The Plant Engineer is responsible for maintaining, improving, and optimizing the foundry’s manufacturing processes, equipment, and infrastructure. This role plays a key part in ensuring efficient, safe, and cost-effective production by leading engineering projects, supporting equipment reliability, and driving continuous improvement initiatives. The ideal candidate will possess a strong technical foundation, project management experience, and the ability to lead cross-functional efforts to enhance plant performance. How You Will Help • Lead plant engineering projects involving equipment design, installation, modification, and optimization. • Collaborate with maintenance and production teams to troubleshoot issues and implement long-term corrective actions. • Develop and manage preventive and predictive maintenance programs to minimize downtime and extend equipment life. • Design and oversee improvements in foundry systems, including melt operations, molding, core-making, and sand reclamation. • Develop project scopes, budgets, and schedules; manage contractors and vendors to ensure timely completion. • Ensure compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations across all engineering projects. • Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, cost reduction, and process reliability. • Analyze equipment performance data and drive root cause analysis for recurring failures. • Prepare and maintain plant documentation, including drawings, specifications, and standard operating procedures. • Research and recommend new technologies or methods to enhance production efficiency and sustainability. What You Will Bring • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related field). • Minimum of 5–7 years of manufacturing or plant engineering experience; foundry or heavy industrial experience strongly preferred. • Proven experience managing capital projects from concept through implementation. • Proficiency in CAD software (AutoCAD or SolidWorks preferred). • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills. • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage multiple projects simultaneously. • Working knowledge of safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance standards. • Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or Continuous Improvement methodologies a plus.
