Aqua-Tech

Aqua-Tech combines specialist recruitment with an engineering consultancy, and most of its work is in the water and utilities industry. It is headquartered in Edinburgh, trades under AIL Resources Ltd, and runs two other offices, in Bamber Bridge by Preston and in Coatbridge by Glasgow. Candidates are vetted by in-house engineers, and where a vacancy hides a project problem the firm may suggest a technical answer instead of a hire.
