“Staffing decisions should be made by engineers who understand the work — because we’ve done it ourselves.”
— ALAAKOOH CELIS, Founder & CEO
Engineering-Led Staffing
Smith Staffings was founded by a commissioning engineer with 7+ years of field experience working on power systems and mission-critical infrastructure. Having spent years commissioning, testing, troubleshooting, and supporting live critical facilities, we understand firsthand the level of expertise required to perform in these environments.
This engineering background defines how we staff. We evaluate talent beyond resumes and certifications — focusing on real-world experience, technical competency, safety awareness, and the ability to perform under pressure. Our hands-on background allows us to align the right professionals with the right projects, reducing risk and increasing reliability for our clients.
At Smith Staffings, staffing decisions are made by engineers who understand the work — because we’ve done it ourselves.
What Drives Us
Our mission is rooted in our engineering experience and commitment to excellence.
Our mission is to bring engineering judgment to the staffing industry — connecting mission-critical facilities with professionals who are technically vetted, safety-conscious, and ready to perform from day one.
Engineering Judgment
We hire with technical expertise, not keyword matching. Our engineering background means we truly understand the skills required for each role.
Mission-Critical Mindset
We've worked in environments where failure isn't an option. That urgency and precision defines how we approach every placement.
People First
We build lasting relationships with both clients and candidates. Every placement is a partnership, not a transaction.
Relentless Excellence
We don't settle for 'good enough.' Every candidate we present has been thoroughly vetted to meet the highest standards of quality.
