• Run targeted searches for experienced engineering talent: software, electrical, mechanical, structural, and controls engineers, plus CNC programmers and plant leadership
• Screen candidates for skills, culture fit, pay expectations, and availability
• Submit qualified, well-written candidate profiles that get interviews
• Coordinate interviews, collect feedback, and keep candidates engaged through offer and start date

• Hit weekly activity and submittal goals while juggling multiple job orders at once
