Safety is the first consideration in every layout, equipment, tooling, contractor, installation, commissioning, and startup decision. The role translates proven manufacturing concepts into safe, efficient facility and work-cell designs, equipment and tooling specifications, installation plans, and commissioned production assets.\nThe position is expected to take an end-to-end view of each work cell: from incoming material through processing, handling, inspection, and finished-part transfer. Designs should minimize unnecessary movement and handling, improve ergonomics and maintainability, and incorporate practical automation wherever it improves safety, repeatability, quality, throughput, or total operating effectiveness. The role emphasizes disciplined execution and replication rather than unnecessary reinvention of established manufacturing processes.\nJob Description\nKey Accountabilities:\nChampion a safety-first engineering culture. Apply risk reduction at the design stage and ensure layouts, equipment, tooling, guarding, utilities, access, material handling, installation, and commissioning activities support safe operation and maintenance.\nDevelop and maintain detailed 2D/3D CAD facility layouts incorporating manufacturing equipment, work cells, utilities, material handling, operator access, maintenance clearances, safety zones, and future expansion requirements.\nDesign end-to-end work-cell flow around the established manufacturing process, optimizing the movement of people, raw material, work-in-process, finished product, tooling, and information through the cell.\nIdentify and develop opportunities to reduce manual handling, excess travel, congestion, and non-value-added movement, while incorporating automation or mechanized handling where technically and economically appropriate.\nEnsure work-cell designs consider ergonomics, safe access, maintainability, quality inspection points, material presentation, equipment interfaces, automation integration, and practical production support requirements.\nTranslate established manufacturing requirements into equipment, tooling, utility, infrastructure, controls, and installation specifications.\nDevelop technical scopes of work, equipment specifications, bid packages, and RFQs; participate in supplier evaluation and technical selection.\nCoordinate equipment manufacturers, integrators, electrical contractors, mechanical contractors, installation contractors, and internal stakeholders, with clear expectations for safety, technical compliance, schedule, and quality.\nManage assigned capital projects through planning, procurement, installation, commissioning, startup, and handover, with disciplined control of scope, schedule, budget, risk, change, and safety.\nProvide hands-on technical leadership during equipment installation, troubleshooting, commissioning, and production ramp-up.\nIdentify site, equipment, automation, and contractor-interface risks early and drive practical corrective actions to protect safety, schedule, and startup readiness.\nSupport the consistent replication and scaling of established manufacturing concepts across multiple North American facilities.\nMaintain appropriate project documentation, drawings, equipment records, technical specifications, risk assessments, punch lists, and handover documentation.\nEnsure engineering and installation activities comply with applicable safety requirements, codes, company standards, and site requirements.\nundefined\n· Meet TKMNA Employee Attributes / Competencies\nThe above is intended to describe the general content of and requirement for the performance of this job. It is not to be constructed as an exhaustive statement of duties, responsibilities or requirements.\nQualifications:\nMinimum Requirements: \nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.\n8+ years of relevant manufacturing, equipment, facilities, automation, or capital project engineering experience.\nDemonstrated experience developing manufacturing facility and work-cell layouts using CAD software such as AutoCAD or equivalent.\nDemonstrated ability to design practical end-to-end work-cell flow with consideration for material movement, operator movement, ergonomics, equipment interfaces, maintainability, and automation opportunities.\nProven experience specifying, procuring, installing, and commissioning manufacturing equipment and tooling.\nDemonstrated coordination of electrical, mechanical, equipment installation, automation/integration, and/or construction contractors.\nExperience managing capital projects with responsibility for scope, schedule, budget, technical deliverables, safety, risk, and execution.\nStrong working knowledge of manufacturing equipment, tooling, fabrication processes, utilities, material handling, and equipment-to-facility interfaces.\nStrong understanding of machine and workplace safety principles and the ability to incorporate risk reduction into engineering design and project execution.\nStrong technical problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in active construction and manufacturing environments.\nAbility and willingness to travel approximately 30-50% throughout North America, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Travel may temporarily exceed 50% during critical installation, commissioning, and startup phases.\nAbility to support occasional evening or weekend work when required for critical installations, shutdowns, commissioning, or startup activities..\nPreferred Requirements: \nPrevious direct involvement in one or more greenfield manufacturing facility startups or major facility expansions.\nExperience replicating or scaling an established manufacturing process or facility concept across multiple sites.\nExperience with busbar, electrical distribution products, copper or aluminum fabrication, metal forming, machining, punching, bending, cutting, or related manufacturing technologies.\nExperience applying automation, robotics, conveyors, automated material handling, or other mechanized solutions to improve safety, flow, quality, or productivity.\nExperience conducting or supporting equipment safety reviews, risk assessments, machine guarding reviews, or design-for-safety activities.\nExperience managing significant capital equipment or facility investment programs.\nAdvanced 2D and/or 3D CAD capability and experience coordinating equipment layouts with building and utility requirements.\nPMP or comparable project management certification.\nWorking familiarity with relevant OSHA, NFPA, electrical, machine safety, and facility requirements.\nExperience working with controls, equipment integrators, and domestic or international equipment suppliers.\nJob Compensation\nUp to $134K Annually\nBenefits Overview\nWe offer competitive company benefits to eligible positions, such as:\nMedical, Dental, Vision Insurance\nLife Insurance and Disability\nVoluntary Wellness Programs\n401(k) or RRSP programs with Company Match \nPaid Vacation and Holidays\nTuition Reimbursement\nAnd more!\nBenefits may vary based on job, country, union role, and/or company segment.
