ABOUT CHARLIE MUZZLEWHITE

The North East’s engineering and manufacturing sectors are thriving - but finding senior leaders who can truly drive innovation, growth, and resilience has never been tougher.Rising employment costs, global competition, trade pressures, and soaring energy prices are forcing companies to rethink how they attract and retain talent. Even when the right people exist, stretched hiring processes often mean they’re discovered too late.That’s where I come in.I lead Jackson Hogg’s Engineering and Life Science recruitment teams in the North East, specialising in senior and director-level STEM appointments. With over eight years of regional experience, I’ve built one of the strongest networks of engineering leaders in the area. I connect organisations with the best leadership talent that transforms performance, culture, and long-term growth.Before recruitment, I started my career in teaching - and like many, I “fell into” this industry. But what’s kept me here is purpose: seeing first-hand how the right leader can change the direction of a business. As a STEM Ambassador, I’m passionate about helping the North East’s engineering ecosystem grow, innovate, and compete globally.At Jackson Hogg, we’re proud to be a leading specialist recruitment and outsourced people services partner in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Manufacturing (STEM).
