Director Of Engineering
Are you an engineering leader who excels at building high-performing teams, driving new product development, and creating structure within growing organizations? We're partnering with a well-established manufacturer in Oak Creek, WI seeking a Director of Engineering to lead a small multi-disciplinary engineering team and drive innovation across a specialized industrial product portfolio. Reporting directly to executive leadership, this is a highly visible role with the opportunity to shape engineering strategy, improve execution, and make a lasting impact on the business.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and develop a team of mechanical and electrical engineering professionals
- Own and drive new product development initiatives from concept through launch
- Establish project management discipline, milestones, and accountability measures
- Accelerate product development timelines and improve engineering execution
- Partner closely with sales, operations, and executive leadership to align business and engineering objectives
- Provide both strategic leadership and hands-on technical guidance as needed
- Evaluate and leverage external engineering resources to support growth initiatives
- Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement
What We're Looking For:
- Proven experience leading engineering teams in a manufacturing or industrial environment
- Strong track record of successful new product development and commercialization
- Ability to bring structure and process to organizations undergoing transformation or growth
- Confident communicator who can drive accountability and navigate difficult conversations
- Player-coach leadership style with a willingness to remain technically engaged
- Experience with SolidWorks or similar CAD platforms
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering preferred
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Direct access to executive leadership with significant influence on company direction
- Opportunity to rebuild and elevate an engineering function
- High-impact role driving innovation, product development, and operational excellence
- Established organization with a strong market presence and long-tenured workforce
- Ability to implement new processes, tools, and best practices while leading meaningful change
This opportunity is ideal for an engineering leader who enjoys stepping into environments that need transformation, building alignment across teams, and turning ideas into successful products.
