Project Engineer | Plastics & Injection Molding

The best Project Engineers don't just keep projects moving. They prevent the fires before they ever start.

If you’re the engineer who naturally sees problems coming, asks the questions others miss, and enjoys taking ownership from concept through production, this could be a role worth exploring.

We’re partnering with a well-established manufacturer seeking a Project Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced plastic injection molding environment. This is an opportunity to become the central point between engineering, production, quality, tooling, sales, and customers, helping ensure projects launch on time, meet customer expectations, and remain profitable.

This is a role for someone who enjoys building relationships just as much as solving technical challenges.

You’ll lead engineering projects from start to finish, coordinating multiple teams while keeping quality, timing, and customer satisfaction at the forefront.

• Managing engineering projects from planning through successful completion
• Reviewing product designs for manufacturability and engineering compliance
• Coordinating tooling, mold sampling, part layouts, and customer approvals
• Working closely with manufacturing, quality, sales, and customers throughout each project
• Preparing project reports, cost estimates, and maintaining MRP data
• Evaluating engineering changes, drawings, and design revisions
• Identifying opportunities to reduce costs while improving manufacturability and profitability
• Supporting customer quoting activities alongside the Sales team
• Helping drive continuous improvement while embracing new technologies

We’re interested in engineers who combine technical ability with leadership, communication, and accountability.

• Associate’s degree in Engineering (Bachelor’s preferred)
• 3+ years of plastics manufacturing or plastic injection molding experience, or a relevant Engineering Bachelor’s degree
• Experience with injection molding processes, tooling, and secondary operations
• Knowledge of plastic resins and material properties
• Ability to interpret detailed engineering drawings
• Strong mechanical aptitude and analytical problem solving skills
• Excellent communication skills with both customers and cross‑functional teams
• The ability to anticipate issues before they become problems

• Does what you’re going to do
• Communicates early when priorities change
• Leads without waiting to be asked
• Takes pride in delivering projects the right way, not simply checking the box

You’ll have the opportunity to own meaningful engineering projects, work alongside experienced manufacturing professionals, and make a direct impact on customer success while helping drive continuous improvement throughout the organization.

If you’re looking for a role where your engineering expertise, project leadership, and problem-prevention mindset will be valued, apply now.
