Recruitment Agency Singapore
A Specialist Recruitment Agency in Singapore
SCG Partners are a licensed recruitment agency based in Singapore, working with engineering, energy, data centre and infrastructure employers hiring here and across the wider ASEAN region.
Specialist, Not Generalist
Most hiring problems in our sectors are not a shortage of applications. They are a shortage of people who have done the specific thing you need, in this region, and who are available and eligible to work here.
That is the problem we work on. Because we operate in a defined set of industries, we already know the projects, the employers and the people moving between them, which means a search starts from knowledge rather than from a keyword.
We are a licensed employment agency in Singapore, licence number 25S2894, with our office on Robinson Road.
Sectors We Recruit For
Energy & Renewables
Solar, wind, battery storage, hydrogen, grid and decarbonisation programmes across development, delivery and operations.
Data Centres
Hyperscale and colocation design, construction, commissioning and critical facilities operations.
Engineering & Infrastructure
EPC contractors, owner's engineers, consultancies and asset owners delivering complex capital projects.
Industrial Technology
Commercial, technical and leadership hires for businesses selling and deploying industrial technology across the region.
Ways We Work With Employers
Permanent Search
Retained and engaged search for roles where the shortlist matters more than the volume of CVs. Used for leadership, scarce technical skills and confidential replacements.
Contract & Project Staffing
Contract and fixed-term professionals for projects with defined delivery windows, including commissioning peaks and construction phases.
Embedded & Project Recruitment
Our team works as an extension of yours across a hiring programme, rather than on a role-by-role basis.
Executive Search
Country Managers, Directors and functional leaders for organisations establishing or scaling an Asia Pacific presence.
How a Search Runs
01
Briefing
We start with the commercial context: the project, the team, the reporting line and what success looks like in the first year.
02
Market Mapping
We map the relevant market across Singapore and the wider ASEAN region, including people who are not actively looking.
03
Shortlist
You receive a considered shortlist with context on motivation, notice periods and work-pass position, not a list of applications.
04
Offer & Onboarding
We manage the offer conversation, resignation risk and the practicalities of relocation or pass applications through to start date.
Questions Hiring Managers Ask
- What kind of recruitment agency are SCG Partners?
- We are a specialist agency rather than a generalist one. We work with employers in engineering, energy transition, data centres, infrastructure and industrial technology, and we recruit into project, commercial, engineering and leadership roles. We are a licensed employment agency in Singapore, licence number 25S2894.
- Do you recruit outside Singapore?
- Yes. Singapore is our base and the head office of many of our clients, but we recruit across ASEAN, including Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, both for locally based roles and for regional roles run out of Singapore.
- How do you charge for recruitment in Singapore?
- Fees depend on the type of engagement, the seniority of the role and whether the hire is permanent or contract. We agree the commercial terms in writing before any search work begins, so there are no surprises later. Please contact us for terms relevant to your requirement.
- How do I hire a Project Manager in Singapore?
- Start by defining the project scope, the delivery stage the person is joining at and whether you need someone with local Singapore experience or regional experience. From there we map the market, approach the people who fit, and check work-pass eligibility early, because that often determines who is realistically available.
- Can you help if we do not yet have an entity in Singapore?
- Yes. We regularly support Western and European businesses establishing a Singapore presence, and we can advise on the hiring sequence alongside our market entry and expansion work.
