Roles

MES and manufacturing technology roles we place

From MES Architects to VP Manufacturing IT. Seniority bands, core competencies, and what separates a strong shortlist from a wasted quarter.

Digital Transformation Lead→
The hire that decides whether a manufacturer's Industry 4.0 ambition becomes a delivered programme or another PowerPoint roadmap. Different from an MES Architect (no platform ownership) and different from a Manufacturing IT Director (less line authority, more change leadership). The role most often mis-spec'd in retained briefs.Director
Manufacturing IT Director→
The technology stack owner across one or more production sites. The hire that decides whether a digital manufacturing programme delivers or stalls in committee.Director
MES Project Manager→
The delivery owner who decides whether a multi-million dollar MES programme lands on time, on validation and on operational adoption. Not an Architect (different decision rights). Not a Director (different scope). The single hire that most directly determines whether the go-live happens in Q3 or Q1 next year.Manager
MES Architect→
The technical blueprint owner for any serious MES deployment. The single hire most likely to make or break a multi-year programme.Senior Manager
