We place the plant leaders, engineers, and quality professionals who run high-volume automotive and vehicle manufacturing on lean systems and just-in-time supply chains.
Automotive runs on a discipline few other industries can match: PPAP-approved, IATF-audited, takt-paced, and unforgiving of variation. The leaders who succeed here think in seconds and parts-per-million, and the EV transition is now layering a whole new set of skills on top of that.
The hiring challenge is twofold. First, true automotive discipline — APQP, PPAP, launch, customer scorecards — is specific and not easily faked. Second, the EV and battery buildout is competing hard for the same experienced people while demanding new competencies. Generalist manufacturing leaders often struggle in this environment.
We recruit automotive across Tier 1, Tier 2, and OEM — sourcing plant leaders, quality professionals, and engineers who've launched programs, recovered scorecards, and run high-volume lines, including the EV and battery talent the industry is racing to secure.
Tier 1, Tier 2, and OEM — we recruit the people who keep high-volume lines running and PPAPs approved.
Plant managers and operations leaders for high-volume, multi-shift automotive production.
SQE, quality engineers, and managers who own APQP, PPAP, and customer scorecards.
Process, tooling, and automation engineers for stamping, molding, welding, and assembly.
TPS- and lean-driven leaders who cut cycle time, scrap, and cost.
Directors and VPs who manage launches, customer relationships, and the operating P&L.
Has owned APQP, PPAP, and customer scorecards — not just worked near them.
Experience taking new programs from PPAP through stable production.
Comfortable in a high-volume, low-variation environment where seconds and defects compound.
Can hold up in front of demanding OEM and Tier 1 customers during a recovery or audit.
For EV and battery roles, genuine exposure to the new processes and quality demands, not just willingness to learn.
Automotive comp is competitive given the discipline required — plant managers commonly $130K–$200K, quality and engineering $85K–$140K, with EV and battery roles bidding up as the buildout accelerates. We benchmark to tier, volume, and region.
Yes — it's one of the fastest-growing parts of our automotive work, and we source leaders with genuine EV and battery process and quality experience, not just transferable backgrounds.
Yes — APQP, PPAP, and customer-scorecard discipline is exactly what we screen for, and we distinguish real automotive quality experience from generic backgrounds.
All three, plus aftermarket and specialty vehicle. We match candidates to the tier and customer set you operate in.
Most close in 30–60 days; EV/battery and senior launch roles can run longer given competition for the talent. We give you a realistic timeline.
Plant managers commonly $130K–$200K, quality and engineering $85K–$140K, with EV/battery at the higher end. We benchmark to tier, volume, and region.
Both, depending on how critical and confidential the role is.
Tell us about the program, the platform, and the plant — we'll deliver automotive leaders who have launched and run the same kind of line.
