Manufacturing Engineer - Weekend (Night Shift)

A snapshot of your day as an integral part of a larger manufacturing team, engaging with the hourly workforce, manufacturing operations, design engineering, and project management to develop and refine processes for steam turbines ranging from a few thousand pounds to over 200 tons. Production cycles through two outage seasons annually, when electrical energy providers service their equipment during low-demand periods. Turbines often arrive with challenging repair needs, requiring your expertise to create tooling and procedures.
