Project Engineer I

The Project Engineer 1 (PE1) is responsible for the success of New Product Development Projects from CPB to the final PRO-04 phase. This is achieved by directing the activities of a development team towards the completion of the project’s product development and launch goals. The PE1 must manage multiple projects simultaneously. The PE1’s primary efforts are to provide daily support of the development teams by providing input and leadership to the team members’ efforts in design, manufacturing, marketing, and finance.

The PE1 is the technical communicator between Southco and the customer.
