Brewery Industry - Maintenance & Utilities Manager Recruitment Success Story

Our client is a leading multinational manufacturer with long-established operations in Cambodia. As part of a globally recognized group, the company maintains high technical and operational standards across its facilities. To support its production efficiency and ensure continuous improvement, the client needed a Maintenance & Utilities Manager with highly specialized expertise in industrial machinery, utilities systems, and plant operations.

The Challenge

The client, a leading brewery manufacturer, was searching for a Maintenance & Utilities Manager, an exceptionally hard-to-fill role due to the highly technical expertise required. The talent pool for this specialty was already limited within the local market, and the role’s location outside the capital city made it even more challenging to attract qualified professionals. In addition to market constraints, the hiring process faced internal delays on the client side, causing the recruitment timeline to stretch significantly. Despite these obstacles, MyWorld supported the search for over a year, maintaining close involvement and continuously adapting to shifting requirements and circumstances.

Our Approach

MyWorld adopted a strategic, persistent, and relationship-driven approach to deliver the right candidate:

• Expanded the search beyond Cambodia, leveraging our regional network to identify talent in neighbouring countries with the exact technical background required.

• Pre-qualified candidates thoroughly, ensuring each profile aligned with the client’s high standards and operational needs.

• Acted as a strong advocate for the client, influencing and pitching the opportunity to senior engineering professionals who would otherwise be hesitant to relocate.

• Maintained close engagement for over a year, consistently managing expectations, mitigating risks, and keeping both client and shortlisted candidates aligned despite multiple internal delays.

• Provided ongoing guidance, helping navigate challenges related to relocation, compensation, and integration into a non-capital region.

This commitment ensured the search remained active and productive, even during periods of slowed internal progress.

The Result

Despite the difficulty of the vacancy, MyWorld delivered a precise and efficient shortlist:

• 7 candidates submitted in total

• The successful hire was in the very first batch of candidates

• He became the 2nd candidate interviewed and was immediately identified as 1st choice
