Overview

Experiencing rapid growth over the course of a few years, a specialty engineering firm engaged Raymond Search Group for a MEP Engineer. The nationwide firm is known for their expertise in Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (collectively known as “MEP”) across healthcare and critical infrastructure. After working with multiple search firms without success, our new client turned to Raymond Search Group for our expertise in recruiting MEP Engineering Professionals. As the search progressed, Raymond Search Group presented 5 qualified candidates whom exceeded our client’s original expectations. It was decided to hire the best and brightest and bring on the candidate nearly immediately.

Challenge

These challenges extend across multiple divisions and practice areas. To effectively address these issues, they engaged Raymond Search Group for their next key hire.

The primary challenge was securing a mid-level (5-10 year) MEP Engineer whom would be able to work out of their HQ. Without this critical hire, key projects would have to be put on hold.

Due to the nature of our clients work, specific experience in the MEP industry was a must-have. We presented the hiring team with a cross section of talent from which they could consider diverse background and skillsets, and consult with Raymond Search Group make an informed decision on the best candidate to hire.
