Engineering and technical recruitment in Wrexham

YP Recruitment is a specialist engineering and technical recruitment agency placing engineers and technical professionals across Wrexham and North East Wales.

The Wrexham engineering and technical market

Airbus's Broughton facility is one of the largest manufacturing sites in the UK, producing wings for the entire single-aisle family. The plant employs thousands of composite, structures, manufacturing, and quality engineers and sustains a substantial aerospace supply chain across North Wales and the Chester border area. Toyota's Deeside engine plant adds automotive manufacturing demand.

Wrexham's broader manufacturing base includes food processing, packaging, and general engineering businesses. The Wrexham Industrial Estate is one of the largest in Europe. Construction demand is growing as the town develops, with new residential and commercial projects creating demand for site engineers and project managers.

Aerospace engineers at Airbus Broughton earn £38,000 to £52,000 at mid-level. Automotive manufacturing engineers at Toyota achieve £36,000 to £49,000. Manufacturing and production managers command £48,000 to £62,000. Composites technicians and quality engineers earn £33,000 to £46,000.

The cross-border engineering market

Wrexham's engineering market operates seamlessly across the Welsh-English border. Engineers in Wrexham commute to Airbus Broughton, Toyota Deeside, and Chester's manufacturing corridor as readily as they work in Wrexham itself. The Wrexham Industrial Estate, one of the largest in Europe, hosts manufacturing businesses across food, packaging, plastics, and general engineering.

The town's growing profile, including its recent city status and Wrexham AFC's international visibility, is attracting investment and construction activity.
