Mechanical Engineering Manager – Responsibilities

The Mechanical Engineering Manager is responsible for providing strategic leadership, technical governance, and selective execution support for the Mechanical Engineering function within FORTNA’s LPS Projects organization. This role focuses on building, scaling, and sustaining mechanical engineering capabilities while ensuring projects are planned and executed with discipline, quality, and realism.

The Mechanical Engineering Manager leads and develops a team of Mechanical Engineering Supervisors, Leads, and Project Engineers, establishing clear standards, career pathways, and accountability. While this role is not intended to be a primary billable project resource, it maintains hands‑on involvement during critical project phases, including bid support, technical risk resolution, design reviews, and complex execution challenges.

Success in this role is measured by engineering readiness, execution consistency, risk mitigation, team development, and alignment between business demand and engineering capacity, while ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, and on budget.

Employees may be required to perform any other job-related duties as requested by their supervisor. It is the policy of FORTNA and its affiliated companies to provide equal employment opportunity (EEO) to all persons regardless of age, color, national origin, physical or mental disability, race, religion, creed, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, genetic information, marital status, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition, status with regard to public assistance, veteran status, citizenship status (if authorized to work in the U.S.), or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law.

In addition, FORTNA will provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities.
