Find Your Next Role

We specialise in finding roles for the best product designers, engineers and manufacturing professionals at all levels of seniority, from recently qualified graduates to executive management and C-suite positions.

We work with an inspiring and diverse range of clients – renowned product design consultancies and dedicated in-house design teams, exciting tech start-ups and award-winning brands developing consumer products, medical devices and connected AI technologies, to name a few.

They have one thing in common – they’re all doing inspirational work which gets them out of bed in the morning. To meet them and find out more about how we help our clients, please get in touch.

The RHL Experience

Our founder, Paul, began his career as a precision toolmaker, spent many years working as an engineer, and then moved into product design. That hands-on experience means we understand what it really takes to build a successful career in engineering and to run an effective manufacturing business. We’ve been on the tools, not just on the phones.

Working In Australia


Australia offers an exceptional lifestyle and strong career opportunities across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth – with Sydney as our primary market. We also know that navigating a complex and ever‑changing visa system can feel daunting, which is why we work closely with trusted specialist visa agents to support you through the process.

Several members of our team have relocated themselves, so we bring first‑hand experience of what it takes to build both a career and a life Down Under. We use that insight to help candidates manage the professional, practical and personal sides of the move.

We help Australian citizens, permanent residents and visa holders to find roles, but we’re equally well placed to support candidates from overseas – we’ve been on that journey ourselves. Our careers with RHL began in the UK, and when we opened our Sydney office in 2018, we haven’t looked back since.

Get in touch to discuss your move and your next career step.
