Engineers, supply chain and technical talent for manufacturing, automotive and logistics employers from Chonburi to Rayong.
Engineering, manufacturing and technical hires across Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao.
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.

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.
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.

Typical rolesCore banking and payments engineers, data and cyber specialists, risk and compliance officers, product and programme managers
See banking and insurance recruitmentActuarial, 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 rolesSolar PV module sales specialists and managers, and power module R&D and process engineering
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 outsourcingProduction, 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 outsourcingWarehouse 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 outsourcingRegulatory affairs, quality and GMP, clinical and medical affairs, plus sales, market access and hospital operations. Regulated roles turn on specific registrations and therapeutic area experience rather than general sector background.

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

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

Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao hire differently to Bangkok. We know the estates, the commutes and what candidates will actually accept.
Amata, Hemaraj, WHA and the surrounding industrial parks. That network was built on site, not on a job board.
Automotive, petrochemical, electronics and logistics. Technical roles are briefed by people who have hired them before.
A greenfield plant and an established line need different hires. The search is built around which one you are running.
In the high-demand industrial corridor of Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard, covering Chonburi, Rayong, and surrounding provinces, securing top talent is vital for business success. Evantis Talent Solutions is a specialist recruitment agency for the Eastern Seaboard, helping companies hire technical specialists, engineers, and industry leaders across automotive, electronics, petrochemicals, and manufacturing sectors. With our deep local recruitment expertise in Chonburi and Rayong, we deliver candidates who not only meet technical requirements but also fit your company culture. Our tailored approach ensures your business stays competitive in one of Thailand’s most important economic regions.
Straight answers to what hiring managers in Chonburi and Rayong ask us most often.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Permanent placements carry a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the candidate leaves within 90 days, Evantis re-runs the search at no additional fee.
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.
Evantis recruits engineering, production and technical staff across the industrial estates of Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao, with candidates screened for the commute as well as the job.
