DrawPoint
Where the best come to the surface.
Mining and engineering specialists across Africa and Australia — certified, vetted, ready for site. We know the difference between a CV and a person who can do the job safely, shift after shift.
The distinction
From mining into recruitment.
We did not come from recruitment into mining — we came from mining into recruitment. When we put a name forward, our own reputation is on it.
Certified & vetted
Right-to-work, competency and blasting certificates, medicals and inductions — verified before you see a name.
Domain-expert led
Consultants who have worked these operations and speak the language of the site, not the agency.
The Africa–Australia corridor
Placed where the work is — across African operations and into Australia, with the paperwork handled.
A short list, not a long one
A handful of names that can do the job — not thirty CVs to wade through.
An open shift bleeds production every day it sits empty.
Sectors
Six disciplines. One standard.
Specialists who have done the job, placed where the job is.
Mining
Underground and open-pit — operators to mine managers, drill and blast to processing.
Engineering & EPCM
Design, project and construction engineers for owners' teams and EPCM contractors.
Civils
The earthworks, structures and infrastructure that carry the operation.
Oil & Gas
Upstream and midstream specialists, onshore and offshore.
Energy & Renewables
The build-out of power — grid, solar, wind and storage.
Maritime Engineering
Ports, dredging and marine infrastructure.
