Senior Manager, Engineering

Role Overview

• Build and lead a responsive engineering team from order receipt through start-up and commissioning, fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration
• Develop and deploy equipment, component, and design standards grounded in customer expectations and best practices; maintain the technology roadmap and evaluate emerging water-heating and wastewater-treatment technologies to guide product evolution
• Provide continual improvement to current equipment, including water heaters and heat-recovery equipment, as well as wastewater equipment, design standards, manuals, and engineering procedures
• Drive lean/value engineering practices across product lines to optimize cost, performance, and manufacturability
• Implement and oversee initiatives in design-for-manufacturability and design-to-cost to ensure projects meet performance, schedule, and margin targets
• Standardize components and systems wherever possible to streamline design cycles and reduce variability
• Leverage expertise in engineered-to-order (ETO) and make-to-order (MTO) capital equipment manufacturing to lead the development and deployment of scalable engineering processes
• Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, operations, and supply chain to improve throughput and reduce lead times
• Plan and control the engineering budget, capital‑expenditure requests, and resource allocation; monitor project costs versus estimates and act on variances
• Establish business systems, KPIs, and dashboards that expose bottlenecks, drive accountability, and align with company objectives
• Manage, mentor, and develop a high‑performance, cross‑trained engineering organization; handle staffing, reviews, feedback, and career development
• Lead design and risk reviews (DFMEA, HAZOP), manage document control, and ensure compliance with ASME, UL, NFPA, ISO 9001, and internal quality procedures
• Own engineering documentation (P&IDs, 3‑D CAD models, BOMs, manuals); maintain rigorous revision control, release packages to manufacturing/service, and integrate data with ERP/PLM systems
• Manage supplier and external‑engineering interfaces—including specification development, technical reviews, quality verification, and capital‑equipment procurement—to ensure delivered components meet requirements
• Provide technical expertise and cost estimates during bid/proposal phases, collaborating with business‑development teams to align scope and mitigate risk
• Champion lean tools (value‑stream mapping, kaizen, 5S, PDCA) and institutionalize tribal knowledge through formal, revision‑controlled standards

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, or related discipline)
• Minimum five years of progressive engineering experience in capital-equipment design, with at least three years in an engineered-to-order environment
• Strong fundamentals in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and process design; familiarity with combustion and wastewater treatment
• Working knowledge of process equipment instrumentation and controls
• At least two years leading a multidiscipline team of engineers, designers, and drafters
• Experience supporting field service and customer technical support activities
• Track record of implementing lean engineering, product standardization, and cost-reduction initiatives
• Demonstrated experience establishing engineering metrics, documenting tribal knowledge, and leading continuous improvement programs
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
