DISHER is currently partnering with a recognized leader in providing North American businesses with engineering solutions, sourcing and supply chain development, and Asian market entry and start-up services. In this role, you will serve as the day-to-day technical link between the customer’s engineering and manufacturing teams and the engineering team in India. You will coordinate by gathering requirements, supporting design and manufacturing activities, managing technical communication, and helping to resolve issues so engineering deliverables are accurate, practical, and production-ready.

This role may be either on-site in Dyersville, IA or in the greater Minneapolis, MN area.

What you will get to do:

• Coordinate directly with the customer mechanical, refrigeration, electrical, manufacturing, quality, production, procurement, and project teams.
• Translate requirements, design changes, production feedback, and open issues into clear assignments for the engineering team in India.
• Collect measurements, photos, equipment data, specifications, redlines, and shop-floor information needed to complete engineering work.
• Coordinate design reviews, technical clarifications, drawing updates, bills of material, approvals, and engineering change activities.
• Review drawings, models, schematics, layouts, and technical documents for completeness, manufacturability, and alignment with customer standards.
• Support troubleshooting during fabrication, assembly, testing, commissioning, and field-service issue resolution.
• Maintain project schedules, action lists, issue logs, deliverable trackers, and regular status updates across U.S. and India teams.
• International travel twice a year.

What will make you successful:
