Company Description**BlueScope Coated Products is one of the largest coil coating companies in the United States, with facilities across the country. With more than four decades of expertise providing painted metal coils and toll processing services for industries in the construction and consumer product markets, we pride ourselves on delivering premium quality, reliable service, and ongoing innovation to our customers.BlueScope Coated Products is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to provide leadership for process engineering across seven coil coating lines. This role is responsible for overseeing multiple production lines and driving measurable improvements in safety, quality, reliability, and overall performance through effective engineering leadership and collaboration.The Engineering Manager develops a thorough understanding of BCP coating line processes and applies that knowledge to identify improvement opportunities, support operational excellence, and sustain performance gains. This role works closely with the Director of Engineering and internal and external technical experts to benchmark best practices, assess performance, and implement continuous improvement initiatives.This is a highly hands-on, field-based leadership position requiring regular and sustained presence on the shop floor to observe operations & teams, directly support troubleshooting, and leading overall project execution and implementation. The Engineering Manager is responsible for ensuring engineering solutions are effectively designed, implemented, integrated into plant operations, and sustained over time.This position requires extensive travel (>75%) across all 7 BCP locations.## Key Focus Areas**Process Engineering Leadership & Standardization*** Lead and develop a team of Process Engineers supporting all seven BCP coil coating lines.* Establish and maintain standardized process engineering practices across all sites.* Ensure consistent definition, monitoring, and control of critical process parameters across all lines.* Recognize that each line has unique equipment and constraints, while ensuring alignment on core process fundamentals and performance expectations.* Drive a unified approach to process control, while allowing for site-specific engineering solutions where required.* Build technical capability within the team and ensure strong process ownership at each facility.* Partner closely with Operations, Maintenance, IT, the Director of Engineering, and industry experts.**Line Ownership & Technical Leadership*** Develop deep operational understanding of all seven coil coating lines.* Act as a technical authority for coating line performance, stability, and control systems.* Work directly with Operations and Maintenance to resolve chronic and complex process issues.* Standardize engineering and control practices across all BCP sites.**Hands-On Leadership in the Field*** Spend significant time on plant floors driving real-time problem solving.* Lead troubleshooting efforts during downtime, quality issues, and process instability events.* Train and develop local plant personnel to build long-term capability and ownership.**Project Ownership (Full Lifecycle Execution)*** Own local engineering projects from concept through commissioning and handover.* Execute full project lifecycle including:+ Scope development and technical definition+ Vendor selection and coordination+ Installation and field execution+ Commissioning, startup, and performance validation+ Handover to operations with full documentation and training* Ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and with sustained results, not just startup success.**Automation, Controls & Systems Expertise*** Serve as the site-wide expert in Rockwell-based control systems including:+ ControlLogix / CompactLogix PLC platforms+ Studio 5000 programming and troubleshooting+ VFDs, drives, and motion systems+ HMI/SCADA systems* Lead control system upgrades, standardization, and obsolescence management.* Provide hands-on debugging of complex automation and electrical issues.**Industrial Networks & OT Systems*** Own reliability and performance of plant industrial networks (Ethernet/IP and related architectures).* Work with IT/OT teams to ensure secure and reliable integration between plant floor systems and servers.* Support plant data systems, historians, and performance tracking tools.**Performance & Continuous Improvement*** Drive measurable improvements in uptime, coating quality, and line efficiency.* Lead structured root cause analysis for chronic and high-impact failures.* Identify and implement control and automation improvements that materially improve line performance.* Benchmark performance across lines and drive standardization of best practices.## Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or related discipline)* Minimum of 10 years in a heavy manufacturing industrial environment within a plant or maintenance capacity* 3+ years people leading within engineering or technical teams with demonstrated ability to lead in a hands-on, plant-floor environment* Direct experience in coil coating or paint line operations. Proven experience working in continuous processing environments (coating, metals, or similar high-speed lines).* Experience working directly with electrical, mechanical, and controls troubleshooting in a manufacturing* Strong background in commissioning, troubleshooting, and production support.* Strong experience with Rockwell Automation platforms, including ControlLogix and CompactLogix PLCs, Studio 5000, PowerFlex AC/DC drives, and exposure to other PLC and drive platforms; demonstrated capability working with industrial drives, motor control systems, and HMI/SCADA solutions in a manufacturing environment* Experience with industrial networking architectures (EtherNet/IP strongly preferred), as well as plant servers, manufacturing data systems, and operational technology (OT) integration within a manufacturing environment.**Maintenance engineering or maintenance leadership experience#### Skills and Abilities**At BlueScope we believe in investing in our employees through our Leading at BlueScope Attributes. Results Achiever* - Delivers against continually higher levels of performance; Driver of Commercial Success* - Thinks and acts in the commercial interest of BlueScope; unlocks efficiencies and opportunities for commercial advantage.* *Work EnvironmentThe employee will be required daily to enter areas that are near moving mechanical parts, with occasional exposure to hazardous chemicals, and extreme cold or heat. The employee will be required to utilize Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when accessing certain manufacturing areas.Travel required greater than 75% across BCP
