Need people on the plant floor?

by | Oct 1, 2026 | Articles

Production targets are still tight, shutdowns still land on the calendar, and good operators, trades and maintenance staff remain hard to hold on to. Our clients in manufacturing are competing for the same people, and the work does not wait for a six-week hire.

If you are responsible for keeping the floor running, this is the time to get ahead of it.

What we are seeing on the plant floor
• Longer lead times to fill trades, maintenance and production roles
• Peaks around shutdowns, changeovers and new lines
• More pressure on safety, quality and uptime
• A need to scale the crew up without locking in headcount you may not need next quarter

How RM Group helps
• We work with manufacturers who need people on site, not just CVs in a pile
• Fitters, electricians, operators, warehouse and maintenance specialists from our skilled pool of candidates
• Flexible on-hire and temp-to-perm so you can test the fit while production keeps moving
• No upfront placement fees — you get people into the plant without a large recruitment cheque first

If you are a hiring manager with manufacturing roles to fill, we’d love to talk solutions. Tell us the site requirements are, the skills needed, and when you need people on the floor.
RM Group supports the companies doing the hiring.
