About Walters, Nelson and Smith

Walters, Nelson & Smith | Precision in Engineering

Walters, Nelson & Smith (WNS) is a premier boutique engineering consulting firm dedicated to delivering high-impact solutions for complex structural and mechanical challenges. Founded on the principles of technical excellence and agile problem-solving, we bridge the gap between visionary design and practical execution.

Unlike larger, more rigid firms, WNS prides itself on a bespoke approach. We offer senior-level expertise and direct partner involvement on every project, ensuring that our clients receive sophisticated engineering insights tailored to their specific operational needs.

Core Specializations
  • Structural Forensic Analysis: Identifying and resolving integrity issues in existing infrastructure.
  • Sustainable Systems Design: Integrating energy-efficient mechanical solutions into modern builds.
  • Precision Prototyping: Streamlining the transition from conceptual CAD models to functional, manufacture-ready designs.
  • Regulatory Compliance & Risk Mitigation: Navigating the complex landscape of international engineering standards.

At Walters, Nelson & Smith, we don't just solve problems—we engineer resilience. Our focus is on building lasting partnerships through transparency, technical rigor, and a relentless commitment to quality.

About The Role

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Engineering Manager to join our Engineering department. In this full-time role, you will lead a team of talented engineers and data scientists, drive innovative solutions, and ensure the successful delivery of projects. Your leadership will inspire a culture of collaboration and excellence as you align technical goals with business objectives.

What You'll Do
  • Manage and mentor a team of engineers and data scientists, fostering professional growth and team development.
  • Develop and execute project plans, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align engineering initiatives with business objectives.
  • Implement and uphold engineering best practices, processes, and tools to ensure efficiency and quality in deliverables.
  • Own the end-to-end development lifecycle of projects, from planning to deployment.
  • Identify and resolve technical challenges, ensuring the team operates at peak performance.
  • Recruit, onboard, and retain top engineering talent.
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends and advancements to continually improve technology solutions and methodologies.
Qualifications
  • Proven experience in an engineering leadership role with a track record of managing successful technical teams.
  • Strong expertise in engineering, data science, and project management.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead with vision, inspire teams, and drive technical innovation.
  • Exceptional organizational and project management skills with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple responsibilities effectively.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with proficiency in English.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities and a proactive approach to identifying and addressing challenges.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (Master’s degree preferred).
  • Experience with hiring, team building, and driving diversity and inclusion initiatives within a technical team.
