President and Founder
Manufacturing Executive Search
Jason Schwarz founded Schwarz Engineering in 2008 to serve manufacturing organizations that require more than traditional recruiting support.
He works directly with executive leadership, human resources, and operational teams to identify and place leaders across operations, engineering, maintenance, supply chain, human resources, and executive roles. His approach is grounded in technical fluency, business judgment, and a disciplined search process designed to protect clients’ reputations and deliver leaders who perform.
Every search is personally led and managed from initial discussion through successful onboarding. Clients partner with Schwarz Engineering for clarity, accountability, and long-term results.
Whether you are facing an immediate leadership need or planning ahead, we welcome a private discussion.
