Founded in 2009, GLOBAL Automation Technologies was built to solve manufacturing problems through automation. We recognized that manufacturers often had to work with one company for robotic systems and another for the engineers needed to support them. GLOBAL brought those capabilities together under one roof. Today, our 110+ team members support customers through automation solutions, services and technical staffing, with experience across North America and projects completed in 22 countries. Our perspective comes from simulation labs, customer sites, and demanding plant-floor environments—not résumé keywords alone. We aim to help manufacturers assemble teams that can contribute to safer launches, dependable production, and meaningful continuous improvement. As automation technology evolves, we continue investing in AI-assisted engineering practices and the people who put them to work.
A manufacturing staffing agency helps employers identify and place people with the skills needed to support production, engineering, maintenance, quality, and automation work. GLOBAL focuses on industrial automation talent, including controls engineers, PLC programmers, robotics technicians, electrical designers, project managers, commissioning engineers, mechanical designers, installation engineers, and robot programmers. Engagements can be structured as contract, contract-to-hire, or permanent direct placement.
