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
