Industries

Manufacturing industries we serve

Every manufacturing vertical has its own leadership profile, regulatory landscape, and technology stack. We recruit for all of them.

Aerospace & Defence→
Your candidate had the clearance. Had the platform experience. Then they hit the programme cadence and couldn't keep up. We place leaders who've delivered MES projects inside cleared defence programmes, not people who interview well and stall at the first phase gate.
Automotive / EV Manufacturing→
They'd scaled MES across legacy automotive plants for a decade. Then the gigafactory brief landed and none of it transferred. We place leaders who've delivered MES projects across both legacy OEM lines and gigafactory builds, not people who only know one side.
Energy / Utilities / Oil & Gas→
The candidate had twenty years in process manufacturing. Then they walked onto an offshore platform and realised none of it prepared them for this. We place leaders who've delivered MES projects inside safety-critical continuous-process environments, not people whose experience stops at the factory gate.
Food & Beverage→
Site one went live. Then they tried to roll it out across twelve more plants and everything fell apart. We place leaders who've delivered MES projects across multi-site F&B production, not people whose only go-live was a single pilot plant.
Industrial Manufacturing→
They'd deployed MES at a brand new plant. Then you asked them to retrofit a 30-year-old one and they had nothing. We place leaders who've delivered MES projects inside brownfield industrial plants, not people whose only experience is greenfield.
Pharma & Life Sciences→
One wrong hire. One missed validation window. One quarter gone. We place leaders who've delivered MES projects inside validated pharma sites, not people who interview well and stall at the first audit.
Semiconductor / Electronics→
They understood MES. They understood manufacturing. But they'd never worked in an environment where a single particle could scrap an entire wafer lot. We place leaders who've delivered MES projects inside production fabs, not people whose only fab-floor experience was a pilot line.
