A global leader in heavy industry technology was seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer who would be responsible for the technical leadership, planning, development, and hands-on implementation of Lean manufacturing, supply chain concepts and processes at the client’s manufacturing facilities domestically and internationally. To increase the difficulty, this role would start in a rural location and would require heavy travel.
180 Engineering held a detailed intake meeting with senior leadership, including the COO, in order to capture the most essential skills such as continuous improvement expertise with Lean Six Sigma, experience working in metal fabrication manufacturing environment, and change management. Our recruitment team then went off to work searching our talent network, connecting with passive candidates, and following up on referrals until we felt we had the right batch of candidates who possessed the skills needed and excited at the prospect of traveling to be a change agent at different manufacturing sites.
After multiple conversations with only candidates who matched the criteria needed, a recruiter on our team found a manufacturing engineer with the right experince and who was thrilled about the opportunity to lead continuous improvement projects across multiple sites. The candidate readily accepted the offer after several interviews with the client and felt this opportunity was a great advancement for him while our client had finally found the right person to take on an important role within their organization.
