Design. Build. Improve. See Your Impact on the Floor.

Northwest Talent Solutions (NWTS) is partnering with a world-class, innovation-driven manufacturing operation to identify a Mechanical Engineer who is ready to move beyond theory and into real-world impact.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll lead and support projects that directly influence safety, production, reliability, and quality across a high-performance manufacturing environment.

If you want to own projects from concept through execution and see your work come to life on the production floor—this role is built for you.

What You'll Be Doing:

You'll play a key role in driving engineering and operational success, including:

• Leading capital and sustaining projects from concept design execution commissioning
• Developing project scopes, specifications, and implementation plans
• Managing vendors, contractors, and external partners
• Supporting improvements in safety, reliability, infrastructure, and production output
• Collaborating with maintenance, production, and engineering teams to solve real-world challenges
• Driving process and equipment improvements across manufacturing systems
• Utilizing project management tools to deliver projects on time and within scope

What Makes You a Strong Fit:

We're looking for engineers who bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Agricultural Engineering (required)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work across all levels of an organization
• Experience or interest in project-based engineering within manufacturing environments
• Ability to translate design into execution and real-world results

Bonus if you have:

• Experience in industrial or manufacturing environments (metals preferred)
• Exposure to capital projects or equipment/process improvements
• Knowledge of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or utility systems
• Early experience (or strong interest) in project management and system integration

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work in a highly advanced manufacturing environment with complex systems
• Own projects end-to-end and see direct impact on production and performance
• Ideal for early-career engineers ready to accelerate into leadership
• Opportunity to grow into senior engineering or project leadership roles

Why Work With NWTS:

Northwest Talent Solutions is not a traditional recruiting firm—we are a talent advisory partner.

Here's what that means for you:

• Direct client access – We work closely with hiring leaders
• Faster process – Streamlined submission interview decision timelines
• Precision matching – We position you based on strengths, not keywords
• White-glove experience – Interview prep, insights, and transparent communication
• Led by a former VP of Talent Acquisition (Capital One, Amazon)

We advocate for you and ensure you're positioned to win—not just submitted.

Important Notes

• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. (no sponsorship available)
• Role subject to export control/ITAR requirements
• Onsite role with occasional off-shift support for projects
• No relocation assistance provided
