Project Engineer - Build the Future of Our Expanding Operations

If you're an engineer who loves being in the field, solving technical challenges, and bringing complex industrial projects to life, this role puts you at the center of our company's growth. We're expanding, investing, and modernizing - and we need a hands-on Project Engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments and wants to take ownership of capital projects from design through commissioning.

You'll work directly with plant Engineering Managers and manufacturing teams to execute projects that upgrade infrastructure, expand capacity, and install advanced cable-manufacturing machinery. This is a role for someone who wants to be close to the equipment, the drawings, and the build - not sitting behind a desk all day.

Reporting to the Director of Strategic Capital Projects, you'll be on-site driving the technical execution of major investments. Your engineering expertise will ensure our layouts, foundations, utilities, and equipment installations are designed correctly, built correctly, and delivered on schedule.

If you enjoy problem-solving, field work, and seeing your designs turn into real-world results, you'll feel right at home here.
