Job Description

GTI is a contract manufacturing partner supporting customers in renewable energy, power generation, infrastructure, and industrial systems.
We fabricate custom designed, purpose-built enclosures and skids for our customers and perform mechanical and electrical integration in-house, delivering a true turn-key product to our customers. Our scope spans Engineering, prototype builds, through full production, requiring teams that can move fast, adapt, and execute with precision.
GTI Values: Safey I Quality I Customer Obsession I Speed I Agility


GTI is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead engineering execution across multiple concurrent programs within our modular infrastructure portfolio. This role is responsible for:
  • Portfolio-level oversight of engineering deliverables
  • Alignment with Project Management and Design Leads to ensure engineering work supports scope and schedule
  • Aggregated reporting of engineering health, risk, and capacity to Directors
  • Development, performance management, and growth of engineering staff

This role does not serve as the sole technical authority for a specific discipline. Project-level technical ownership resides with Design Leads, and engineering standards are defined in collaboration with Discipline Leadership. The Engineering Manager ensures alignment, resource sufficiency, execution quality, and delivery performance across the portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Portfolio & Delivery Oversight

  • Oversee engineering execution across multiple concurrent programs in BESS, modular data centers, Gen Set platforms, and related infrastructure
  • Partner with Project Managers to ensure engineering deliverables align with defined scope, milestones, and release criteria
  • Monitor engineering health across projects, identifying risks, constraints, and resource gaps early
  • Provide aggregated project status updates, risk summaries, and capacity insights to Directors
  • Ensure adherence to structured NPI phase gates and defined design maturity requirements prior to release
  • Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Collaborate with Engineering disciplines, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, and Operations to ensure integrated system delivery
  • Support resolution of cross-functional execution conflicts impacting engineering scope
  • Ensure engineering decisions support manufacturability, cost targets, compliance requirements, and scalability across product lines
  • Team Leadership & Capacity Planning

  • Lead, coach, and develop Engineers and Designers across relevant disciplines (mechanical, electrical, structural, systems, or related fields)
  • Own hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development
  • Manage workload balancing and engineering capacity planning across active programs
  • Build bench strength and succession readiness within the engineering organization
  • Foster a culture of shared accountability and flexibility, where engineers can operate across detailing, design, and release activities as needed to protect throughput
  • Engineering Process & Quality

  • Ensure engineering work meets defined quality expectations for drawings, BOM integrity, revision control, and release discipline
  • Reinforce Design for Manufacturing principles in collaboration with Manufacturing Engineering
  • Support root cause analysis and corrective action for design issues or production escapes
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering workflows, documentation discipline, and release processes
  • Requirements

    Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Systems, or related discipline)
  • 8–12+ years of design or systems engineering experience in heavy fabrication, modular systems, industrial manufacturing, or engineered-to-order environments
  • 3+ years of people leadership or technical team leadership experience
  • Experience with BESS enclosures, modular data centers, Gen Set platforms, or containerized infrastructure
  • Experience operating in multi-project environments with competing priorities
  • Strong experience in design release processes, documentation discipline, and cross-functional technical execution
  • Demonstrated ability to lead engineering execution in schedule-driven environments
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience operating within structured NPI or phase-gate development models
  • Familiarity with fabrication-driven design, structural compliance, or power system integration
  • Experience in PLM / ERP-integrated engineering systems
  • Experience scaling engineering teams in growth-stage organizations
  • Benefits & Perks
