Chicago Engineering Recruiters and Executive Search

Your Chicago engineering recruitment team

Sweet home Chicago! 180 Engineering was founded in the Windy City, when founder and CEO Joe Coletta started as an engineering leader for Fortune 500 companies in Chicago. He founded the firm to provide the engineering recruitment services he wished he had as a hiring manager, combining in-depth expertise in engineering with a thorough knowledge of the local job market and what top candidates look for in an employer.

Now, more than 15 years later, 180 Engineering remains headquartered in Chicago and has become the city’s leading engineering recruitment firm. No other search firm can match our talent network. This is why some of the biggest companies in the Chicago area trust us with their most challenging searches across engineering disciplines, from the manufacturing, electrical, and software engineers who develop products to the test and quality engineers who refine them and the field service engineers who install and maintain them for customers. Whatever your talent needs, our engineering recruitment experts can deliver outstanding results.
