Full Job Description

Company Summary:

Plastic Ingenuity is committed to providing innovative, high-quality packaging for the food, healthcare, and consumer goods industries. At the company's heart are five core values that define who we are and why we have sustained success since 1972. We are friendly and genuine, fostering authentic connections with colleagues and clients alike. Resourcefulness defines our approach, allowing us to turn challenges into opportunities. Collaboration is ingrained in our process, uniting diverse perspectives to identify creative solutions. Total customer focus drives us; we listen intently, respond promptly, and consistently exceed expectations. Lastly, we are dependable doers, letting our actions speak louder than words. These values are the cornerstone of Plastic Ingenuity.

Role Summary:

Plastic Ingenuity is seeking a hands-on Production Engineer with strong mechanical aptitude and demonstrated manufacturing problem-solving experience. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on the production floor, diagnosing equipment and process issues, leading improvement projects, and working directly with operators, maintenance, tooling, and leadership teams.

This is not a purely desk-based engineering role. The successful candidate will be expected to take ownership of equipment improvements, root cause investigations, machine modifications, process optimization, and cross-functional project execution.

Candidates should have practical experience working with manufacturing equipment, machine design concepts, mechanical systems, and process troubleshooting in a production environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis for recurring production, safety, quality, and equipment issues
Drive process improvements focused on safety, reliability, productivity, scrap reduction, and uptime
Design, evaluate, and implement machine modifications and equipment improvements
Work directly with production and maintenance teams to optimize operating conditions and eliminate chronic issues
Manage capital and improvement projects from concept through implementation
Coordinate with equipment vendors, integrators, and suppliers on technical solutions
Develop and improve manufacturing methods, tooling concepts, and standard operating procedures
Support structured safety initiatives including Job Hazard Analyses and risk reduction efforts
Deliver technical training and mentor less experienced team members or interns
Maintain a strong floor presence and build positive working relationships across departments

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, or related field
Strong mechanical aptitude with hands-on manufacturing or equipment experience
Experience troubleshooting mechanical and/or electrical systems in a production environment
Experience leading projects involving equipment improvements, automation, machine modifications, or process optimization
Strong root cause analysis and problem-solving capability
Ability to communicate effectively with operators, maintenance technicians, engineers, and leadership teams
Comfortable working independently and driving projects to completion

Preferred Experience

Candidates with experience in the following areas are strongly preferred:

Machine design or equipment integration
Manufacturing process engineering
Thermoforming, plastics, packaging, converting, or high-speed manufacturing
PLC troubleshooting or controls exposure
Lean manufacturing / continuous improvement
CAPEX project management
Preventive reliability improvements
Fabrication, tooling, pneumatics, hydraulics, servos, or automation systems

Plastic Ingenuity is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace, as we know that each of our employees helps to make us better. We strongly encourage applicants from all backgrounds and walks of life. Come join us.
