Key Responsibilities
Lead, develop and help build a team of engineers and designers supporting low-voltage products and projects.
Provide engineering leadership for low-voltage switchgear, switchboards, power distribution equipment, controls and related electrical systems.
Manage engineering projects from initial requirements and design through drawing release, manufacturing, testing and delivery.
Establish project priorities, engineering schedules, workloads and deliverables while ensuring commitments are met.
Work closely with manufacturing and spend time on the production floor to understand issues, resolve engineering challenges and ensure designs can be successfully manufactured.
Review project requirements, drawings, bills of material, components and standard product packages while providing direction to engineering and design personnel.
Partner with manufacturing, operations, project management, sales, estimating and the broader engineering organization.
Coordinate closely with engineering leadership and teams in Chicago to maintain consistency, share resources and support company-wide engineering initiatives.
Develop and improve engineering processes, standards and repeatable product packages as the Houston operation continues to grow.
Utilize ERP and related business systems to support engineering, materials, project execution and manufacturing workflows.
Participate in customer discussions when technical engineering support is required. While this position will not serve as the primary face of the company, the Engineering Manager must be comfortable communicating with customers and explaining technical issues, project requirements and solutions.
Mentor and develop engineers and designers while establishing accountability and a strong engineering culture.
Help identify opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, manufacturability and overall project execution.
Ideal Background
Strong experience with low-voltage electrical power distribution equipment, preferably including switchgear, switchboards, controls, panelboards or closely related engineered electrical products.
Experience working in an electrical equipment manufacturing, switchgear, controls, power distribution or similar engineered-product environment.
Understanding of the complete project lifecycle from engineering and design through manufacturing, testing and delivery.
Experience working directly with manufacturing operations and resolving engineering issues on the production floor.
Approximately 3–5+ years of engineering leadership, project leadership or people-management experience.
Experience leading engineers, designers or technical project teams is highly desirable.
Candidates do not necessarily need to have managed a large department. Strong technical leaders who have successfully owned projects, schedules, resources and engineering deliverables will also be considered.
Experience managing engineering schedules, priorities, components, BOMs, standard packages and project deliverables.
Working knowledge of ERP systems and how engineering information flows into purchasing, materials, manufacturing and project execution.
SAP experience is a strong plus.
Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering, manufacturing, operations, project management and customers.
Ability to balance technical engineering responsibilities with leadership and project execution.
