Because finding the right person requires more than technical qualifications or a familiar job title. For a hydraulics company, there is a significant difference between selling individual components, engineering complete hydraulic systems and supporting customer-specific applications in mechanical engineering.
For example, a sales role focused on mobile machinery calls for a different professional background than designing stationary hydraulic power units. That is why our recruitment process considers the role, product expertise, customer environment and personal fit together. Our recruitment consultancy combines a clearly defined candidate profile with a structured search across the relevant industrial talent market.
Managing Director & Recruitment Consultant
Daniel Hell-Mayer began exploring the topic of entrepreneurship extensively during his university studies. He started his career in 2015 in recruitment consulting for the fluid technology sector. His ambition to found his own company remained strong, leading him and Daniel Schmökel to take the leap into entrepreneurship together in 2018. At munerio, Daniel Hell-Mayer oversees the pumps and valves sector and, as Managing Director, is responsible for operations, finance, IT, and technology.
Recruitment consultant
Daniel Belhaoues supports companies in filling key technical positions in drive technology, automation, sensors and control systems. He focuses on specialists and executives in engineering, sales, product management, quality, project management, supply chain and procurement. With in-depth industry knowledge and a strong professional network, he is a trusted recruitment partner for medium-sized companies and international technology leaders.
Hydraulic power units, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic motors and control blocks are core components of industrial hydraulic systems. Applications range from production machinery and machining equipment to presses and custom-engineered machines.
When recruiting for industrial hydraulics, practical application experience is crucial. Has the candidate designed components, developed complete hydraulic systems or modernised existing installations? Knowledge of hydraulic circuits, pressure supply, motion sequences and system integration helps us assess their technical background accurately.
Mobile hydraulics focuses on the working and travel functions of mobile machinery. Applications include construction, agricultural and forestry machinery, material handling equipment and municipal vehicles. Open- and closed-circuit hydraulic systems, as well as the electronic control of pumps and valves, can require different skill sets.
For these hydraulics roles, we look beyond knowledge of individual components. We also consider the types of machines candidates have worked with, the interaction between hydraulics and mobile electronics, and their experience with machinery manufacturers and their development processes.
Depending on the position, relevant experience may include hydraulic gear pumps, axial piston pumps, radial piston pumps or vane pumps. Hydraulic motors and cylinders, directional control valves, pressure control valves, flow control valves and electrohydraulic valve solutions may also be important.
Understanding how the components work together is essential when assessing a hydraulics specialist: What pressures and flow rates must they handle? What forces, torques and movements must the system generate? And how do pumps, valves and actuators interact within the hydraulic circuit?
Electrohydraulic systems combine hydraulic power with electrical control and regulation. In variable-speed pump drives, for example, electric motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs) and hydraulic pumps operate as one coordinated system.
Für solche Aufgaben können Kenntnisse in Hydraulik, Antriebsauslegung, Sensorintegration, Parametrierung und Inbetriebnahme erforderlich sein. Die Personalsuche sollte deshalb berücksichtigen, ob der Schwerpunkt auf der hydraulischen Konstruktion, der elektrischen Antriebstechnik oder dem Zusammenspiel beider Technologien liegt.
Auch Hydraulikspeicher, Hydraulikfilter, Verbindungstechnik und die Überwachung von Betriebszuständen gehören zum hydraulischen System. Entsprechende Spezialisten beschäftigen sich beispielsweise mit Speichertechnik, Ölzustand, Verschmutzung, Temperatur und der Auswahl passender Komponenten.
For positions in hydraulic service, product management or technical consulting, this expertise can be just as important as experience with pumps, valves and cylinders.
Our hydraulics recruitment services cover technical, sales and management roles. The right candidates depend on whether your company develops hydraulic components, supplies system solutions, manufactures machinery or operates hydraulic equipment.
For technical roles, we consider engineers, development engineers, design engineers and systems engineers, among others.
A hydraulics position may focus on developing individual components, designing a hydraulic power unit or integrating a complete system. Accordingly, requirements differ in terms of calculations, CAD design, technical documentation, understanding of interfaces and project work.
