History

Brunel's history begins in 1975, when Jan Brand, a graduate engineer, placed his first fellow engineer in a temporary position. This first placement was made when the company was operating under the name Multec, and it marks the beginning of Brunel's history. The first office was established in Delft, the same city where Jan Brand attended university. In 1978, the business of temporary placement of engineers experienced rapid growth, leading to new company offices, and the Multec flag was soon waving in every Dutch city with a technical university. Over time, the company evolved into a global workforce and project solutions partner operating in more than 45 countries. It has joined forces with Taylor Hopkinson, a trusted recruitment partner to renewable energy leaders.
