Ross Keyes

I am a Principal Recruitment Consultant based in Sigmar Recruitment’s Galway office, working with our Technical Team. I bring over a decade of professional experience and a passion for connecting great candidates with leading employers. I began my recruitment career in IT before moving into the technical engineering space, working across all regulated environments.

My background includes a B.Eng in Road Transport Technology and Management and a Higher Diploma in Business Management from Limerick Institute of Technology, along with a Certificate in Human Resource Management from the Technological University of the Shannon. This blend of technical knowledge, business insight, and HR expertise helps me understand the needs of both clients and candidates, ensuring the right fit every time.

Specialist Areas:

I specialise in the permanent recruitment of engineering professionals across all regulated environments. This includes roles in design, process, manufacturing, quality, validation, R&D, regulatory affairs, production, manufacturing operations, and technical leadership. My work spans industries such as Medical Devices, Pharma & Biopharma, Automotive, Aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.

I partner with organisations ranging from start-ups to multinationals, tailoring each search to ensure the right technical expertise and cultural fit. My approach is precision-driven and relationship-focused, with a commitment to building long-term success for both clients and candidates through carefully matched, permanent placements.
