Charles Cureton
Principal Consultant Industrial Automation @ Alexander Daniels Global
About
If you're a VP of Engineering or Director of Operations at an industrial automation company, you already know the problem. You post the role. You get 40 resumes. Maybe 2 are worth screening. Your HR team can't tell the difference between a Rockwell programmer and a Siemens one. The role stays open for 3 months while your project bleeds. I built my name in the market specifically to fix this. I recruit exclusively in industrial automation - Controls Engineering, PLC/SCADA, OT Cybersecurity, Robotics, MES/IIoT, and adjacent disciplines. I don't recruit for tech companies or financial services or healthcare. Just automation. That single-minded focus means I have the relationships, the technical literacy, and the passive candidate network that generalist recruiters simply don't. Most of the engineers I place are not on job boards. They're not responding to InMail. They're working, building things, and not thinking about their next move until someone they trust brings them the right opportunity. That someone is me. What I do differently: → I understand what your role actually requires - technically - before I source a single candidate → I send 2–3 highly qualified candidates, not 20 résumés and a hope → I advise on salary benchmarks, candidate expectations, and interview process design - not just candidate delivery → I publish the 2026 Industrial Automation Salary Guide - covering Controls, SCADA, OT Security, Robotics, MES and Systems Integration across UK, DACH and USA. Used by 1,000+ professionals. Free to download. → I write the Automation Talent Pulse - a biweekly market intelligence newsletter for industrial automation companies and engineers. If you're trying to fill an automation engineering role or if you're an automation professional thinking about your next move, I'd like to talk.
