Job description

Director of Engineering

Centrifuge Parts & Repair • A Business Unit of Trucent Inc. • Noblesville, Indiana

──────────────────────────────────────────────

About CPR & Trucent

A business unit of Trucent Inc, a North American leader in fluid separation technology for over 25 years. CPR is a place where engineering quality is the product — this role comes with genuine authority to shape the team, set the technical standard, and build something that matters.


Centrifuge Parts & Repair (CPR) has a long track record of consistent growth, built on technical depth and responsiveness for the food, dairy, and beverage plant operators we serve. CPR is a focused expert in disc stack centrifuge repair, rebuild, and parts supply — 20,000+ parts in stock, factory-trained technicians, and coverage across all major brands including Alfa Laval, GEA Westfalia, Tetra Pak, and Seital.

Location

The Opportunity

A leadership role with real scope — direct and develop a small technical team, own CPR's internal training program, engage hands-on on significant projects, and serve as a senior engineering voice with key plant customers. A great day might include a morning plant visit with a dairy customer on a separation issue, an afternoon on a precision balance or mechanical problem in the shop, and a development conversation with a staff member.

What We're Looking For
  • 20+ years in plant process and rotating equipment engineering — with real time worked inside food, dairy, or beverage production facilities and working knowledge of sanitary plant equipment: separators, pasteurizers, homogenizers, CIP systems
  • Rotary equipment depth: bearing systems, mechanical seals, wear analysis, vibration analysis and diagnostics, high-speed rotating assembly
  • Demonstrated experience leading and developing technical teams — coaching, setting standards, building capability — and designing hands-on technical training programs
  • Controls and instrumentation experience (PLC/HMI) in a process equipment context; ability to engage credibly with plant engineers and operations managers
  • Centrifuge-specific experience is a plus — we fully expect to develop that knowledge in the right person
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field; advanced degree a plus
  • 20+ years of progressive experience in plant process and rotating equipment engineering
  • Significant hands-on experience inside food, dairy, or beverage production facilities
  • Working knowledge of sanitary plant equipment: separators, pasteurizers, homogenizers, and CIP systems
  • Demonstrated track record leading and developing technical teams — coaching, setting standards, and building capability
  • Experience designing and delivering hands-on technical training programs
  • Controls and instrumentation experience (PLC/HMI) in a process equipment context
  • Ability to engage credibly with plant engineers, operations managers, and senior customer stakeholders
Skills & Technical Expertise
  • Rotary equipment depth: bearing systems, mechanical seals, wear analysis, and vibration diagnostics
  • High-speed rotating assembly and precision balancing
  • Root cause analysis and failure investigation on industrial process equipment
  • Technical team leadership: performance management, skills development, and standard-setting
  • Customer-facing engineering consultation and field support
  • Proficiency with engineering documentation, technical writing, and training curriculum development
  • Centrifuge-specific experience (disc stack, decanter, or similar) is a strong plus — we are prepared to develop this knowledge in the right person
