CHALLENGE

The client was navigating a period of rapid growth, high project demand, and workforce transitions. Meeting production schedules while advancing strategic initiatives required immediate staffing support across multiple functions. Skilled trade positions were going unfilled, creating risk for plant operations, while corporate and IT teams needed additional expertise to support modernization efforts.

Key challenges included:

• Urgent skilled trade gaps in plant operations, threatening production timelines.
• Specialized engineering needs in mechanical design and equipment manufacturing.
