Our client is seeking a Project Engineer to join their team in York, PA. Though smaller in size (25 employees), they've been in business for over 100 years and partner with some of the world's largest companies to deliver custom machinery solutions. This is a low-volume, precision-focused manufacturing environment with a strong emphasis on work/life balance.

The team is looking for someone who genuinely enjoys meeting new people and can leverage their mechanical aptitude to help solve customers' manufacturing challenges. In many cases, you'll play an integral role in modernizing processes that may have remained unchanged for decades. The work is highly intellectually stimulating, involving complex, customized applications and collaboration with top-tier engineering teams. With an average tenure of 10 years, excellent benefits, and generous PTO, this company truly prioritizes its people.
