Your mechanical engineering recruitment team

The variety of jobs that require mechanical engineering professionals can make it a challenge for employers to recruit the right people for their opportunities. Mechanical engineering is a very broad field. While most mechanical engineers work in manufacturing, research and development, or at companies that offer engineering services, these versatile individuals are often called on to develop automation systems, design products, develop new technology and tools, and otherwise drive innovation across sectors. The qualifications of a mechanical engineering job will vary just as widely depending on the industry, the projects they’ll work on, and the solutions you need them to deliver.

Luckily, 180 Engineering has had success as a recruiting and executive search firm placing a wide range of mechanical engineers and mechanical engineering managers.
