Engineering Manager

A leading manufacturing company is looking for a Technical Manager to lead the maintenance and engineering organization at a large, high-volume manufacturing facility. This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role with significant influence over plant reliability, continuous improvement, capital projects, and technical talent.

What You'll Do

• Lead approximately 30–35 technical employees across Maintenance, Engineering, MRO and Quality


• Drive equipment reliability, troubleshooting, preventive/predictive maintenance and continuous improvement


• Oversee a multi-million-dollar CAPEX program and approximately $500K/month maintenance & repair budget


• Lead capital projects and identify opportunities to improve equipment, processes and plant performance


• Develop and mentor an experienced technical team across a 24/7 manufacturing operation


• Partner closely with Operations and plant leadership to improve safety, productivity, reliability and cost


• Spend significant time on the plant floor — approximately 60% floor / 40% administrative

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of leadership experience in a high-volume, complex manufacturing environment


• Strong industrial maintenance and engineering/technical background


• Proven experience leading maintenance and/or engineering teams


• Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving and continuous improvement skills


• CAPEX and project management experience


• Comfortable working directly with technicians and being hands-on when needed


• Strong communication, leadership and decision-making skills


• Engineering degree strongly preferred


• Experience with plastics, extrusion, blown film, converting, packaging, automotive, food, injection molding or similar manufacturing is a plus


• SAP, CMMS, Lean/Kaizen, A3 or RCA experience is a plus

Why This Opportunity?

• $120K–$150K base salary + 20% bonus


• Relocation assistance available — full relocation support may be provided


• 120 hours vacation to start


• Significant ownership of CAPEX, maintenance spending and plant reliability


• Opportunity to make a measurable impact in a complex, high-volume operation


• Strong long-term career path with potential progression into Plant Management


• Hands-on leadership role with substantial technical and operational visibility

This is an ideal opportunity for a technically strong maintenance/engineering leader who enjoys being on the floor, solving problems alongside their team, and driving meaningful improvements rather than managing from behind a desk.
