Mechanical Engineering Recruiters and Executive Search

We are recruiting experts for mechanical engineering

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. Whether you need a Design Engineer to conceptualize new products and components, a Quality Engineer to ensure their safety and performance, or a Director of Engineering with the ability to set strategic goals for your engineering function, our engineering recruiters can deliver talent with the right qualifications for your positions.

I had a wonderful experience working with 180 Engineering, specifically with Dana Straple. The position was a government job in the IT dept. Dana reached out to me to with the job description and mentioned that my experience would be a good fit. She got me an interview with the hiring managers and the decision makers. Each step of the way, she was in constant communication as to what was going on and what the decision makers were thinking. Due to the nature of some/most or at least this specific government position, the hiring process took about 6-8weeks. During that waiting time, Dana was in constant communication with me and ensured that I was going to get hired for the position but the approval process had several steps. Once I received the official offer, she walked me through that process and was still in constant communication even after the HR process, which was also a pleasant experience.I would recommend 180 Engineering since my experience with Dana was a positive one!
Adam was great at every step of the way. Great communication and transparency as well! Would definitely recommend!
TJ and Patrick were amazing walked with me every step of the process, and checked in to see how things were going, always pleasent to talk to and work withThey do your company well
Patrick and team are always very responsive and are great at matching up talent with great companies.
As a new graduate, I am very appreciative of 180 Engineering because they helped me land my first full-time position as an Application Engineer. The recruiter I worked with is TJ Gervino, and he reached out, informing me about a new opening that was quickly expanding. TJ helped me prepare for my interview, and I can honestly say that his suggestions with questions, emails, and mock interview topics made a world of difference compared to my previous experiences that I had alone. This was the calmest I've ever been in an actual interview, and I credit that a lot to TJ. Every step of the way, due to his connection with the company, he was able to give me their positive feedback. Going into each phase of the interviewing process, I felt better knowing I truly made a good impression. The entire process was really smooth and quick. We stayed in contact constantly, and I felt like I had someone truly in my corner pulling for me to succeed.
Best experience I've ever had with a recruiting firm! Adam was very knowledgeable and responsive. They helped me land a position that was exactly what I was looking for.
I had a great experience with 180 engineering team members and Chris Petkus during the whole process of interview scheduling and onboarding.
Working with 180 Engineering was a great experience from start to finish. My recruiter TJ was very knowledgeable and was able to find a great employer to match my skills and experience. The interview prep was solid and I got great insights to help me feel confident before going into my first interview. This organization is very holistic where they demonstrate they care for you as a whole person. After every interview the recruiters make sure the follow up and connect with you to debrief and provide any feedback. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to make a career move to consider partnering up with this organization.
My recruiter, Patrick Brigman, put my wants and needs in a job first. He connected me with a role that would be a good fit, then walked me through the entire process. He helped me not only with interview preparation but also with navigating the mental/emotional struggles that come with getting a new role, or in my case, my first role out of college. He was able to provide me information about the company, and he kept in contact with the company and gave me updates at each step of the way. Overall, this was a very pleasant experience and I felt like I had someone on my team the whole step of the way. I am very happy with the role I now have and am so glad I worked with Patrick at 180 Engineering.
Excellent experience from start to finish. Recruiters were very nice and helped me to prepare for my interviews. They did an excellent job keeping me updated on every step of the process. This is the best experience I've had with a recruiting company by far.
