Electrical infrastructure manufacturer scaling manufacturing automation and ERP modernization
Legrand North America manufactures electrical and digital building infrastructure across residential and commercial markets, operating across 9,200+ employees in North and Central America. The tech stack spans CAD design (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor), ERP platforms (Syteline, Infor CloudSuite Industrial, SAP), and operational tools (Salesforce, Monday.com, Asana), with active migration to SAP S/4HANA. Active hiring is engineering-heavy (75 roles), paired with manufacturing and operations focus, while project velocity centers on lean manufacturing, automation cell design, and digital transformation of manufacturing operations—reflecting a push toward both capital efficiency and operational speed.
