Pneumatic systems use compressed air to generate and control motion and force within machinery and industrial equipment.
Industrial pneumatics encompasses pneumatic cylinders, rotary actuators, grippers, valves, valve manifolds, pressure regulators, sensors and connection technology.
Pneumatic drives are used in assembly systems, packaging machinery, handling equipment, production lines and custom-built special-purpose machines, for example.
For recruitment, it is therefore important to establish which machines and applications candidates have worked with. A specialist in high-speed automation applications brings different experience from an engineer working with general pneumatic components.
Pneumatic cylinders convert the energy of compressed air into linear motion. Different designs and configurations are used depending on the application.
The product range includes compact cylinders, round-body cylinders, rodless cylinders, guided cylinders and other pneumatic actuators.
Für Entwicklungs- und Konstruktionspositionen können Kenntnisse in Auslegung, Werkstofftechnik, Dichtungstechnik, Führungssystemen, Sensorintegration und Lebensdauer erforderlich sein.
For application engineering and sales roles, the focus is often on component sizing, force requirements, stroke length, speed and integrating pneumatic cylinders into the relevant machinery.
Pneumatic valves regulate compressed air flow and, in turn, the movement of connected actuators.
These components include directional control valves, solenoid valves, pressure control valves, flow control valves, proportional valves and valve manifolds.
Valve manifolds combine multiple valve functions in a single assembly and can be integrated directly into automation architectures.
Relevant specialists may therefore need experience not only in conventional pneumatics but also in electrical actuation, industrial communication, decentralised I/O systems and machine automation.
Hier besteht eine besonders enge Schnittstelle zu unserer Personalberatung für Automation & I&C.
Pneumatic grippers and actuators are used for gripping, positioning, clamping and handling tasks.
In automated machinery, they often operate alongside robots, sensors, control systems and other machine automation components.
For roles in development, application engineering or technical sales, both pneumatic expertise and experience with automation applications may therefore be required.
When defining a candidate profile, we clarify, for example, which workpieces are handled, which motion sequences are required and whether the role focuses on individual components or complete handling systems.
Compressed air must be generated before it can be used. Compressors are therefore a core element of industrial compressed air systems.
The technology includes screw compressors, reciprocating compressors, air receivers and systems for controlling and monitoring compressed air generation.
When recruiting for compressor technology, we distinguish carefully between product development, project engineering, technical sales and service.
A Development Engineer for compressors requires different expertise from an Area Sales Manager for complete compressed air stations or a Service Specialist for compressor installations.
For many industrial applications, generating compressed air is not enough. Depending on the process, it must also be filtered, dried and regulated to the required pressure level.
Compressed air treatment components include air filters, dryers, pressure regulators, filter regulators, condensate drains and air preparation units.
For technical and sales roles, it can therefore be crucial to determine whether candidates know individual components or can design complete compressed air quality and treatment solutions.
In consultative positions, understanding the entire system is often more important than knowledge of any single product.
Compressed air distribution connects compressors to the points of use.
It includes pipework systems, storage vessels, connection technology, pressure regulation and monitoring of relevant operating parameters.
At larger production sites, planning or optimising a compressed air network can be a dedicated engineering task.
Pressure losses, peak demand, leaks and differing pressure levels affect the efficiency and operational reliability of the entire system.
For these roles, we seek specialists with experience in project engineering, planning, commissioning, technical consulting and the optimisation of industrial compressed air installations.
Compressed air is an important energy carrier in many manufacturing companies. At the same time, operating costs can depend heavily on how efficiently generation, treatment and distribution are coordinated.
Relevant areas include demand-based compressor control, pressure level optimisation, leak detection, consumption measurement and continuous compressed air monitoring.
For roles in sales, service, product management or energy consulting, the ability to analyse complete compressed air systems rather than focusing solely on individual components may therefore be essential.
For technical development positions, we recruit Engineering Specialists, Development Engineers, Design Engineers and Systems Engineers, among others.
In pneumatics, these professionals may develop and optimise cylinders, valves, valve manifolds, grippers or complete pneumatic systems.
Depending on the vacancy, we consider experience in mechanical design, fluid dynamics, sealing systems, materials, simulation, testing, sensor integration and technical documentation.
Application Engineers combine product expertise with an understanding of specific customer applications.
In pneumatics, this may involve sizing cylinders and valves, designing pneumatic circuits or integrating components into machinery.
In compressed air technology, responsibilities may include determining compressed air demand, selecting suitable compressors or designing complete compressed air stations.
For these roles, we consider technical expertise alongside customer interaction, project responsibility and industry experience.
Compressors and compressed air stations require regular servicing, maintenance and technical support.
Service Specialists may be responsible for installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, repairs and the optimisation of existing systems.
For these searches, we assess which compressor types and system components candidates know, how independently they diagnose technical issues and what level of travel the role requires.
In technical sales, we recruit Sales Engineers, Key Account Managers and Business Development Managers, among others.
Our recruitment process carefully distinguishes between products, applications and customer structures.
Selling pneumatic components to machinery manufacturers requires different expertise from project sales for complete compressed air stations or selling compressors to industrial end users.
We therefore assess product experience, target industries, sales model, level of technical consultation, regional responsibility and existing customer relationships together.
Product Managers combine technical product expertise with market requirements, sales and corporate strategy.
In pneumatics, their responsibilities may cover cylinders, valves, valve manifolds or gripping technology.
In compressed air technology, they may focus on compressors, filters, dryers or complete system solutions.
For these searches, we consider experience in product strategy, market analysis, portfolio development, pricing and product launches.
Procurement and supply chain functions are also important for manufacturers of pneumatic and compressed air equipment.
Relevant roles include Category Managers and Supply Chain Managers.
Depending on the product portfolio, technical procurement categories may include metal components, castings, plastics, seals, electronics, sensors or purchased parts for compressors. Electronics, Sensorik oder Zukaufteile für Kompressoren umfassen.
We therefore consider technical supplier markets as well as functional procurement and supply chain experience.
For senior management and executive positions, we combine our industry expertise with our Executive Search services. Executive Search.
Dazu gehören beispielsweise Sales Directors and Heads of Sales, Heads of Development and Heads of R&D, CTOs, COOs and CEOs.
When filling these roles, we assess leadership experience alongside the company's product portfolio, market position, business model and customer structure.
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.
Pneumatics and compressed air technology form part of a broader technological landscape. We therefore connect this specialist recruitment service with other areas of expertise.
Electric motors, variable frequency drives, servo drives and electric drive systems.
Industrial gearboxes, geared motors, couplings and other mechanical power transmission components.
Industrial hydraulics, mobile hydraulics, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic valves, cylinders and hydraulic drives.
