Sibling is partnering with a well-established consumer-products manufacturer in the Memphis area to appoint a Project Engineer. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who wants to own capital projects end to end and drive real improvement across a busy plant — with genuine scope to grow toward technical and site leadership over time.

You’ll lead engineering and process-improvement projects from concept through execution, working shoulder to shoulder with manufacturing, maintenance, quality, supply chain and packaging development, and playing an active part in new-product teams.

What you’ll be doing

Lead engineering and process-improvement projects from scope development through delivery
Own capital projects through the full lifecycle — scoping, cost estimation, and the CapEx approval process
Build detailed project schedules, resource plans and budgets, and keep projects on time and on cost
Provide hands-on technical support and troubleshooting through implementation and commissioning
Review and approve technical drawings, specifications and documentation
Drive continuous improvement — analyse performance data (cycle time, defect rates), develop KPIs and dashboards, and embed best practice and SOPs so gains stick
Identify project risks and put mitigation in place; ensure compliance with safety, quality, environmental and regulatory standards
Report progress to stakeholders and keep cross-functional teams aligned

What you’ll bring

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical or Electrical)
5+ years in project engineering or manufacturing
Strong project-management skills — developing scope and implementing changes in plants or processes
Solid technical problem-solving and mechanical aptitude
Proficiency with CAD, and with project-management / data-analysis tools (e.g. MS Project, Excel, Minitab)
Excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills, with the ability to juggle priorities in a fast-paced environment
Comfortable partnering with cross-functional teams and across all levels of the organisation
Willingness to travel up to ~20% as projects require

Why this role

A dedicated capital-projects remit with the autonomy to make it your own
A clear path to grow toward technical/site leadership
On-site in the Memphis area — no relocation for local candidates
Permanent, W2, with a competitive package and a visible seat on new-product and plant-improvement teams
