We place the controls engineers, automation integrators, and industrial electrical leaders who design, program, and commission the systems that run modern manufacturing.
Automation is now the difference between a competitive plant and one falling behind — and the people who design, program, and keep it running are some of the hardest manufacturing talent to hire. A great controls engineer can pay for themselves many times over; a bad automation hire can leave a line down and a project stalled.
The challenge is that demand massively outstrips supply. Skilled PLC, robotics, and integration engineers have their pick of employers, and the specifics matter — Allen-Bradley vs Siemens, the integrator's discipline, vision and networking experience. A generic "automation" résumé often doesn't hold up on the floor.
We recruit controls and automation as a technical specialty — sourcing controls engineers, integrators, and industrial electrical leaders with the specific platforms and project experience you run, who can actually commission a system and keep it up. You get people who make automation deliver, not just promise.
From the panel to the plant network, we recruit the engineers who make automation actually run.
PLC, HMI, and SCADA engineers fluent in Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and the major platforms.
Robotics and systems integrators who design, build, and commission automated cells and lines.
Electrical engineers and designers for panel design, power distribution, and machine builds.
Engineers who deploy automation to improve throughput, quality, and labor efficiency.
Controls and automation managers who lead teams, integrators, and capital projects.
Fluent in your actual stack — Allen-Bradley, Siemens, the specific PLC/HMI/SCADA environment — not a generic controls background.
Has taken automated systems from design through start-up and into reliable production.
Understands robotics, vision, and systems integration as a rigorous engineering practice.
Can troubleshoot and sustain automated lines, not just stand up new ones.
Comfortable with industrial networking and the growing overlap of controls and IT.
Controls and automation talent commands a premium given the shortage — controls engineers commonly $85K–$140K, senior and lead roles and automation managers $140K–$180K+. Strong robotics and integration specialists bid up further. We benchmark to your platforms and project load.
Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, and the major PLC, HMI, and SCADA environments. We match candidates to your specific stack rather than a generic 'controls' background.
Yes — robotics, vision systems, and systems integration are core to our automation work, including both integrator-side and end-user roles.
Demand far exceeds supply, so the strong people are employed and have options. Reaching them takes a relationship-driven search, which is exactly what we run.
Controls engineers commonly $85K–$140K; senior, lead, and automation-manager roles $140K–$180K+, with strong robotics and integration specialists higher. We benchmark to your platforms.
Often 30–60 days, longer for niche platform or robotics expertise. We give you a realistic read up front.
Both, depending on how critical and confidential the role is.
Tell us about your platforms, your equipment, and your automation roadmap — we'll bring you controls talent who has built and commissioned the same systems.
