Direct to company websites

For those with an industry background, you may know exactly where you want to apply, take the time to check out a their website to see which jobs they currently have available.  

However, often most of the jobs that are available with a company are only available through external recruiters so dont be discouraged if you dont see the exact job you want to apply for.

LinkedIn

One of the best free tools there is when searching for jobs. Look out for your connections recommending companies or roles, sharing advertisements from their organisations or their network.

One thing to also bear in mind is projects. If you are aware, or it is advertised, that a business are soon to be taking on a project, the likelihood, more often than not, is that they will look to expand.
