Sourcing skills from outside of defence

As the defence industry rapidly scales up to meet the demands of major upcoming projects, the need for skilled talent is greater than ever. With many roles requiring expertise that extends beyond traditional defence experience, there’s growing value in tapping into adjacent industries with transferable skillsets.

Brunel brings decades of experience delivering specialist talent to energy, infrastructure, resources and heavy industries - sectors with close operational parallels to defence. With deep networks and a strong grasp of major project execution, we help defence employers identify, attract and transition the most relevant professionals from these aligned fields.
