Your Job

Georgia-Pacific is seeking qualified professionals to consider for a Project Engineer/Manager role supporting the Consumer Manufacturing Group located in Muskogee, OK. The Muskogee facility uses integrated technology to manufacture tissue, towel, and napkin products in a progressive production environment. In this role, you will apply your mechanical engineering expertise to develop and execute capital and expense projects that improve safety, reliability, production capability, and cost performance. You will work closely with Operations, Maintenance, Reliability, Engineering, contractors, and equipment suppliers to identify opportunities, solve mechanical challenges, and implement sustainable engineering solutions. While project execution is an important part of this position, we are looking for someone who can bring strong mechanical technical capability to the mill and provide hands-on engineering support throughout the lifecycle of equipment and projects.

Our Team

For over 50 years, the Muskogee Paper Mill has been a major part of the economic lifeblood of the region. With more than 700 employees, across more than 600 acres, Muskogee strives to lead the tissue, towel, and napkin business. Our team recently invested more than $50 million to grow our brands and continue to serve our loyal consumers with the great quality they have come to expect.

What You Will Do

• Embrace and champion Georgia-Pacific's Principle Based Management (PBM) culture by building relationships, influencing stakeholders, and identifying value-creating engineering solutions.

• Partner with Operations, Maintenance, Reliability, Engineering, Procurement, contractors, and equipment suppliers to identify and implement solutions that improve safety, reliability, quality, productivity, and equipment performance.
• Develop technical scopes of work, equipment specifications, engineering packages, conceptual designs, cost estimates, project schedules, budgets, and Venture Summary Writeups (VSWs) to support project development and investment decisions. VSWs, schedules, estimates, and budgets are already part of the Muskogee project role.
• Apply sound engineering principles and technical analysis to troubleshoot mechanical equipment issues, evaluate failure modes, identify root causes, and develop sustainable solutions that improve equipment reliability and maintainability.
• Evaluate mechanical equipment and technology options, vendor proposals, engineering alternatives, and contractor strategies using economic thinking to identify solutions that create long-term value.
• Develop equipment specifications and participate in equipment selection, vendor evaluations, bid reviews, design reviews, and procurement activities.
• Review and coordinate engineering drawings, equipment specifications, vendor designs, and other technical deliverables to ensure solutions meet project requirements and applicable standards.
• Provide field engineering and construction support, working with contractors, maintenance teams, operations, and vendors to resolve technical issues during installation and execution.
• Support equipment checkout, commissioning, startup, and performance verification while ensuring appropriate project documentation and turnover to Operations and Maintenance.
• Design safety, reliability, maintainability, and environmental stewardship into engineering solutions and projects while supporting compliance with regulatory requirements and company standards.
• Manage assigned project scope, schedules, budgets, spending forecasts, procurement activities, and change management to deliver projects safely and effectively.
• Support the development and execution of mill capital plans by identifying opportunities to improve asset performance, eliminate recurring equipment problems, reduce operating costs, and strengthen the mill's mechanical capabilities.
• Share technical knowledge and help develop the capabilities of engineers, technicians, maintenance personnel, operations partners, and other team members through collaborative problem solving and technical coaching.
