Engineering Manager

 

Our client is a growing manufacturer of custom engineered products with a strong backlog, a healthy business outlook, and a leadership team

committed to continuous improvement and long-term growth.

 

They are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a multidisciplinary engineering team while helping strengthen the systems, processes, and coordination required to successfully move engineered-to-order projects from concept through manufacturing execution.

The organization is actively investing in its future and this position offers significant visibility, influence, and opportunity for professional growth.  Ownership recognizes the need to evolve, innovate, and adapt moving forward and is fully supportive of it.

 

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with manufacturing, planning, and leadership teams to improve organizational performance
• Support ERP, BOM, routing, scheduling, and engineering change processes
• Improve the transition of engineering designs into successful manufacturing execution
• Develop scalable processes, standards, and best practices
• Mentor and develop engineering talent
• Support continuous improvement and Lean initiatives across the organization

 

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering highly desirable
• Experience leading engineering teams within manufacturing environments
• Strong background in engineered-to-order, custom manufacturing, industrial equipment, structural products, fabrication, machinery, or related industries
• Experience with ERP systems, manufacturing processes, supply chain, planning, routing, scheduling, or manufacturing engineering
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and business functions
• Lean, Continuous Improvement, or operational excellence experience preferred

 

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Growing organization with strong market demand
• Highly visible leadership position
• Opportunity to influence systems, processes, and organizational performance
• Meaningful interaction with executive leadership
• Stable company with long-term growth plans
• Ability to make a measurable impact rather than becoming another layer of management
• Significant opportunity for increased responsibility and career growth over time

 

This opportunity may be particularly attractive to engineering leaders who enjoy building systems, improving execution, developing people, and helping organizations scale successfully.
