Client success stories

Nigel Wright Group has built a strong reputation as a trusted engineering recruitment partner for companies operating across Germany and the wider European market. Our success in this field reflects a deep understanding of the technical, operational, and strategic challenges facing engineering teams today. By collaborating closely with clients and offering tailored support throughout the hiring process, we’ve helped leading organisations identify and secure highly skilled professionals who add long-term value.

Our clients span a diverse range of sectors, from traditional heavy industry and infrastructure to consumer goods, cleantech, and advanced manufacturing. This breadth of sector exposure means we can offer candidates with specific experience in process engineering, project delivery, R&D, technical operations, and more, depending on the client’s needs.

ArcelorMittal

One such client is ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel and mining company. Operating in a complex industrial environment, ArcelorMittal relies on engineering expertise to drive efficiency, sustainability, and innovation across its European sites. Our recruitment support for the business highlights our ability to navigate highly specialised technical fields such as metallurgy and materials science, while also understanding the leadership and process improvement skills required in global production environments.

Draeger

Similarly, Draeger, a manufacturer of medical and safety technology, is another example of our work within advanced, regulated industries. Engineering plays a crucial role in product design, compliance, and operational excellence at Draeger, and our involvement with the company demonstrates our ability to identify professionals who operate at the intersection of quality, innovation, and reliability.

GVG Glasfaser

In the infrastructure space, we’ve supported GVG Glasfaser, a major fibre optics provider, by supplying engineering and project management talent to help deliver large-scale telecommunications rollouts. These projects require engineers with both strategic insight and hands-on implementation experience, especially within Germany’s fast-growing broadband sector.

Holmris B8

Within interior design and construction, Holmris B8 has relied on our expertise to appoint technical professionals capable of overseeing complex commercial fit-out and interior projects. This work calls for engineers who combine a creative mindset with structural and logistical understanding, reflecting our adaptability across the built environment and workspace solutions industries.

Intersnack Group

The Intersnack Group, one of Europe’s largest snack manufacturers, has engaged us to help with capital expenditure-related engineering appointments. Our consultants have sourced candidates with deep manufacturing expertise and the ability to lead cross-functional teams across supply chain, production, and maintenance—skills essential for driving operational efficiency in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) environments.

Leilac

Our cleantech credentials are evidenced by our partnership with Leilac, a company pioneering carbon capture solutions for the cement and lime sectors. Leilac’s work requires engineering talent with niche knowledge of process engineering, emissions control, and sustainable industrial technologies. Our ability to source such rare skill sets has made us a valuable ally in their innovation journey.

Siemens

Another long-standing client is Siemens, one of the most recognised engineering and technology brands globally. Our support for Siemens illustrates our ability to engage with global engineering leadership mandates, particularly in areas where digital transformation, automation, and energy efficiency intersect with industrial manufacturing.
