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

Strong budgeting and cost‑control experience within engineering or maintenance operations
