Overview
A $1.8B+ engineering and technology firm with over 5,000 employees and a 75-year legacy partnered with Kelly Digital Infrastructure (KDI) to hire specialized engineering talent for its manufacturing and modular integration operations. Known for powering mission-critical environments, including data centers, hospitals, and airports, the client needed direct-hire support across design, manufacturing, and electrical construction teams to deliver their plug-and-play modular power systems.
Challenge
To support rapid growth in mission-critical sectors, the client required highly skilled engineering professionals for modular manufacturing operations in Virginia. These roles supported the design and build of advanced power systems for environments where downtime is not an option. The talent challenge was intensified by a hyper-competitive labor market, strict technical criteria, and regional hiring constraints.
Solution
Kelly partnered closely with the client’s Director of Talent Acquisition to align on both near-term hiring needs and longerterm workforce strategy. Despite internal turnover within the client’s recruiting team, Kelly maintained consistency and delivered niche engineering and leadership talent to support Modular Mission-Critical (MMC) builds in Caroline County, VA. This talent enabled the client’s scalable, offsite construction model, reducing reliance on field labor and accelerating deployment timelines.
