The Challenge

STAFFING A NATIONWIDE WORKSHOP NETWORK AT SCALE

Iveco Group is one of the world’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers – with approximately 25,000 employees across 11 countries, and around 5,000 sales and service points in over 160 countries.

Across more than 30 workshop locations throughout Germany, Iveco requires a consistent pipeline of highly skilled heavy vehicle mechanics and specialist technicians. These are experienced professionals embedded in the market, rarely visible on job boards, and actively sought by every major commercial vehicle brand in the country.

The Pressure

SCALE, SCARCITY, AND THE
COST OF AN EMPTY BAY

Staffing 30+ workshop locations across Germany is not a single hiring challenge. It is an ongoing, multi-site talent operation. Each location has its own staffing profile, urgency level, and technical requirements – a standard agency cannot operate at this breadth.

In the commercial vehicle workshop sector, vacancies have an immediate operational cost. Open bays mean delayed services, strained teams, and fleet customers left waiting. Urgent requirements must be met with serious speed.

The Reality

NATIONWIDE REACH REQUIRES MORE THAN A RECRUITER

Staffing more than 30 workshops across Germany – consistently, at pace, and to a high standard – requires genuine market depth in the heavy vehicle and bus sector, built over years of active work in the field.

The candidates Iveco needs are typically passive, technically specific, and operating in a market where every other major OEM is competing for the same small pool. Reaching them requires an established network, real sector credibility, and the ability to move decisively when an urgent role appears.

SR2 was recommended by a CEO to a CEO – because the results spoke for themselves.

In over 15 years in the industry, Lutz Albersmeier had never seen a recruiter as well-established or as capable of delivering consistent results.

WHY SR2?

Recommended by a CEO. Trusted across 30+ workshops. The standout partner in the heavy vehicle sector.

Unmatched Sector Reach

Unlike conventional recruiters, SR2 brings deep market specialism and an established industry network – enabling delivery of critical hires with consistency and precision.

04

SR2’s sector depth – the ability to grasp what each workshop actually requires – is what makes our candidate quality consistently high.

THE OUTCOME

Nationwide coverage. Consistent delivery. The go-to partner.

30+ Workshops Supported Nationwide

SR2 operates as the go-to recruitment partner across Iveco’s full German workshop network, delivering skilled mechanical engineers and technicians with speed and consistency.

First Point of Contact for All Hiring

SR2 is not a backup option. We are Iveco’s first call. That level of trust can’t be fast-tracked – it’s built through consistent, reliable delivery over time.

Endorsed at CEO Level

Both testimonials come from CEOs – a rarity in any recruitment context. These endorsements represents the highest possible signal of confidence in SR2’s capability and results.

Looking Ahead

A TRUSTED RECRUITMENT PARTNER

As Iveco Group continues to invest in its European service network and accelerate its transition to electric and alternative-fuel vehicles, the demand for technically skilled workshop professionals across Germany will only grow

With SR2 already embedded as the go-to recruitment partner across 30+ workshop locations – and trusted at CEO level  – the foundation is in place for a partnership that scales with the business. Workshop by workshop. Consistently. At the pace the market demands.
