James & Partners was established in April 1986 by Peter Wills and James Crowfoot. In those early days the business specialised in recruiting CAD/CAM staff primarily for the UK’s major defence contractors, concentrating on recruiting PCB/CAD Design Engineers and Technicians, to fill both hourly paid and permanent staff positions.

Within 12 months PJP had established a solid reputation, and the business expanded into other sectors, especially Architectural and Quantity/Building Surveying. By 1989, the success in these markets led to the business expanding further into civil and structural engineering recruitment for consulting engineering companies, from large multi-discipline international practices to small, specialist consultants.

During the recession in the early 1990’s the CAD/CAM defence recruitment side of the business ceased, and the business has concentrated ever since on engineering recruitment for consultants and Local Authorities.
