Our clients seeking support are often looking to fill positions quickly and in multiple locations across the United States. As such we intend on developing a pool of interested and eligible candidates who can be utilized when our clients make their requests.

We are seeking Manufacturing Project Engineers to support various production engineering teams, including battery manufacturing, process engineering, equipment installation, new model development, and paint/vehicle manufacturing systems.

About the Role

Paint Project Engineers support process integrity, equipment readiness, material performance, and ongoing improvement initiatives within high‑volume automotive paint departments.

This position is ideal for engineers who excel in fast‑paced, hands‑on environments and who can manage technical assignments from root‑cause investigation through countermeasure implementation. Projects may include new material introductions, circulation system improvements, paint process optimization, equipment refurbishments, or new system installs.

Engineers will work closely with production leaders, maintenance teams, suppliers, robotics specialists, and cross‑functional groups to ensure safety, quality, and throughput targets are consistently achieved.

Key Responsibilities

Investigate process or equipment concerns using structured problem‑solving methodologies
Interpret and review paint system drawings, paint circulation schematics, and equipment specifications

Project Management

Lead and support change management, including equipment installation or refurbishment projects

Coordinate cross‑department investigations and communicate root cause, countermeasures, and solutions to management
Support kaizen activities initiated by production while protecting key KPIs

Continuous Improvement & Problem Solving

Apply structured problem‑solving methodologies (PDCA, 5‑Why, DMAIC)

Manufacturing Support

Support production issue resolution, equipment efficiency improvements, and quality countermeasures
Participate in advanced cleanliness protocols when working in battery or clean‑room environments

Safety & Compliance

Ensure all engineering work aligns with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards
Follow all PPE requirements: steel-toe footwear, safety glasses, protective headwear (and additional PPE as required) provided per site guidelines

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering (mechanical, industrial, electrical, manufacturing, chemical, or similar)
Experience in an automotive manufacturing environment, specifically within paint operations
2-8+ years of engineering or project management experience in manufacturing
Experience supporting capital projects, equipment installation, or production preparation
Ability to read and interpret 2D/3D drawings, facility layouts, and equipment documentation
Strong problem-solving mindset using structured methods (PDCA, 5-Why, DMAIC, etc.)
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Project, Outlook, PowerPoint)
Ability to work overtime, weekends, and shutdown periods based on project needs
Ability to travel domestically and internationally, if required (vendor trials, supplier visits, training)
Must follow all PPE requirements of the site including steel-toe footwear, safety glasses, protective headwear and any additional PPE as required

Preferred Qualifications

Bachelor's in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, or Manufacturing Engineering
CAD experience (AutoCAD, Inventor, or similar) including ability to read, interpret, and modify drawings
Experience with PLC programming (Ladder Logic) including troubleshooting and making minor programming changes
Exposure to equipment installation, commissioning, or paint process upgrades
Familiarity with North American manufacturing safety standards
Six Sigma, Lean, or related engineering certifications
