The ideal candidate brings strong experience with EU export control regulations, including dual-use assessments, compliance checks and product-related control reviews, combined with solid customs knowledge such as HS classification, import/export flows, and customs data management.
Key Responsibilities Export Control – Operational Focus (approx. 70%)

With more than 80 offices in 45 countries, we are able to provide our clients with the engineering and technical expertise they need, wherever and whenever it is needed. We offer contractors far more than a traditional recruitment service, supporting with everything from securing visas and work permits, to providing market-leading benefits packages and accommodation, ensuring they are safely and compliantly able to support our clients.
