This position supports custom pump and rotating equipment projects from initial quote through final delivery. The role suits a hands-on project engineer who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys balancing project management, mechanical problem-solving, reverse engineering, and design support. You will coordinate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to ensure complex, engineered-to-order projects are delivered accurately, on time, and in line with customer requirements.

• Manage multiple custom-engineered projects simultaneously from release through completion, ensuring alignment with scope and customer requirements.
• Develop detailed project schedules and establish realistic deadlines based on project scope, engineering requirements, materials availability, and production capacity.
• Support project estimating and quoting activities by evaluating labor, materials, manufacturing requirements, and engineering effort.
• Coordinate activities between Engineering, Operations, Purchasing, Production, Inside Sales, and Planning teams to maintain project momentum and clear communication.
• Monitor project status, track progress, and identify bottlenecks that could impact delivery commitments.
• Proactively resolve issues that affect schedule, scope, or execution, and drive daily project goals to keep projects on track.
• Create, modify, and redline engineering drawings using SolidWorks to support new designs, modifications, and custom configurations.
• Support reverse engineering efforts for customer equipment, repairs, rebuilds, and custom applications by analyzing existing components and assemblies.
• Interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and engineering specifications to ensure accurate understanding of design and performance requirements.
• Collaborate with manufacturing personnel to confirm that designs are accurate, manufacturable, and aligned with shop capabilities and processes.
• Assist with troubleshooting and technical problem-solving related to pumps, rotating equipment, and industrial machinery.
• Actively support manufacturing operations on the production floor, providing engineering guidance and clarifications as needed.
• Work closely with machinists, technicians, planners, and schedulers to support project execution and resolve day-to-day production issues.
• Participate in equipment testing and troubleshooting in the test lab to verify performance and validate design intent.
• Assist with inspections, production support activities, and project walk-throughs to ensure quality and adherence to requirements.
• Serve as a technical resource bridging engineering and manufacturing functions, helping translate design intent into practical execution.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, industrial equipment, custom machinery, rotating equipment, or engineered-to-order environments.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks, including experience creating, modifying, and reviewing engineering drawings.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems and manufacturing processes, including how designs translate to production.
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience supporting project schedules, timelines, and deadlines, with the ability to prioritize and adjust as needed.
• Ability to interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and engineering specifications accurately.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, operations, and production teams.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail in documentation, scheduling, and project follow-through.
• Ability to work both in an office environment and on the shop floor, engaging directly with production and test activities.

• Experience with industrial pumps and rotating equipment.
• Experience with fluid handling equipment such as pumps, compressors, or related systems.
• Background with compressors, gearboxes, motors, or other heavy industrial equipment.
• Reverse engineering experience, including analyzing existing equipment and components for redesign, repair, or replacement.
• Experience preparing project estimates and customer quotations, including evaluating labor, materials, and engineering effort.
• ERP system experience, with NetSuite experience preferred.
• Hands-on ap
