About Brunel

Brunel is a people business which specialises in connecting projects and organisations with highly skilled workers through a flexible suite of recruitment and managed workforce solutions. We take great pride in our ability to supply dynamic people solutions which deliver qualified professionals capable of getting the job done, while honouring the values of our clients and the communities they support.

Brunel excels at understanding and delivering the technical, specialised and critical skills required for local or multi-jurisdictional projects to achieve and exceed their targets.

At Brunel, we believe nurturing meaningful long-term client and candidate partnerships is fundamental to achieving success. We are not a transactional, generalist recruitment agency. Rather, we invest in developing an in-depth understanding of the needs of both the people and organisations we service, so that together we might realise our collective potential.

Whether you need to appoint a handful of key personnel, are seeking an entire workforce or engage us on a delivered outcome basis, Brunel will take the time to understand your business, who you are and how you operate so that we can act, not simply as a service provider, but as an effective strategic partner.

In 1975, our company founder Jan Brand made his technical expertise available on a project basis for the first time. His goal was to enable more flexibility and drive technological progress. To this day, this intention remains the foundation of our diverse and sustainable activities.

Over the last 50 years, we have built a truly sustainable and durable business model: connecting specialists to exciting career opportunities, supporting the development of these careers and offering fair and equal employment.

Operating in Australasia since 1997, Brunel has offices in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Port Moresby (PNG). Our local teams have placed tens of thousands of workers throughout Australia over the past two decades and combine their local knowledge and experience with the strength, systems and reach of Brunel’s international network, to deliver outstanding results for our clients.

When you engage Brunel, you benefit not only from the support of our local Australian, New Zealand and Papua New Guinean teams, but also from the strength, reach and continuous improvement of an international network which spans over 45 countries, 120 offices and 50 years of successful operation.

Brunel’s worldwide reach and strength means that we are always prepared for whatever our clients may need. Whether you require a single role, an entire workforce or an innovative way to outsource a critical business function, Brunel is capable and ready to deliver the people, skills and outcomes your business needs.

We embrace a culture of humanocracy. Our people are empowered to take initiative, share ideas and collaborate beyond traditional hierarchies - giving everyone an opportunity to contribute and grow. This approach ensures our teams are agile, accountable and driven to deliver the best outcomes for our clients and candidates.

Brunel is committed to creating a workplace that allow our people to feel they can be their true authentic selves. We take a global and regional approach to Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, following four pillars which form our DIB framework - and have an established set of global targets which are reviewed annually to ensure we achieve our goals.
