Success Story Engineering: Kontrast fills succession in drinking water & geotechnics - contracts fixed

Municipal company near Munich and medium-sized company in Schleswig-Holstein secure key positions - with clear handover and succession prospects.

As a headhunter for SMEs and the public sector, our team can report two successfully completed engineering recruitment projects. In both cases, the employment contracts have been signed and the induction and handover has begun - including a robust succession plan.

Project 1: Municipal company - senior engineer for drinking water supply recruited

We were able to fill the future head engineer position for a municipal company in the Munich metropolitan region with a focus on drinking water supply. The candidate will initially take on defined responsibilities and will be systematically developed over the next two years in order to securely assume overall responsibility as part of the succession plan.

Engineering candidate pool as a lever for success: "shortlist with substance" instead of random hits

The decisive accelerator in both mandates was our active engineering candidate pool: pre-qualified profiles, documented expertise (e.g. utilities/infrastructure, subsoil/geotechnics) and current motivation to change - combined with discreet direct contact. This results in a viable shortlist that not only fits professionally, but also reflects handover and succession capability. Result: a quick fit, reliable decisions, contracts signed without "risk compromises".

Project 2: Mittelstand Schleswig-Holstein - geotechnical expert recruited, company succession option

In the second project, a geotechnical engineer was recruited for an expert position in civil engineering for a medium-sized engineering company in Schleswig-Holstein. The contracts have been concluded and training is underway. A company succession is also planned: in the medium term, preparations can be made to take over the engineering office as the entrepreneur's successor.

Reliable process management: permanent employment, compliance, structured selection

We only fill permanent positions (no temporary employment) and conduct search and selection processes in compliance with the GDPR and AGG. Especially in the bottleneck market of engineering, our candidate pool, pre-qualification and structured interviews ensure quality - both for public-sector clients and SMEs.
