Capital Projects Engineer, Manufacturing Operations

Picture a typical day: you walk the production floor with Operations, hear a Maintenance update on a critical asset, huddle with Quality about a new launch, and finalize vendor schedules for an upcoming line upgrade. By week’s end, you’ve presented a scope, locked a budget, and green-lit an installation plan that improves safety and boosts throughput.

• Own capital equipment and facility improvement projects from planning through implementation.
• Coordinate equipment installations, plant upgrades, infrastructure improvements, and layout optimizations.
• Enable new product introductions, including equipment start-up, commissioning, and validation.
• Develop clear scopes of work, budgets, schedules, and technical specifications.
• Direct contractors, suppliers, and internal teams to execute safely, on time, and on budget.
• Advance safety, quality, productivity, reliability, and overall operational efficiency.
• Provide hands-on technical support and drive root cause investigations for equipment and process issues.
• Champion continuous improvement using Lean Manufacturing methods and structured problem solving.
