The Process Engineering Manager provides strategic and hands-on leadership to both the Manufacturing Engineering and Maintenance teams, with overall responsibility for optimizing, standardizing, and scaling production processes. This Leader ensures manufacturing operations are safe, efficient, cost-effective, and aligned with quality and operational objectives, while also overseeing building and property maintenance functions.

The successful candidate will lead the development and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, ensuring performance targets for safety, throughput, quality, and cost are consistently achieved. Through the use of analytics, statistical process control, and structured problem-solving methodologies, the Process Engineering Manager will monitor process performance, drive measurable improvements in overall equipment effectiveness, reduce scrap and cycle times, and implement standardized work and process controls. Our ideal candidate will champion Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen initiatives, conduct workflow studies and capacity modeling, and lead root-cause investigations using structured tools such as 8D, DMAIC, and Fishbone analysis.

The Process Engineering Manager will also oversee procurement, justification, and commissioning of major manufacturing equipment, providing strong vendor management and capital budget oversight.
