Industrial executive search across Texas

Nex Executive places permanent mid-to-senior specialists, directors, and VPs in manufacturing, semiconductors, energy, and aerospace and defense.

Our core industrial sectors

We only recruit in four Texas markets: manufacturing, semiconductors, energy, and aerospace and defense. We do not hire for healthcare, consumer tech, or general office roles.

If the seat sits in a plant, a fab, an energy site, or an aerospace program, open that sector below.

Advanced manufacturing

Placing plant managers, operations directors, and vice-presidents across automated production, continuous improvement, and industrial supply chains.

Semiconductors

Delivering fab directors, process integration heads, yield specialists, and equipment engineering leadership for Texas microelectronics facilities.

Energy

Targeted search across oil and gas, midstream, refining, petrochemicals, and power generation for key operational and reliability leaders.

Deep industrial roots, uncompromising search precision

Most search firms run every VP search the same way. We do not.

We work from Houston on permanent roles in plants, fabs, energy sites, and aerospace programs. The brief is throughput, reliability, quality, and whether the person can run the operation — then the shortlist has to match that.

Aerospace & defence

Aerospace and defense recruitment across Texas — DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and the space corridor.

We place permanent manufacturing, quality, program, and supply-chain leaders: mid-to-senior specialists, directors, and VPs. Not a general engineering desk and not a board search.

Dedicated leadership level placements

We concentrate specifically on mid-to-senior specialists, plant directors, and vice-presidents of operations, manufacturing, and supply chain. By avoiding both high-volume entry-level staffing and detached boardroom assignments, we deliver verified operational leaders who directly govern industrial facilities and strategic programmes.
