• Coordinate work between Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Drafting, Manufacturing, Operations, and Project Management
• Follow up on open engineering actions and help drive issues to resolution
• Coordinate engineering responses to manufacturing questions, production issues, and redlines
• Track engineering changes, revisions, project requirements, and required deliverables
• Support coordination of drawing and documentation revisions through PLM/PDM systems
• Participate in project meetings, design reviews, production meetings, and other cross-functional activities
• Assist with reviewing engineering documentation for completeness, accuracy, and project requirements
• Help coordinate implementation of engineering changes and project-specific requirements
• Communicate project status, schedule concerns, and engineering priorities to the Engineering Manager and project teams
• Escalate technical or resource issues that may affect project schedules or deliverables
• Support continuous improvement of engineering project execution, scheduling, and communication processes
• Help ensure engineering deliverables are completed on time and support successful project execution

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related engineering discipline

• Experience working on project-based or engineered-to-order products
• Strong organizational and project coordination skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and project requirements
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively across multiple departments
• Strong problem-solving and follow-through skills
• Ability to identify schedule risks and coordinate actions to keep projects moving
• Strong attention to detail and technical documentation skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with switchgear or related power distribution equipment
• Experience with E-House, modular power systems, equipment skids, or other engineered systems
• Experience in an engineered-to-order manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with engineering change and release processes
• Experience with PLM/PDM systems
• Experience coordinating manufacturing redlines and production-related engineering changes
• Experience with project scheduling, project management, or engineering project coordination
• Familiarity with applicable industry standards and codes
• Experience working across Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Drafting, Manufacturing, and Operations

Work Environment

• Primarily office-based with regular interaction with Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing, and Project Management
• Regular interaction with the manufacturing floor to support project execution and resolve issues
• No travel required
• Individual contributor position with no direct reports

Benefits:

• PTO/ESST
• Paid holidays
• $100 individual deductible and $300 family deductible health insurance
• Paid Weekly
