The Search

Why this hire is hard — and how we get it right

Industrial equipment and machinery manufacturing is engineered-to-order, and that makes it its own discipline. Custom builds, long lead times, complex integration, and aftermarket service create a business that runs nothing like high-volume production — and needs leaders who understand that.

The hiring challenge is finding people who thrive in low-volume, high-complexity work. Engineers who can design custom machines, operations leaders who can deliver complex builds on schedule, and aftermarket and applications professionals who turn equipment into a service relationship are all distinct, and not interchangeable with high-volume manufacturing talent.

We recruit industrial equipment across the lifecycle — sourcing design and controls engineers, operations and assembly leaders, and aftermarket and applications-sales professionals who understand engineered-to-order work. You get people who can design it, build it, and support it.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you understand engineered-to-order, not just volume manufacturing?

Yes — custom machinery and capital equipment is a distinct discipline, and we screen specifically for low-volume, high-complexity experience.

What roles do you recruit here?

Design, electrical, and controls engineers; operations and assembly leaders; and aftermarket, field-service, and applications-sales professionals. We cover the lifecycle.

Do you recruit for aftermarket and field service?

Yes — service and aftermarket are where much of the margin and customer relationship live, and that leadership is core to our equipment work.

What do industrial equipment leaders earn?

Engineers commonly $85K–$140K; operations, engineering, and commercial leadership $130K–$200K+. We benchmark to your products and complexity.

How long does a search take?

Most close in 30–60 days; specialized engineering and senior roles can run longer. We give you a realistic timeline.

Do you work retained or contingent?

Both, depending on how critical and confidential the role is.
