Project Engineer

About the Role

As a Project Engineer, you’ll manage all aspects of engineering on a project, from start to finish. When your projects call for it, you’ll lead and mentor other members of our Engineering teams. We’ll appreciate your creative, solutions-oriented approach, your solid technical know-how, your impressive teamwork skills, your proactive collaboration, and the way we can count on you to get things done—and get them done well.

In this role, you will:

• Participate as a member of a project team comprised of Project Management, Buyers, Customer Service, and other cross-functional partners to successfully complete conveyor and material handling projects.
• Own and manage all engineering-related tasks on a project, including maintaining engineering schedules and budgets and tracking engineering change orders.
• Lead conversations and drive results with vendors and other suppliers to review and evaluate system and equipment designs.
• Review customer specifications to ensure requirements are incorporated throughout the design process.
• Provide technical support throughout the engineering process.
• Use AutoCAD and/or other drafting tools to complete system reviews, coordinate with external vendors, and obtain customer approvals.
• Check drawings produced by others for accuracy.
• Validate handshakes and data exchange between multiple automation solutions to ensure successful integration within the overall system design.

Requirements

We’re excited about you because:

• You have a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related area.
• You are proficient in AutoCAD and Navisworks; working knowledge of Inventor or similar tools is a plus.
• You are an expert in standard concepts, practices, and procedures within engineering, particularly in the material handling industry.
• You can apply varying degrees of creativity and latitude to solve problems.
• You are able to evaluate and anticipate project tasks with minimal direction, understanding that delivery is driven by project timelines.
• You have years of experience with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Pallet Shuttle ASRS, and high-speed conveyor systems.
• You have experience in leading, mentoring, or managing other team members.
• You communicate effectively across teams and functions, building alignment and keeping work moving forward.
• You work hard, you work well with others, and you’ve got a positive attitude.

This job description is not exhaustive. Other duties may be assigned as needed, and responsibilities may evolve to support the business and employee experience.
