About Kent Mulberry
The right hire can change everything — for a team, a plant, and an entire manufacturing operation. I work with leaders at small and mid-size manufacturers across the Southeast to help them find the maintenance talent that keeps their operations running: Mechanics, Electricians, Multi-craft Technicians, Maintenance Supervisors, and Maintenance Managers. These roles are harder to fill than most people expect. The technical depth is real, the candidate pool is tight, and a bad hire — or a long vacancy — hits production fast. After more than 12 years working inside manufacturing environments, I founded Highbridge Search Group around a simple belief: Great hiring starts with understanding how work actually gets done. I\'ve spent enough time on plant floors to know what separates a technician who can troubleshoot under pressure from one who looks good on paper. That context shapes how I source, screen, and present candidates. My approach is straightforward: ask the right questions, listen to the people closest to the work, and find talent that fits both the role and the environment it\'s walking into. If you\'re leading maintenance or operations at a manufacturer in the Southeast and struggling to find reliable technical talent, let\'s connect.
