Manufacturing Engineer - Process Improvement

Do you enjoy solving real-world manufacturing challenges, collaborating with people on the shop floor, and driving meaningful process improvements? If so, we'd love to hear from you!

We are currently seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to help improve production processes, reduce quality issues, and increase efficiency throughout a custom fabrication and assembly operation. Our client is a growing manufacturer of custom-engineered modular building systems.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys spending time on the manufacturing floor, collaborating directly with production teams, and implementing practical process improvements that increase efficiency, reduce defects, and support continued business growth.

What You'll Do

• Identify and implement improvements to manufacturing processes, workflows, and production methods
• Analyze quality issues and lead root cause investigations
• Develop corrective and preventive actions to improve product quality and reduce rework
• Create and maintain work instructions, manufacturing standards, and process documentation
• Partner closely with production supervisors, operators, and leadership to solve day-to-day manufacturing challenges
• Support Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives
• Evaluate equipment, tooling, and production layouts to improve safety, quality, and productivity
• Track key manufacturing and quality metrics and identify opportunities for improvement
• Help establish scalable processes to support future growth
• Participate in process audits and continuous improvement projects

What We're Looking For

• Experience in Manufacturing Engineering, Process Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a related discipline
• Hands-on experience within a manufacturing environment
• Strong problem-solving and root cause analysis skills
• Experience improving manufacturing processes and production efficiency
• Ability to build relationships with operators and production personnel
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Passion for continuous improvement and operational excellence

Preferred Background

Technical degree preferred (Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Technology, or related field).

Equivalent combinations of manufacturing education and hands-on manufacturing experience will also be considered.

What Success Looks Like:

• Solving real-world manufacturing problems
• Building relationships with production teams
• Standardizing processes and work instructions
• Reducing rework and inefficiencies
• Improving workflow and productivity
• Turning observations into measurable improvements

We are especially interested in candidates from:

• Sheet metal fabrication
• Industrial equipment manufacturing
• Mechanical systems manufacturing
• Custom fabrication environments
• Engineered-to-order products
• Capital equipment manufacturing
• Modular construction or prefabricated building systems
• Low-volume / high-mix manufacturing operations

Why This Opportunity?

This position offers the chance to make a visible impact in a growing operation where engineering ideas quickly become reality. You'll work closely with leadership and production teams to improve quality, increase efficiency, and help build the foundation for future growth.
