Between efficiency and innovation – why recruiting engineers requires specialists

The Polish industry is undergoing a transformation from the "assembly plant of Europe" to advanced manufacturing centers. Companies are facing challenges of automation, shortening supply chains (Nearshoring), and implementing ESG standards. The recruitment of engineering and production specialists must keep pace with this speed of change.

At Antal Engineering, we understand these realities. We know that a modern Factory Director must be not only an engineer but also a financial strategist and a change leader. We recruit people who can implement Lean methodologies, manage complex investment projects, and build a safety culture.

Building a plant from scratch? Recruitment for greenfield investments.

Antal Engineering & Operations supports investors from the moment the first shovel hits the ground. We provide data on workforce availability in the region, recruit the key start-up team (Plant Manager, HR, Finance), and then help scale operational hiring. Recruiting production and engineering specialists for Greenfield projects is one of our strongest experiences – we have carried out such projects for investors in the Automotive, FMCG, and energy sectors.

Frequently asked questions about recruiting engineers
and production specialists

The recruitment of engineering and production specialists conducted by Antal Engineering & Operations is a multi-stage process designed with the specifics of the industrial sector in mind. We start with a detailed analysis of the position – in production, not only managerial experience matters, but also knowledge of specific technologies (CNC, PLC, SCADA), methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen), and industry standards (IATF 16949, ISO 9001). Next, we initiate direct search, reaching out to passive candidates – experienced Plant Managers, Process Engineers, or Supply Chain Directors who are not actively looking for a job. We verify hard skills, project experience, and willingness to relocate. The time from project initiation to the presentation of the first profiles usually takes 5–14 working days, depending on the niche of the position.
