supplier management
- Provide technical expertise and cost estimates during bid/proposal phases, collaborating with business‑development teams to align scope and mitigate risk.
- Drive lean/value engineering practices across product lines to optimize cost, performance, and manufacturability. Implement and oversee initiatives in design-for-manufacturability and design-to-cost to ensure projects meet performance, schedule, and margin targets. Standardize components and systems wherever possible to streamline design cycles and reduce variability.
- Establish business systems, KPIs, and dashboards that expose bottlenecks, drive accountability, and align with company objectives.
- Champion lean tools (value‑stream mapping, kaizen, 5S, PDCA) and institutionalize tribal knowledge through formal, revision‑controlled standards.
- Own engineering documentation (P&IDs, 3‑D CAD models, BOMs, manuals); maintain rigorous revision control, release packages to manufacturing/service, and integrate data with ERP/PLM systems.
- Build and lead a responsive engineering team from order receipt through start‑up and commissioning, fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration.
- Plan and control the engineering budget, capital‑expenditure requests, and resource allocation; monitor project costs versus estimates and act on variances.
- Develop and deploy equipment, component, and design standards grounded in customer expectations and best practices; maintain the technology roadmap and evaluate emerging water‑heating and wastewater‑treatment technologies to guide product evolution. Provide continual improvement to current equipment, including water heaters and heat‑recovery equipment, as well as wastewater equipment, design standards, manuals, and engineering procedures.
- Leverage expertise in engineered-to-order (ETO) and make-to-order (MTO) capital equipment manufacturing to lead the development and deployment of scalable engineering processes. Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, operations, and supply chain to improve throughput and reduce lead times.
- Manage, mentor, and develop a high‑performance, cross‑trained engineering organization; handle staffing, reviews, feedback, and career development. Lead design and risk reviews (DFMEA, HAZOP), manage document control, and ensure compliance with ASME, UL, NFPA, ISO 9001, and internal quality procedures.
- Manage supplier and external‑engineering interfaces—including specification development, technical reviews, quality verification, and capital‑equipment procurement—to ensure delivered components meet requirements.
