Thorpe strengthens operations leadership

As companies expand into key markets, securing the right leadership becomes critical to sustaining growth and operational excellence. Thorpe Speciality Services recently faced that challenge as it looked to strengthen its Salt Lake City operation with dedicated leadership to support continued performance and regional growth.

Thorpe sought a recruiting partner that could deliver both technical expertise and cultural alignment. That search led them to BIC Recruiting.

The operations manager role required a highly specialized candidate with experience in complex industrial environments, as well as strong leadership capabilities.

“Recruiting for this role presents several challenges, including a limited local talent pool and the need for leaders who understand industrial construction environments and turnaround work, while also demonstrating strong people leadership skills,” Hunt explained.

BIC Recruiting’s approach helped narrow the search and aligned expectations early in the process.

“BIC Recruiting was a true partner throughout the process. They took the time to understand not only the technical requirements of the role, but also the leadership profile and cultural alignment we were looking for,” said Christy Likins, Sr. HR manager. “That upfront alignment allowed us to focus on meaningful conversations and ultimately hire Jared McRae, who has proven to be an excellent fit both operationally and culturally.”
