We’re looking for a proactive, floor-present Manufacturing Engineer to help bring order to complexity across a high-variation truck body manufacturing operation. With a wide variety of customer specs and semi-custom product lines, this role is all about solving for variability, stabilizing production, and building standardized processes that actually work on the floor.
You’ll partner directly with welders, fabricators, assemblers, painters, and supervisors to streamline flow, write clear SOPs, and resolve production issues in real-time. From fabrication to paint to final assembly, you’ll have a hand in every department and the autonomy to drive meaningful change across the shop. This is one of just two Manufacturing Engineers onsite, which means real opportunity, and real responsibility, for someone who thrives in fast-paced, hands-on environments.
If you’re ready to take ownership of the entire production process and you want to see your impact ripple across the entire facility, this is a high-impact role with room to grow.

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”
Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.
Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.
We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.
We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
