Own Projects That Power Real Production

Northwest Talent Solutions (NWTS) is partnering with a highly advanced innovation-driven manufacturing operation to identify a Mechanical Project Engineer ready to take ownership of capital projects thermal systems and plant infrastructure improvements.

This is not a support role.
This is a full lifecycle project engineering position where you will lead initiatives from concept through commissioning directly impacting production efficiency safety and long-term plant performance.

If you want to see your engineering work come to life on the plant floorand drive measurable resultsthis role is built for you.

What Youll Be Doing:

You will lead and execute high-impact engineering projects including:

• Managing capital projects ($10K$5M) from concept scope execution closeout
• Developing project scopes specifications budgets and timelines
• Coordinating vendors contractors fabrication installation and commissioning
• Supporting thermal and combustion systems including furnaces and heat-related processes
• Partnering with production maintenance and engineering teams to solve complex equipment challenges
• Driving improvements in safety reliability and operational performance
• Managing project budgets schedules and contractor safety requirements
• Contributing to the plants long-term capital planning and 5-year strategy

What Makes You a Strong Fit:

Were looking for engineers who bring:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (required)
• 2 years of manufacturing or project engineering experience
• Experience in Thermal/Combustion Engineering (required for top candidates)
• Proven ability to manage projects from concept through execution
• Strong collaboration skills across production maintenance and engineering teams

Bonus if you have:

• Experience with furnace systems combustion processes or heat-intensive manufacturing
• Background managing capital projects and vendor relationships
• Experience in metals paper or heavy industrial environments
• Strong project management and scheduling capabilities

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Own high-visibility capital projects with direct plant impact
• Work in a complex high-performance manufacturing environment
• Build specialized expertise in thermal and combustion systems (high-demand skillset)
• Clear path to senior project engineering or plant leadership roles

• Direct client access We work closely with hiring leaders
• Faster process Streamlined submission interview decision timelines
