The Wrong Engineering Hire Costs You in Downtime, Yield, and Rework You Won't See Coming.

We recruit engineering talent that can actually move the numbers that matter on a production floor — yield, downtime, quality — not just hold the right degree.
Engineering roles inside a manufacturing company carry direct operational weight — a process engineer or quality engineer isn't just solving problems on paper, they're affecting output today. We recruit process, manufacturing, industrial, and quality engineering talent for Piedmont Triad employers who need someone who can be productive fast, primarily through direct hire.
Challenge

What Is an Open Engineering Seat Actually Costing Your Production Numbers?

An unfilled engineering role doesn't just delay a project. It means yield problems go unsolved longer, downtime keeps recurring without a root cause fix, and quality issues get patched instead of prevented.

  • A rushed engineering hire without hands-on production floor experience can take months longer to become productive than one who's actually worked in a plant.
  • Every month a process or quality issue goes unaddressed compounds into rework, scrap, and customer complaints.
  • Generic technical recruiters can match a degree to a job title; they can't always tell you whether a candidate has actually solved the kind of problem your floor has.

We staff two ways, depending on what the role — and the risk — calls for.
  • Contract-to-Hire: We recruit, screen, and place your candidate on US Enhanced's payroll for the first ~90 days (480 hours). We carry payroll, taxes, and workers' comp while you evaluate fit before making it permanent.
  • Direct Hire: We recruit and screen for permanent, salaried placements that go straight onto your payroll from day one. Built for experienced professionals and key roles where speed and precision matter more than a trial period.

Questions About Engineering Hiring?

FAQs
Do you place engineering roles as direct hire or contract-to-hire?
Most engineering roles go through direct hire, given the experience level and salaried structure typical of these positions.
Can you find engineers with hands-on production floor experience?
Yes — we screen specifically for that, since it often matters more than the specific degree on a resume.
Is engineering a primary focus for US Enhanced right now?
Manufacturing and skilled trades are where we've built the deepest bench today, and engineering recruiting is growing alongside that, with the exact role list still being finalized.
Do you place Quality Engineers here or under Manufacturing & Industrial?
Quality Engineer currently appears on both pages while the role taxonomy is finalized — let us know if you'd like it consolidated to one.
What area do you recruit engineering talent for?
We're based in Greensboro and support employers across the Piedmont Triad — High Point, Winston-Salem, Burlington, Kernersville, Lexington, Asheboro, and surrounding markets.
