Multi-sector professional recruiter Project Resource will open its first overseas office in Perth, Western Australia, in February 2013.

This will be its fourth office opening in 18 months, with the most recent taking place last week, at Bury St Edmunds – the fifth UK office alongside Reading, London, Birmingham and Manchester.

The company’s joint owner and managing director Derek Scott says: “Our goal is to support the demand for engineering skills in Australia that we are experiencing within our growing UK business.”

Scott will relocate to Perth to run the office for 18 months, after which a manager will be recruited to take over.
