Manufacturing Executive Search & Recruiting
Manufacturing companies face a unique hiring challenge — finding leaders who can manage complex operations, drive efficiency, and lead frontline teams, all while keeping pace with technological change. At Broadreach, our manufacturing executive search practice is built for exactly that challenge.
We work with manufacturers of all sizes, from family-owned operations to large-scale industrial companies and PE-backed portfolio companies preparing for growth. Our recruiters understand the operational realities of the factory floor as well as the boardroom — and we use that knowledge to find leaders who can thrive in both.
The Roles We Fill
Our manufacturing recruiting practice places senior professionals across operations, engineering, and leadership functions, including:
- VP of Operations and Chief Operating Officer
- Plant Manager and Director of Manufacturing
- VP of Supply Chain and Director of Procurement
- Director of Quality and VP of Quality Assurance
- VP of Engineering and Director of Process Engineering
- EHS Director and Safety leadership
- Director of Continuous Improvement and Lean leadership
Why Our Process Works for Manufacturing Companies
Manufacturing talent is often found through relationships, not job boards. Our team has spent years building networks in the manufacturing space, giving us access to the passive candidates who are performing well in their current roles and not actively looking — but who would consider the right opportunity.
We serve manufacturing clients across New England and nationwide, offering both retained and contingent search depending on urgency and seniority.
Let’s find the operational leader your manufacturing business needs to grow.
