The recruiter who actually understands your science.
Most recruiters read the job title. We read the job.
A process engineer in a pharmaceutical cleanroom is not the same as one in a petrochemical plant. A regulatory affairs manager who handles HSA submissions thinks differently from one managing FDA filings. A sustainability engineer who has driven a net-zero roadmap is not interchangeable with one who has only written ESG reports.
These distinctions matter enormously — and they are exactly the distinctions that most recruitment agencies miss. At Talentreq, our consultants have spent years working in technical sectors. We ask sharper questions, write more accurate briefs, and deliver candidates who fit the role, not just the title.
What we place
Process, Chemical & Mechanical Engineering
From plant-level process engineers to senior operations and manufacturing leaders — across pharmaceutical, specialty chemicals, oil & gas, and advanced manufacturing.
Example roles: Process Engineer, Chemical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Manufacturing Manager, Plant Manager, Operations Director.
Regulatory Affairs & Quality
We understand the difference between a 510(k) submission and a CE Mark technical file. Our network includes regulatory professionals with hands-on experience across HSA, FDA, EMA and ASEAN regulatory frameworks.
Example roles: Regulatory Affairs Specialist / Manager / Director, QA Engineer, QC Analyst, Quality Systems Manager, Validation Engineer, GMP Compliance Lead.
R&D, Life Sciences & Biotechnology
Scientists and researchers who can translate discovery into delivery — from bench-level researchers to Principal Investigators and R&D directors in pharma, biotech, medtech and agrochemicals.
Example roles: Research Scientist, Principal Investigator, R&D Manager, Analytical Chemist, Formulation Scientist, Bioprocess Engineer, CRA / Clinical Research Associate.
Industrial & Production Engineering
Specialists who keep production lines running, efficient, and lean — with experience across semiconductor, electronics, FMCG, and precision manufacturing.
Example roles: Industrial Engineer, Production Engineer, Semiconductor Engineer, Electronics Engineer, Lean / Six Sigma Specialist, Supply Chain Engineer.
Green Tech, Sustainability & EHS
One of the fastest-growing talent shortages in Singapore and Southeast Asia. As organisations accelerate decarbonisation commitments and sustainability reporting requirements tighten, the demand for professionals who can turn policy into practice has surged — and the supply has not kept up.
We place specialists across the full sustainability and environmental function — from site-level EHS managers to corporate sustainability directors building net-zero strategies. Whether your organisation is navigating MAS ESG disclosure requirements, Singapore’s carbon tax obligations, or regional decarbonisation targets, we find the people who understand both the science and the regulatory landscape.
Example roles: EHS Manager / Director, Environmental Engineer, Sustainability Manager, ESG Reporting Specialist, Decarbonisation Consultant, Green Building Specialist (BCA / LEED), Waste & Circular Economy Manager, Carbon Accounting Analyst.
