In a constantly evolving manufacturing environment, finding the right person to efficiently manage plant operations can make all the difference between stagnation and growth. Hiring a plant manager isn’t just about ticking boxes on a résumé. It’s about identifying a leader who understands your production challenges, inspires teams, and optimizes overall performance. At Technogénie, that’s precisely our playing field.

Expertise built on the ground, at the heart of the industrial sector

For over 25 years, Technogénie has been supporting Quebec-based companies—from family-owned SMEs to large national corporations—in recruiting industrial executives. Our team understands the reality of factory life: productivity challenges, labor shortages, automation, regulatory compliance, and managing multidisciplinary teams.

Concrete example: A food processing company located in Montérégie entrusted us with the recruitment of their plant manager during a period of rapid growth. The goal? To find a leader capable of significantly increasing production capacity in under two years, while maintaining the strict quality standards of the agri-food sector. We targeted a candidate with strong experience in lean manufacturing and food processing.

A strategic and customized recruitment methodology.

The result: the objectives were achieved within 18 months, with an engaged team and reduced turnover.

• We don’t offer generic solutions. Every mandate is handled in a personalized manner. Our process includes:
• An in-depth analysis of your challenges (organizational structure, plant environment, production issues, etc.);
• The creation of a strategic job profile focused on the expected outcomes;
• A targeted sourcing strategy that includes headhunting, leveraging our industrial executive network, and direct approaches;
• Interviews, with skill assessments as needed;
• Support during offer negotiation and the integration phase.

Concrete example: An industrial equipment manufacturer tasked us with recruiting a new plant manager to stabilize operations, which had been plagued by delays and internal tensions. We identified a bilingual plant manager with experience leading unionized teams. Within a few months, he implemented clear performance indicators, reduced delivery times, and reestablished healthy communication between the production teams and HR.

A qualified network and a sustainable recruitment vision

Thanks to our specialization in engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and operations, we have access to a large talent pool: plant managers, operations directors, production engineers, and more. Our candidates aren’t just competent on paper—we focus on profiles that have proven themselves in the field.
