About the practice
Adfactors PR's manufacturing & engineering practice works with industrial conglomerates, engineering companies, infrastructure builders, and advanced manufacturing firms. The sector demands advisors who understand operational complexity, supply chain dynamics, labour relations, and the interplay between industrial reputation and export or regulatory outcomes.

Candidate backgrounds we consider
We welcome candidates from across the following qualified paths:
Public relations / corporate communications with industrial or B2B focus
Management consulting with operations or industrial strategy exposure
Business journalism covering manufacturing, trade, or infrastructure




Corporate affairs or government relations within the sector
