This team owns the engineering work that keeps our production lines running and takes them to full rate. In this role you will run the programs that move production from where it is today to where it needs to be on throughput, yield, uptime, and cost, working with process, mechanical, electrical, controls, and manufacturing engineers to scope the work, sequence it around production windows, and get it installed, qualified, and handed to operations. You will report status, flag schedule risk early, and build the recovery plan when a program slips. You will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, spend real time on the plant floor, and contribute to the tools and processes that make the wider team faster.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Hours</strong><br>Full-time</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Responsibilities will include:</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own the program plan for production engineering projects, including scope, schedule, budget, resources, and acceptance criteria, keeping it current on milestones, deliverables, and percent complete, and managing scope changes through approval</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Drive throughput, yield, uptime, and cost-per-unit improvement programs from problem definition through qualification and handoff to operations</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Sequence engineering work around production and planned outage windows with operations and maintenance</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Run the commissioning and qualification path for new and modified equipment, including factory and site acceptance testing, safety review, and operational readiness</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Coordinate across process, mechanical, electrical, controls, quality, environment, health and safety, supply chain, and operations to close dependencies and unblock the team</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Track and report program status, key metrics, and dashboards for site and executive review, surfacing risks early and escalating delays with options rather than problems</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Run post-project reviews, roll learnings into the next program, and mentor other program managers on planning, reporting, and risk management</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Desired Qualifications:</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">BS or MS in Engineering, or other evidence of exceptional ability</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">2-6 years of program or project management experience in a manufacturing, process, or heavy industrial environment</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Track record delivering production ramp, capacity expansion, or continuous improvement programs inside an operating plant</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Able to read piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), process flow diagrams, and equipment specifications, and hold a technical conversation with the engineers doing the work</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Experience running commissioning, qualification, or operational readiness for production equipment</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Familiarity with lean and continuous improvement methods including root cause analysis, DMAIC, and Kaizen;
