Reporting directly to the General Manager, this role will be instrumental in driving continuous improvement across our production operations. The Process Engineer will work cross-functionally with Design, Sales, and Production to evaluate and optimize how work flows through the facility from equipment performance to overall process efficiency while championing LEAN practices and data-driven decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain value stream maps (VSMs) of current-state processes to identify waste, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement.
• Evaluate production equipment and machine performance to identify upgrades, adjustments, or maintenance strategies that improve process flow and throughput.
• Collaborate with Design Engineering to ensure manufacturability and process feasibility are considered early in product development.
• Partner with Sales and Scheduling to provide process-related input on capacity, feasibility, and timelines for custom or engineered-to-order switchgear projects.
• Work closely with Production teams to implement process changes, standard work, and layout improvements on the shop floor.
• Establish, track, and report key performance indicators (KPIs) related to production efficiency, quality, throughput, and machine performance.
• Lead and/or support Root Cause Analyses (RCAs) for process deviations, equipment failures, quality issues, or schedule disruptions, and drive implementation of corrective/preventive actions.
• Implement and champion LEAN manufacturing principles and tools (5S, Kaizen, Kanban, etc.) across the facility.
• Identify and lead continuous improvement projects, tracking measurable impact on cost, quality, and delivery.
• Develop justification for process performance and improvement initiatives.
• Support training of production staff on new or improved processes and standard work.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
• Four (4) years of proven experience as a Process Engineer or in a similar continuous improvement role, ideally within electrical equipment, switchgear, or a related manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated experience developing value stream maps and applying LEAN methodologies in a manufacturing setting.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to establish and interpret KPIs to drive decisions
• Experience conducting Root Cause Analysis using structured problem-solving methods (5 Why, Fishbone, 8D, etc.).
• Working knowledge of production equipment, machine performance evaluation, and process flow optimization.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, BOMs, and technical specifications.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across Design, Sales, Production, and Leadership.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with process mapping, CAD, or data visualization tools a plus.
• LEAN Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher) preferred but not required.
