Maintenance Manager

In 1966, Designeers Midwest began providing technical contract employee support to the electronics and manufacturing industries in the Greater Cincinnati area. We represented job opportunities and recruited for permanent and long-term temporary employees, known as “contract employees”. Over the decades, we have expanded our employment services and territory but our goal has remained the same: to build a strong record of excellent service by partnering with our clients and understanding their needs.

Our knowledge of technical engineering and design sets us apart from other recruiting and staffing agencies and now Designeers Midwest serves clients large and small from coast to coast.

Our contract personnel include Engineers and Designers skilled in Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Electronic, Chemical, Process, and Structural / Architectural disciplines.
