Engineering Recruitment
Australia’s high cost of manufacturing required engineers to achieve more with less capital and resources than their international counterparts.
As a specialist engineering recruitment agency, Six Degrees works closely with organisations in FMCG, Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, Industrial Manufacturing & Services to recruit high-quality engineers across all levels up to executives.
Well-rounded, high-performing engineers are in high demand in Australia, as companies broaden their expectations for engineering professionals beyond core technical competencies. Increasingly, engineering jobs require professionals with a broader business and commercial understanding of their work, the ability to lead teams, and effectively communicate, negotiate, and influence to bring about change.

Contracting FAQs
After confirming the placement, the assignment manager responsible for approving the candidate's timesheets will receive an email to access our user-friendly online payroll and timesheet system called "Astute". Within this system, the candidate will complete their weekly timesheets for your approval.
If you're using Astute to approve timesheets, these articles from the Astute Help Centre might be helpful.
