Staff Mechanical Engineer



We're seeking a Staff Mechanical Engineer to support a heavy industrial metals manufacturing operation. This is a plant-facing engineering role focused on equipment reliability, major mechanical projects, and solving complex production equipment issues in a demanding manufacturing environment.



What You'll Be Doing

• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis of critical production equipment failures
• Provide direct engineering support to maintenance and operations teams
• Manage large equipment rebuilds, upgrades, and capital projects
• Develop and improve preventative maintenance and equipment reliability strategies
• Serve as the technical expert for key mechanical systems within the department
• Support safety, quality, and production performance initiatives
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering
• 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience in manufacturing
• Experience supporting heavy industrial equipment in a production environment
• Strong background in mechanical systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, lubrication systems, rotating equipment, and maintenance engineering
• Experience leading equipment installations, rebuilds, shutdown work, or capital projects
• Comfortable spending significant time on the production floor and responding to urgent equipment issues
  
  

Strongly Preferred

• Experience in aluminum, steel, metals, foundry, rolling mill, casting, mining, or other heavy manufacturing environments
• Experience with hot process manufacturing or high-temperature operations
• Background supporting large-scale production assets rather than facility/building systems
  
  

Not a Fit If Your Background Is Primarily

• HVAC, MEP, facilities, or building systems engineering
• Product design or R&D engineering
• Aerospace design without manufacturing operations experience
• Office-based mechanical design with limited involvement in plant equipment, maintenance, or operations
