At Windermere Executive Search & Recruitment, I take pride in helping clients across heavy industry connect with the right people — professionals who not only bring technical expertise but also align with the client’s culture and long-term goals.
Recently, I had the privilege of connecting with one of my best clients, a respected EPCM company serving the heavy industrial sector. The firm needed a Senior Structural Engineer, licensed as a Professional Engineer (PE), with specialized experience in heavy industry. These skills are in short supply and very high demand.
Through a blend of discovery, targeted sourcing, and rigorous screening, I was able to identify the right candidate. Leveraging advanced recruiting software, AI tools, my professional network, and more than 20 years of industry experience, I narrowed the talent pool to a short list. From there, I focused on presenting a candidate who checked all the technical boxes while also aligning with the client’s needs and culture.
The candidate recognized and appreciated the professionalism, process, and industry expertise I brought to the table. He acknowledged the value of my approach — something that means a great deal to me personally. I am passionate about helping others, whether it’s supporting professionals in advancing their careers or helping clients secure the kind of talent that drives their businesses forward.
This successful connection is just one example of how Windermere Executive Search & Recruitment partners with both clients and candidates for win-win outcomes. My firm is eager to create more success stories — and I welcome the chance to have an introductory call with organizations or professionals who want to learn more about our services.
