Engineering Leader

You're already a strong engineer. You've solved difficult technical problems, and you've earned increasing responsibility because people trust your judgment.

But you probably also recognize your rate of growth has started to slow. Not because you've reached your potential, but because the environment around you no longer stretches you the way it once did.

In many organizations, engineering leaders become specialists. They inherit one piece of the business and optimize it. But they rarely get the opportunity to understand the entire manufacturing system, build an engineering organization, develop people, shape strategy, influence commercial decisions, and create lasting impact for our customers, our business, and the people who built it with you every day.

That's the opportunity here.

At PJ Wallbank Springs, you'll lead product, process, tooling, equipment, and controls engineering. This means you'll solve messy, complex problems every day with people inside and outside of our business. You'll help establish solid processes and new manufacturing capabilities. You'll coach early-career engineers to help accelerate their growth as next level leaders. And you'll influence strategy while helping determine where the business grows next.

It's an unusually broad role. In a larger company, those responsibilities would likely be shared across multiple departments. But here, you’ll have a chance to connect them and see how the entire business system works, which means we need an unusually capable and driven person.

It also means you'll develop unusually quickly. Our expectation isn't simply that you'll become a better engineering leader.

It's that over the next several years you'll become the kind of engineering and business leader capable of driving organizations forward, creating competitive advantage, and leading meaningful change wherever your career ultimately takes you.

That's why this role exists.

There are plenty of companies that make good products. There are far fewer that intentionally build great organizations.

We believe those two things are connected.

The best products are built by exceptional people. Exceptional people are developed through meaningful work, high standards, strong coaching, and the opportunity to solve difficult problems alongside other capable people.

That's what we're trying to build.

Not just a better engineering department, but a better organization. One where people can flourish and leave more capable than when they arrived. That philosophy shapes how we lead, how we hire, how we coach, and how we make decisions every day.

We believe:

• Manufacturing should be a force for good. Businesses have a responsibility to create environments where people learn, grow, contribute, and build meaningful careers while delivering exceptional results.
• Great businesses are built by developing great people. Hiring exceptional talent matters. Developing that talent matters even more. Our goal isn't simply to build great engineers. It's to help people become exceptional leaders, teammates, and problem solvers.
• Engineering should create competitive advantage. Engineering isn't a support function. It's how better products, better manufacturing systems, better economics, and better businesses are built.
• Leadership is stewardship. Leaders exist to create clarity, remove barriers, coach others, and build systems that continue improving long after they're gone.
• Growth comes from ownership. People develop fastest when they're trusted with meaningful responsibility, challenged to solve difficult problems, held to a high standard, and supported along the way.
• Results matter. How we achieve them matters just as much. We care deeply about performance because performance creates opportunity. But we refuse to separate performance from integrity, humility, continuous learning, and genuine care for the people around us.
• The best leaders are learners. We expect everyone, including our leaders, to remain learners and be curious. But curiosity alone isn't enough. We expect people to apply what they learn, reflect on the results, and always strive for better.
