building your IT dream team together

Within smart manufacturing and industrial digitalization, we see a strong demand for:

• OT/IT Integration Specialists
• IoT Architects
• MES Consultants (Manufacturing Execution Systems)
• ERP Consultants (such as SAP or Microsoft Dynamics)
• Data Engineers for production data
• Cybersecurity Specialists with OT knowledge
• IT Managers with experience in production environments
• Automation Engineers with an IT focus

These profiles combine technical depth with process knowledge and are crucial for successful digital transformations in production companies

Yes, this is our core expertise.

Hybrid profiles are scarce but essential within Industry 4.0 projects. We actively source candidates with:

• A background in production automation who have transitioned into IT
• IT professionals with experience in manufacturing environments
• Knowledge of PLC, SCADA, MES, and enterprise IT
• An understanding of shop floor processes as well as cloud/infrastructure

This combination of operational knowledge and digital expertise makes the difference in implementation projects.

Yes. Although the industry is broad, the IT challenges are often similar: digitalization, supply chain optimization, OT security, data integration, and quality control.

We have experience in:

• Food & Pharma
• Automotive
• Chemicals
• Discrete manufacturing
• Process industries
• High-tech production

Our focus on IT profiles within an industrial context ensures that candidates can quickly adapt between subsectors.

Not every IT professional feels at home in an industrial environment. That is why we specifically screen for:

• Motivation to make an impact on physical production processes
• Interest in machine integration and process optimization
• Affinity with OT systems and industrial environments
• Willingness to work on the shop floor

We attract candidates who want to contribute to more efficient production, higher uptime, and less waste — not just software development.

OT security differs fundamentally from traditional IT security. Industrial environments work with:

• Legacy systems
• 24/7 production continuity
• Air-gapped networks
• ICS and SCADA architectures

We explicitly screen for:

• Knowledge of ICS/SCADA security
• Experience with IEC 62443
• Understanding of the Purdue Model
• Risk management within industrial networks

For critical positions, we use technical assessments to objectively validate expertise.

Yes. Successful IT hires in production companies require alignment between:

• IT management
• Operations
• Production teams
• Engineering

We facilitate multi-stakeholder interviews and ensure that candidates are evaluated both technically and operationally. This increases internal buy-in and reduces the risk of a mismatch.

This is a common situation in Industry 4.0 trajectories.

That is why we also offer IT Team Design for production companies .

1. We translate your digital strategy into concrete IT roles
2. We define the required competencies and seniority
3. We design a scalable IT structure
4. Only then do we start with targeted recruitment

This approach significantly increases the success rate of digital transformation projects.

General IT recruiters often lack knowledge of:

• OT architectures
• MES implementations
• Industrial cybersecurity
• Machine integrations
• Production processes

Specialized IT recruitment for the production sector ensures:

• Faster placements
• Fewer mismatches
• Candidates with relevant domain knowledge
• Better support for Industry 4.0 initiatives
