Compressed Air & Gas

It depends on the market, the location, and the skill set. A rotary screw technician in a major metro with Atlas Copco or Ingersoll Rand experience can move through our process in as little as two weeks. Specialized roles like centrifugal compressor technicians or nitrogen generation service engineers take longer because fewer people have the experience. We give you a realistic timeline during the intake call, not a number designed to win the search.

CAGI Performance Verification knowledge matters because it's the basis for every compressor spec sheet in the industry. ISO 8573-1 air quality classes matter for food, pharma, and electronics applications. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 breathing air standards matter for any facility with respirator programs. Beyond formal certifications, hands-on controller experience is what separates candidates: Elektronikon, Intellisys, SIGMA CONTROL, SUPERVISOR, and AirLogic are the platforms hiring managers ask about by name.

Both. We fill territory sales engineers, account managers, inside sales coordinators, and regional sales directors for compressed air OEMs and distributors. Sales roles in compressed air require technical knowledge that generalist recruiters can't screen for. We know what a line card looks like, what "selling the audit" means, and whether a candidate actually understands specific power and lifecycle cost. That's why compressed air companies come to us instead of a generalist.

Yes. Service manager and branch manager searches are some of our most common engagements in compressed air. These roles require a combination of technical knowledge, P&L ownership, team leadership, and customer relationship management that's hard to find on a job board. We screen for all of it, including how they handle warranty callbacks, technician utilization, and service agreement renewals.

That's normal in compressed air. A technician trained on Kaeser screw compressors can work on Sullair or Atlas Copco units. The fundamentals transfer: air ends, oil systems, controls, dryers, filtration. We evaluate transferable skills across OEM lines because that's how the industry actually works. We also know which OEM-specific skills don't transfer cleanly (centrifugal is different from rotary screw, oil-free is different from oil-injected) and we screen for that.
