Experience managing engineers and developing high-performing teams
Strong project management and organizational skills
Ability to implement structure and process within growing or evolving organizations
Excellent communication and leadership abilities

Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline preferred
Preferred Qualifications
Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams
Background in industrial equipment, engineered products, manufacturing, or related industries
Experience improving engineering workflows, product development processes, and team performance
Ability to balance strategic leadership with hands-on technical involvement
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Highly visible role with direct interaction with executive leadership
Opportunity to influence engineering strategy and company growth
Ability to build, develop, and elevate an engineering team
Ownership of key product development initiatives
Opportunity to implement new processes, tools, and best practices
Stable organization with a strong market presence and long-tenured workforce
Meaningful impact on product innovation, operational excellence, and business performance
Who This Role Fits Best
This opportunity is ideal for an Director of Engineering who enjoys building teams, creating structure, driving accountability, and delivering successful new products. The successful candidate will be a player-coach leader who can effectively guide a team while remaining engaged in the technical and strategic aspects of the business. xzgxqkn
