TESS Search Partners recently partnered with REDARC Electronics to successfully appoint Jorge Octavio Concha de Anda as Principal SMT Process Engineer.
This was a highly niche and technical search, requiring deep SMT and PCBA manufacturing expertise, strong process engineering capability, Lean and Six Sigma experience, and the ability to support quality, productivity and continuous improvement across a complex manufacturing environment.
With a limited local talent market for this skill set, TESS Search Partners expanded the search globally to identify candidates with the right technical depth, manufacturing experience and relocation appetite.
International searches come with added complexity. Beyond identifying the right capability, the process also required careful consideration of relocation, long-term fit, family circumstances and the practical challenges involved in moving from Mexico to Adelaide.
Following a targeted global search process, Jorge was successfully appointed and relocated to South Australia to join the REDARC team.
Jorge’s background includes more than 15 years of experience in industrial electronics manufacturing, with expertise across SMT process optimisation, new product introduction, quality control, automation and cross-functional team leadership.
This appointment is a strong example of how a global search strategy can unlock highly specialised talent for roles that are difficult to source locally.
If your business is struggling to identify talent for a highly technical, niche or hard-to-fill role, TESS Search Partners can help you look beyond the obvious market and connect with the right capability.
Well done to Jorge on making the move from Mexico to Adelaide, and thank you to the REDARC team for trusting TESS Search Partners with such a specialised search.