In technical sales, we recruit sales engineers, key account managers and business development managers. Product managers also play an important role at the intersection of hydraulic technology, market requirements and product strategy.
When filling a position, we clarify whether the role involves consultative project sales, supporting machinery manufacturers, technical distribution or developing new applications. This produces a far more precise candidate profile than the job title alone.
Procurement and supply chain management are also key functions for hydraulics manufacturers and system suppliers. Relevant profiles include category managers and supply chain managers.
In our recruitment process, we distinguish between strategic sourcing, category management, supplier development and managing supply chains across multiple companies. For technical purchasing categories, we also assess experience with the relevant components and manufacturing processes.
Hydraulic service requires different expertise from product development. Relevant skills may include commissioning hydraulic systems, systematic fault diagnosis, maintenance, repair and upgrading existing installations.
The candidate profile should therefore establish which systems a service technician has worked on, how independently they can diagnose faults and which tasks they perform on customer sites.
For management and executive positions, we complement our technical assessment with a focus on leadership experience, strategic responsibility and personal fit.
Our Executive Search umfasst unter anderem Sales Directors and Heads of Sales, Heads of Development and Heads of R&D, CTOs, COOs as well as CEOs. Bei Hydraulikunternehmen berücksichtigen wir dabei auch die Ausrichtung auf Komponenten, Systeme, Projektgeschäft oder industrielle Anwendungen.
The requirements for hydraulics specialists also depend on the customers and applications your company serves. Our industry expertise allows us to incorporate this perspective into the recruitment process.
In special-purpose machinery and plant engineering, for example, we examine the interplay between custom machinery concepts, design engineering and project-based business. For companies in automotive and mobility, we consider their specific development, production and customer structures.
An den Schnittstellen zu Automation & I&C as well as Electrical Engineering & Electronics stehen unter anderem Steuerungen, Sensorik und Systemintegration im Fokus. Bei Hydraulikpositionen klären wir, welche dieser angrenzenden Kompetenzen tatsächlich benötigt werden. munerio
Energy and renewable energy, along with process engineering and process technology, are also among our focus industries. In each search for specialists and executives, we consider the type of plant, technical environment and responsibilities of the role.
Our recruitment consultancy focuses on technology-driven companies and industrial candidate markets. This enables us to understand and assess requirements across drive technology, fluid technology, mechanical engineering, automation and electrical engineering.
Our recruitment consultants identify suitable candidates and approach them individually and discreetly.
This allows us to reach specialists and executives who are not actively looking for a new position and would not respond to traditional job advertisements.
We do not simply check whether a job title matches a CV. What matters are the products, applications, target customers, technical interfaces and the actual scope of responsibility.
Experience in related technologies can also be relevant when filling technical roles. In addition to hydraulics, we recruit for electrical drive technology as well as gearboxes and mechanical drive technology.
Other areas of specialisation include pneumatics and compressed air technology, as well as vacuum technology and vacuum pumps. We develop distinct candidate profiles for each area, ensuring that experience with different media, components and applications is not treated as interchangeable.
Ergänzend unterstützen wir Unternehmen in den Technologiefeldern Industriepumpen & Pumpentechnik sowie Industriearmaturen & Ventiltechnik. Welche Branchen- und Produktkenntnisse für Ihre Vakanz passen, besprechen wir anhand der konkreten Aufgabe.
Are you looking to fill a position in development, design engineering, sales, product management or leadership? Tell us about the hydraulics knowledge, experience and personal qualities your business needs.
Start with a clearly defined candidate profile: Which hydraulic products, applications, and responsibilities should the candidate already be familiar with? Distinguish, for example, between mobile hydraulics, stationary hydraulic systems, hydraulic component sales, and system development. A specialised hydraulics recruitment consultancy can use these requirements to develop a targeted search strategy and directly approach qualified candidates.
That depends on the position. Hydraulic engineering and system design may require expertise in hydraulic circuits, pressure, flow rates, pumps, valves, cylinders, and hydraulic drives. Electrohydraulic systems also require knowledge of electrical control systems and their integration with hydraulic components. The key factor is having the technical expertise required for the specific application. hawe.com
