🔹 Balance solution standardization with high‑value customization

🔹 Partner closely with Sales to support solution selling and technical win strategies

🔹 Support key customer engagements, technical reviews, and executive presentations

🔹 Oversee production scheduling, capacity planning, and on‑time delivery

🔹 Own margins, utilization, and continuous process improvement

🔹 Build, develop, and retain top engineering and technical talent


What We’re Looking For

🎓 Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Industrial or related)

🧭 7–10 years of progressive engineering leadership experience in an industrial B2B environment

👥 Proven experience leading customer‑facing engineering teams

âš™ Strong background in engineered systems, custom fabrication, and technical services

🤝 Demonstrated success partnering with Sales and Operations


Preferred:

  • Master’s degree in Engineering or Business (MBA)
  • Experience in fluid systems, life sciences, semiconductor, or advanced manufacturing
  • Background in distribution, OEM, or engineered solutions business models


The Opportunity

This role is ideal for a leader who wants to build something, influence strategy, and turn engineering expertise into measurable business results.
