Manufacturing Automation Executive Recruiters

If you lead a plant, an engineering group, or a technology business that builds and runs automated production, you need leaders who can run that work well. Miller Resource Group offers Manufacturing Automation Executive Recruiters who understand both the technical side and the leadership side of that hire. We are based in Naperville, Illinois, and we work closely with employers across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, where food and beverage and industrial technology companies are concentrated.

How we handle searches for automation leadership

Our Manufacturing Automation Executive Recruiters start by learning how your operation actually runs: what is automated today, what you plan to add, and where the next leader needs to take hold. We cover executive search, retained search, and contract staffing for engineering and IT leadership. That means we can match the engagement to the urgency and sensitivity of the role.

We do not hand you a stack of resumes and step back. We evaluate leadership style, technical depth, and fit with your team before anyone reaches your desk. For you, that means fewer conversations with people who look right on paper but miss on the floor.

Running the search from first conversation to offer

Our process begins with a candid intake about the role, your team, and the problem the hire needs to solve. From there we research the market, approach qualified leaders directly, and screen them against what you told us matters. Throughout the search, our Manufacturing Automation Executive Recruiters stay involved through interviews, feedback, and negotiation, so you are not managing the details alone.

Specialties our team brings to automation and controls groups

Manufacturing Automation Executive Recruiters at Miller Resource Group focus on engineering and IT talent in industrial technology and food and beverage. Because the Midwest is where much of this work happens, we know the local talent pool and how companies compete for it. Our reach is national when your needs require it. Representative roles include:

• Executive Leadership: General managers, vice presidents, and heads of engineering

• Operations Leadership: Plant and operations leaders who oversee automated lines

• Engineering and Technical Roles: Automation, controls, robotics, and systems leaders

• Sales and Business Development: Leaders who sell automation and equipment solutions
