Our Story
With two decades of experience in technical recruitment, I founded ENC Technical Search to offer something the market is missing: a specialist, founder‑led search partner with genuine cross-sector capability. We value integrity, expertise, and collaboration in every partnership.
My career has been built inside STEM-heavy, innovation-driven environments — from advanced manufacturing and life sciences to chemicals, defence, materials, and critical infrastructure. I understand the complexity of these sectors, the regulatory landscapes they operate in, and the calibre of talent required to keep them moving forward.
ENC Technical Search exists to support organisations that are modernising, digitising, and scaling. Whether you’re building automation capability, strengthening operational technology, or expanding engineering leadership, I bring the insight, network, and precision needed to deliver the right people.

Connecting Talent with Innovation
Founder & Director - Andrew Corness
I established ENC Technical Search to meet the growing challenge of transformation across the STEM manufacturing and innovation sector.
Having managed and grown teams and businesses myself, I recognise the opportunity for technology to accelerate and optimise scale.
Now more than ever, businesses need the knowledge and expertise to complement technology — or risk being left behind.
I’ve built ENC as a technical recruitment specialist, backed by leading technology and a network of insight and relationships accumulated over the past 20 years.
