Title: Senior Project Engineer

Location: Sioux City, IA area

I’m partnering with a growing manufacturer that’s looking for a Senior Project Engineer to lead high-impact manufacturing and capital projects from concept through completion. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys driving cross-functional initiatives, improving operations, and delivering projects that make a measurable impact.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead manufacturing, capital, and operational improvement projects from initiation through completion
• Manage project scope, timelines, budgets, risks, and stakeholder communication
• Coordinate cross-functional teams across engineering, operations, maintenance, and leadership
• Drive project management best practices and portfolio visibility across the organization
• Ensure projects align with business objectives while meeting quality, cost, and schedule expectations

About the Operation:

• Large-scale manufacturing campus with over 700K sq. ft. of production space
• More than 700 employees in a growing, non-union environment
• Part of a multi-site North American manufacturing network
• Ongoing investments in facilities, equipment, and operational growth
• Mix of high-quality custom manufacturing and assembly operations

Ideal Background:

• Hands-on manufacturing project management experience (not IT/software)
• Proven success leading capital projects, facility expansions, equipment installations, or operational improvement initiatives
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations, Business, or a related field preferred (or equivalent manufacturing project management experience)
• PMP certification is a plus
