Engineering Leader

You’re the go‑to problem solver who everyone around you comes to with their hardest problems. You’ve excelled, delivered, and led in a way that matters, but you know there’s more.

But what if there was an alternative? A place where you can help build an environment where this level of execution is the norm, not an exception. A place where you can deliver impactful projects, develop systems that directly enable a meaningful vision, and build an exceptional team in the process. And where your personal growth accelerates at the same time.

We build precision spring assemblies that live inside some of the world’s most demanding products. We’ve been successfully doing it for over 40 years. We’re not satisfied; our sights are higher. We’re redefining what great looks like for small and mid‑scale manufacturing, both within PJWS and beyond, as we continue to grow into new business, technologies, and application segments through our parent company, Wallbank Industrial.

We’re rebuilding and revitalizing the industrial base that helped build this country and doing it in a way that elevates people and community.

• Manufacturing should be a force for good – focusing on people and performance.
• Great businesses are built by great people – hiring and developing talent.
• Growth and impact come from relentlessly pursuing better systems, coaching, feedback, and real execution.
• Performance is about how results are achieved – leading, learning, and improving along the way.
• For a capable Engineering Leader, the most meaningful impact is in building systems, products, and people that move manufacturing forward.

You’ll own the full system of how engineering operates, including people, processes, and performance. You’ll build capability, drive clarity, and ensure reliable execution across product, process, machine, and manufacturing engineering.
