Senior Process Adoption Lead – Generac

The (Senior) Engineering/PLM Systems Administrator at Generac is instrumental in driving engineering productivity and effectiveness through the ongoing assessment and enhancement of CAD/PLM systems company-wide. This role is dedicated to optimizing CAD/PLM tools to streamline engineering design, analysis, product development, and product maintenance processes. The (Senior) Engineering/PLM Systems Administrator identifies opportunities for improving CAD/PLM systems and processes, develops strategic plans to meet current and future system requirements, manages software upgrades, and provides guidance on necessary computer training.

This position also plays a key role in delivering training on current CAD/PLM systems. This position is responsible for architecting systems, developing systems, mentoring staff, and providing training with respect to various current CAD/PLM systems.

A large‑scale PLM initiative is just getting underway at Generac, a rapidly growing company. We have implemented PTC Windchill and Process Standardization at 3 of the 6 divisions and have a plan to do the same at all divisions over the next several years. At the same time, we will also be expanding product development capabilities to generate enormous efficiency opportunities wherever Generac product is being worked on.

So, this is an exciting opportunity for you to leverage your knowledge to make a very large impact
and to implement PLM on a large global scale at dozens of sites. If you have been a PLM person, this could be your dream job. If you are a PLM expert and love helping other PLM users to get the most
out of their use of the PLM processes, please apply for this role. If you are driven and love making a difference, we could be a great fit for you.
