Mechanical Engineer – Heavy Industrial Manufacturing

Position Overview

We are partnering with an established, growing North American industrial organization seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support capital improvement projects, equipment upgrades, and engineering initiatives across multiple manufacturing facilities.

This position offers the opportunity to work directly with large-scale industrial machinery, solve complex mechanical challenges, and manage engineering projects from initial planning through installation and commissioning.

The ideal candidate has a strong mechanical engineering foundation, hands-on experience in an industrial environment, and an interest in taking ownership of equipment and facility improvement projects.

Candidates from a wide range of heavy manufacturing backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Direct metals recycling experience is not required.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, coordinate, and execute mechanical engineering and capital improvement projects across industrial facilities.
• Support equipment selection, engineering specifications, vendor evaluations, procurement, installation, and commissioning.
• Work with industrial machinery and mechanical systems, including conveyors, hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, rotating equipment, and material handling systems.
• Identify and implement equipment upgrades to improve plant reliability, efficiency, safety, and performance.
• Troubleshoot mechanical equipment issues and support root cause analysis.
• Collaborate with plant operations, maintenance personnel, contractors, equipment suppliers, and engineering leadership.
• Assist with project budgets, schedules, cost estimates, technical documentation, and project closeout.
• Provide technical support during equipment installation, startup, and operational improvements.
• Travel to manufacturing facilities throughout the United States and Canada as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum of 5 years of mechanical engineering experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Experience working with industrial equipment, mechanical systems, or manufacturing operations.
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to coordinate engineering projects and work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Willingness to travel approximately 25–30%.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with capital projects, equipment installation, commissioning, or industrial equipment upgrades.
• Familiarity with conveyors, hydraulics, pumps, rotating equipment, or bulk material handling systems.
• Experience managing equipment vendors, contractors, and installation activities.
• Background in heavy industrial manufacturing, including steel, aluminum, metals recycling, mining, cement, aggregates, chemical processing, oil and gas, or other industrial operations.
• Professional Engineer (PE) designation.
• Competitive base salary ranging from $77,500 to $131,900, depending on qualifications and experience.
• 15% target annual performance bonus.
• Opportunity to work on significant capital investments and equipment modernization initiatives.
• Exposure to multiple industrial facilities and manufacturing processes across North America.
• Long-term professional development opportunities within an established industrial organization.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys being involved in the practical side of engineering rather than focusing exclusively on design.

You'll have the opportunity to work on meaningful capital projects, collaborate directly with manufacturing operations, and help improve the performance of large-scale industrial equipment.

Whether your experience comes from steel production, mining, industrial machinery, chemical processing, or another heavy manufacturing environment, this position offers an opportunity to apply your mechanical engineering expertise across a diverse industrial operation.
