I am trying to find some good resources for social engineering
methodologies and such performed as part of pen-test work.

OSSTMM's Section B (Process Security) is a good start, though the version 
currently on-line needs to be expanded a bit:

A very interesting source of social engineering examples is the book "The 
Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security", by Kevin 
Mitnick, William Simon, and Steve Wozniak.

SecurityFocus and PacketStorm also host some articles on this subject:

http://packetstormsecurity.nl/docs/social-engineering/

Finally, for italian speakers:

Hope it helps. Cheers,
