• Coordinate with third‑party installers, contractors, and vendors to ensure project quality, schedule, and compliance.
• Oversee and track progress across 40+ capital expenditure projects totaling over $20M.
• Collaborate closely with a team of eight facility technicians/maintenance personnel (no direct reports).
• Identify opportunities for facility improvements, safety enhancements, and energy efficiency.
• Ensure all facility systems and projects comply with regulatory and safety standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline required.
• 2+ years of engineering experience within manufacturing, industrial environments, or fabrication settings.
• Strong understanding of facilities systems, maintenance processes, and plant operations.
• Proven ability to manage multiple capital projects in a fast‑paced environment.
• Experience coordinating with contractors, vendors, and internal technical teams.
• Ability to perform load studies, capacity planning, and infrastructure assessments.
• Comfortable working in a hands‑on, dynamic environment with shifting priorities.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills.
