Pump repair, testing, and engineered upgrades for industrial operations
Hydro is a mid-sized pump repair and engineering services firm anchored in Chicago, serving industrial plants with diagnostics, refurbishment, and field support. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward engineering and manufacturing roles (17 of 24 active positions), with a notable shift toward HR infrastructure — they're currently implementing ADP Workforce Now alongside a parallel HR analytics initiative, suggesting internal scaling pain around process documentation and compliance as the company grows beyond its self-described 'family' culture foundation.
Hydro repairs, tests, and upgrades pumping systems for industrial customers, with a stated focus on root-cause analysis and long-term reliability rather than commodity replacement. Service lines span certified pump testing, engineered replacement parts, field service, and on-site installation and troubleshooting. The company operates a manufacturing shop for component refurbishment and custom builds, supported by Epicor ERP and Salesforce for order and customer management. Active projects include major pump overhauls at power plants and ongoing efforts to reduce manufacturing lead times and improve shop floor efficiency. The company is headquartered in Chicago and also maintains hiring activity in France.
Hydro runs Epicor ERP for operations, Salesforce for sales/CRM, Microsoft Office and Teams for productivity, and Visio for technical documentation. They're actively implementing ADP Workforce Now for HR and payroll management.
