Description

Are you an engineer who loves seeing the big picture?

Do you excel at taking a custom manufacturing project from an initial sales quote all the way through fabrication and final installation?

  • Connect the Dots: Act as the central hub of communication between Sales, Design, Electrical Engineering, and Manufacturing to keep everyone aligned and moving forward.
  • Manage the Details: Keep a close eye on project budgets, source critical components from external vendors, and ensure all drawings win customer approval before production sparks up.
  • Ensure Excellence: Oversee quality assurance and equipment testing, partner with our Field Service teams to ensure smooth on-site installation, and manage the final project wrap-up.
  • Solve Problems in Real Time: Actively troubleshoot issues as they arise, keeping projects on track and keeping customer satisfaction high.

What We’re Looking For

  • Solid experience managing engineering projects in a fast-paced manufacturing or capital equipment environment.
  • Outstanding communication skills—you can talk strategy with sales, tolerances with design, and timelines with customers.
  • Strong organizational skills with a proven track record of managing budgets, timelines, and technical documentation without breaking a sweat.
