What Hiring on the Eastern Seaboard Actually Involves

Recruiting into Chonburi and Rayong is not Bangkok recruiting with a longer commute. Candidates weigh the move against housing, schooling and whether a partner can find work in the area, and a site that cannot answer those questions loses people at offer stage. Shift patterns, how far the plant sits from the estates, and whether the role is staff or contract all change who will take it.

Evantis runs Eastern Seaboard recruitment across the Eastern Economic Corridor with that in mind. We screen for people who will genuinely relocate or commute rather than those who simply like the title, and we tell you at the brief when a package will not move someone out of Bangkok.

Industries We Serve on the Eastern Seaboard

Chonburi and Rayong are Thailand’s industrial heartland, but Evantis recruits across fifteen verticals nationally and places into Eastern Seaboard sites from all of them. Open any industry to see the roles we recruit and how the search is run. If yours is not on the list, send us the job description and we will tell you honestly how we would fill it.

IT & Telecommunications

Software engineering, cloud and infrastructure, data and AI, cyber security, ERP and technology leadership. This is the deepest part of the Evantis network, and the sector where the gap between an advertised role and a mapped search is widest.

See IT and tech recruitment
Banking & Financial Services

Technology and change roles across core banking, payments, data and cyber security, alongside risk, compliance and finance. Regulated change programmes run continuously here and the strongest people are rarely on job boards.

Typical rolesCore banking and payments engineers, data and cyber specialists, risk and compliance officers, product and programme managers

See banking and insurance recruitment
Insurance

Actuarial, underwriting, claims and bancassurance, alongside technology, data and compliance across life and non-life. The Thai market is small and well connected, so discretion matters on almost every senior search.

Typical rolesActuaries, underwriters, claims managers, bancassurance, insurtech and data, compliance and risk

See banking and insurance recruitment
Semiconductor & Electronics

Process, equipment, test and packaging engineering, IC design and verification, quality and reliability, plus SMT, NPI and manufacturing engineering across EMS and ODM sites. The fabs, OSAT plants and electronics sites sit in the Eastern Economic Corridor, Ayutthaya and the North.

See semiconductor recruitment
Energy & Renewables

Typical rolesSolar PV module sales specialists and managers, and power module R&D and process engineering

Manufacturing & Industrial

Production, maintenance, process and industrial engineering, quality and EHS, plus plant and operations leadership. Most of the demand sits in the industrial estates outside Bangkok, where a Bangkok-benchmarked package often reads very differently to candidates.

Typical rolesManufacturing process engineering managers, quality systems managers, manufacturing quality engineers, NPI engineering managers, and service managers

See manpower outsourcing
Automotive & EV

Production, process and quality engineering, tooling and maintenance, supplier quality, plus plant and programme leadership. The move from combustion to EV has pushed demand towards power electronics, battery systems and automation faster than the local pool has kept up.

Typical rolesProcess and quality engineers, maintenance and tooling, supplier quality, battery and power electronics engineers, plant managers

See manpower outsourcing
Logistics & Supply Chain

Warehouse and distribution management, transport and freight forwarding, planning and procurement, plus systems and automation roles. The Eastern Seaboard and the Bangkok ring corridors hire continuously, and candidates weigh commute and shift pattern heavily.

Typical rolesLogistics managers, procurement at manager and assistant manager level, operations planning and control, and supply chain leadership

See manpower outsourcing
Healthcare & Pharmaceutical

Typical rolesRegulatory affairs, QA and GMP, clinical and medical affairs, market access, medical representatives, hospital operations

FMCG & Retail

Manufacturing, quality and supply chain, alongside category management, trade marketing, e-commerce and store operations. Commercial cycles move fast, so speed to shortlist usually decides who gets the candidate.

Typical rolesProduction and QA managers, demand and supply planners, category and trade marketing, e-commerce, area and store managers

Professional Services & Consulting

Advisory, audit and tax, transaction and transformation consulting, alongside legal, HR and finance roles inside firms. Hiring is credential and client-facing, so language ability and presence are screened as hard as technical depth.

Typical rolesAccounting and finance managers, HR and employee relations officers, rewards and benefits specialists, and business analysts and project managers

Chemicals & Petrochemicals

Process, production and reliability engineering, HSE, quality and laboratory, plus commercial and supply chain roles. The cluster sits around Map Ta Phut and Rayong, where site location, shift pattern and safety record weigh as heavily with candidates as salary.

Typical rolesProcess and reliability engineers, HSE managers, lab and QC, production supervisors, supply chain and commercial

Construction & Property

Project and site management, planning and cost control, MEP and structural engineering, plus development, leasing and facilities roles. Hiring follows the project pipeline, so timing a search to a mobilisation date matters more here than in most sectors.

Typical rolesProject sales managers, plus project and site leadership

Aerospace & Aviation

Maintenance and repair engineering, airworthiness and quality, supply chain and procurement, plus ground operations and commercial roles.

Typical rolesMRO engineers, quality and airworthiness inspectors, planners, procurement, station and ground ops managers

Shared Services & BPO

The Evantis advantage for Eastern Seaboard recruitment in Thailand

Eastern Seaboard Recruitment: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what hiring managers in Chonburi and Rayong ask us most often.

Do you actually cover the Eastern Seaboard, or just Bangkok?

The Eastern Seaboard is its own market and Evantis treats it as one. Amata City, the WHA estates, Map Ta Phut and Laem Chabang each have their own pay levels and their own commuting patterns, and a candidate who will move to Rayong is a different person from one who will move to Chonburi. The team is Bangkok based and goes to site.

Will candidates relocate from Bangkok?

Some will, and fewer than employers expect. Housing allowance, transport and whether the role is six days a week decide it more than base salary does. Evantis will tell you how your package reads against the local market before you go out with it, because a Bangkok-benchmarked offer often fails on the Seaboard for reasons that have nothing to do with the money.

How long does it take to get a shortlist?

Three to five working days for the roles that recur on the Seaboard, which is most production, maintenance, quality and supply chain engineering. Plant leadership and specialist process roles take longer, because the pool is small and everyone knows everyone. For senior plant leadership appointments, confidential executive search helps reach candidates who are not actively applying.

Can you hire foreign professionals, and who handles the visa and work permit?

Yes. Evantis has been bringing foreign professionals into Thailand for years. On a permanent placement your company is the employer and holds the visa and work permit, with Evantis advising and coordinating the process. On an outsourced or contract placement Evantis is the employer and handles both directly.

Do you place contract and outsourced headcount as well as permanent staff?

Yes. Shutdowns, turnarounds and new line commissioning create headcount that does not fit a permanent plan. Evantis recruits on permanent, fixed term and contract terms, and can hold the headcount as the employer so it sits outside your own establishment.

What happens if the person we hire leaves?

Permanent placements carry a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the candidate leaves within 90 days, Evantis re-runs the search at no additional fee.

What does it cost, and when do we pay?

No retainer and no upfront cost on permanent recruitment. The fee falls due when the hire is made and starts. Contract and outsourced headcount is quoted as a monthly rate agreed before anyone begins.
