Job description

We’re partnering with a major unionized food manufacturer to hire a hands‑on Engineering Manager who knows their way around machinery—not just the budget. This is a senior technical leadership role for someone with a true engineering backbone who can diagnose, repair, and optimize equipment without defaulting to external contractors.

If you come from food manufacturing, rendering, edible oils, or high‑temperature processing and you’re the person others call when the machine actually needs fixing—this role was built for you.

  • Monday–Friday | Day Shift
  • $135K - $153K Salary (based on qualifications)
  • Benefits from Day 1

Engineering Manager – Responsibilities

  • Lead engineering and maintenance strategy to maximize uptime, reliability, and efficiency
  • Personally support and troubleshoot complex mechanical and process equipment when required—this is a hands‑on role
  • Oversee daily maintenance activities and mentor technical teams
  • Optimize equipment design, layouts, and preventative maintenance programs
  • Ensure compliance with GMPs, HACCP, and food safety standards
  • Own CAPEX planning, execution, and long‑term asset strategy
  • Manage maintenance budgets and drive cost‑saving initiatives
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally with Operations, Quality, and Production
  • Maintain high safety standards across all food processing equipment
  • Continuously improve engineering and maintenance processes, policies, and procedures
  • Train teams and ensure adherence to safety and operational standards
  • Engineering Manager – Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent professional designation
  • 443A or 442A considered a strong asset
  • 5+ years in a senior engineering or maintenance leadership role within food manufacturing
  • Proven hands‑on engineering capability—able to repair and troubleshoot equipment directly
  • Background in rendering, edible oil processing, high‑temperature processing, or similar environments
  • Centrifugal equipment experience is a must
  • Strong understanding of rendering or thermal processing systems
  • Experience with CAPEX, project management, and equipment upgrades
  • Demonstrated experience implementing safety programs and procedures
  • Familiarity with maintenance tracking and work‑order systems
  • Strong budgeting and cost‑control experience within engineering or maintenance operations
