  • Documentation: Prepare comprehensive project status updates, interim reports, and final project documentation.
  • Collaboration & Travel: Partner closely with internal departments, customers, and vendors throughout the project lifecycle. Travel periodically to customer and vendor locations to support project coordination and implementation.
Qualifications & Skills
  • Experience: Proven experience in machine design, mechanical design, or a closely related engineering role (experience with food processing or sanitary equipment is a major plus).
  • Technical Skills: Strong CAD proficiency (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor, or AutoCAD) and a deep understanding of manufacturing tolerances, layouts, and component arrangement.
  • Problem-Solving: Ability to analyze complex technical data and resolve engineering challenges on the fly.
  • Communication: Exceptional collaboration skills to work effectively with shop floor fabricators, cross-functional internal teams, vendors, and clients.
  • Adaptability: Thrives in a fast-paced environment and is comfortable splitting time between the desk and the manufacturing floor.
  • Travel: Willingness to travel periodically as required by project needs.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
  • A dynamic, team-oriented work environment.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and hands-on project ownership.
