THE CLIENT
An Upper Midwest custom machining operation that has been supporting heavy machinery, aerospace, and defense industries for the past 60 years.
THE ROLE
Our client needed a Manufacturing Engineer that had experience with some of the very specialized equipment across their 40,000 square foot operation and the ability to lead a growing team.
THE CHALLENGE
The trifecta of challenges with this search was the specific machinery that needed to be part of the candidate’s experience while combining a natural ability to lead a team AND be a local candidate in this rather remote location.
HOW RHODES WOLFE PARTNERED
The client had been looking and knew this would be a difficult search. During the intake, we covered all the specific machinery experience needed as well as the growth plans for this role. We set out to scour the local area of any/all potential matches while also aggressively advertising the opportunity.
RHODES WOLFE RESULTS
This was not one of those searches that would result in waves of quick submittals. That said, we found 2 great matches and our client has 1 new Manufacturing Engineer as a result!
