Building Exceptional Teams That Engineer Canada’s Future

Advanced Manufacturing & Automation

We help engineering, automation, and advanced manufacturing leaders hire proven professionals who design, optimize, and deliver innovation at every stage of production and infrastructure.

We Build Teams That Design the Systems Behind Progress

At Kellow Recruiting, we know that Canada’s competitive edge depends on the engineers and innovators who turn ideas into precision-built realities. Whether designing process systems, integrating automation, or leading cross-functional projects, your success relies on technical excellence and collaborative leadership.

That’s why our recruitment process focuses on identifying professionals who combine advanced technical knowledge with problem-solving, innovation, and operational discipline. From R&D and systems design to commissioning and continuous improvement, we help companies build high-performing teams that deliver measurable impact — across manufacturing, utilities, and industrial automation.

We partner with design firms, EPCM groups, manufacturers, robotics integrators, and automation specialists to ensure your team can meet performance targets and stay ahead of evolving technology demands.

Approach

Our Approach

We don’t rely on job boards — we build relationships. Each search begins with a deep dive into your systems, technologies, and production environment to understand your exact needs. From there, we deploy a customized strategy combining direct outreach, technical screening, and verified reference validation.

01

Explore

We start by getting to know you — your goals, your values, and what you’re looking for next. Understanding comes first, because the right match starts with listening.

02

Define

Together, we get clear on what success looks like — the role, the culture, and the fit. Clarity here makes every next step stronger.

03

Engage

We connect great people with great opportunities. Through trusted networks and meaningful conversations, we bring the right matches to the table.

04

Evaluate

We go beyond resumes and job titles — focusing on skill, motivation, and alignment. It’s about finding the fit that lasts.

05

Grow

The journey doesn’t end with a placement. We stay connected, offer guidance, and help both sides build lasting success.
