Project Engineer, Mechanical Engineer

Project Engineer

We are seeking a Project Engineer to support the planning, execution, and delivery of mechanical and automation-related projects. This role focuses on program and project execution, vendor coordination, equipment integration, and cross-functional delivery rather than technical engineering design.

You will manage multiple small to mid-scale projects, each differing in complexity, schedule, and technical scope. You thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where operational excellence, clear communication, and proactive ownership make the difference.

In this dynamic role, your typical day includes:

• Coordinating project activities with operations teams, onsite contractors, design engineering, and product owners
• Performing schedule reviews, risk assessments, and progress tracking to keep deployments on time and aligned with business objectives
• Facilitating planning, issue-resolution, and change-management meetings with cross-functional stakeholders
• Capturing detailed meeting notes, distributing action items, and maintaining accountability across teams
• Reviewing equipment status, project documentation, and implementation quality to ensure vendor and internal teams meet expectations
• Troubleshooting project challenges, identifying root causes, and proposing practical, data-driven solutions
• Supporting the deployment of mechanical equipment, automation systems, and integrated solutions in data centers

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing the lifecycle of mechanical or automated equipment projects from kickoff through deployment
• Coordinating with internal engineering teams, operations, construction partners, and vendors to execute project deliverables
• Tracking schedules, budgets, risks, and resources; escalating blockers and driving timely mitigation plans
• Maintaining project documentation including meeting notes, action trackers, equipment logs, and status dashboards
• Supporting evaluation and quality assurance of mechanical systems, installation practices, and integrated solutions
• Ensuring alignment between cross-functional teams during project implementations and changes
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of processes, tools, and standards within the organization

Basic qualifications include:

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or another STEM field
• 3+ years of experience as a project engineer, process engineer, project manager, manufacturing engineer, or related occupation
• Experience owning the lifecycle of cross-functional projects, including implementation of integrated systems

Preferred qualifications include:

• Master's degree in Engineering, Mechanical, Operations, Supply Chain, Business Administration, or a related STEM field
• Experience in data center operations, mechanical systems, or cooling technologies
• Experience running SQL queries or performing data mining for project insights
