Manufacturing Project Engineer

At Victaulic, we’re known for pushing the boundaries of innovation in piping systems and manufacturing. As a Project Engineer in our Duluth, GA facility, you’ll do more than create drawings or crunch numbers. You’ll own initiatives from concept to completion—from upgrading a single line to commissioning a brand-new facility. If you’re an engineer who thrives on making things happen, this is your opportunity to be a key driver of meaningful transformation across our global operations.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• You’ll build things that matter – lead capital projects that shape how our plants run for decades to come.
• Cross-functional leadership – work across engineering, operations, supply chain, and vendor networks.
• High autonomy, high impact – solve complex technical challenges with independence and support.
• Engineering business strategy – leverage live manufacturing data to drive smart, data-backed decisions.
• Global reach, local team – support our international supply chain while staying part of a collaborative team.
• Competitive package – strong compensation, benefits, and the stability of a century-old industry leader.

What You’ll Own

• Plan and manage end-to-end engineering projects—from new equipment acquisition to facility expansions.
• Collaborate with fellow project engineers, designers, and internal stakeholders to define detailed project scopes and deliverables.
• Develop and maintain facility layouts, engineering drawings, and key project documentation.
• Lead vendor and contractor relationships, ensuring timelines, costs, and quality standards are met.
• Develop project justification studies using live manufacturing data to guide investment decisions.
• Own project budgets and schedules, serving as the primary point of contact for assigned initiatives.
• Spearhead the implementation of new technologies and production systems into existing manufacturing environments.
• Design equipment and facility upgrades with an eye toward efficiency, maintainability, and reliability.
• Apply Lean engineering principles to optimize workflows, reduce waste, and improve production readiness.
• Lead technical support during installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of new machinery.
• Assist in creating standard work procedures, process documentation, and training support for facility teams.
• Support cross-departmental needs (e.g., sales, product engineering) by providing technical guidance and project input.
• Ensure all work complies with safety standards, participating in relevant trainings and safety meetings.

What You Bring to the Table

• B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering
• 3–5 years of hands-on engineering experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or facilities role
• Expertise with AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, or similar 2D/3D modeling tools
• Proven success in project planning, process improvement, and technical troubleshooting
• Strong understanding of equipment, automation, construction practices, and fabrication processes (welding, CNC, etc.)
• Familiarity with Lean manufacturing and data-driven project evaluation (QlikSense experience a plus)
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities with limited supervision
• Experience with Microsoft Office Suite and Windows-based tools
• Willingness to travel occasionally (up to 20%) as projects require

If you’re ready to move from “just another engineer” to a trusted driver of real-world transformation, Victaulic is where your future starts. Apply today and lead the projects that power tomorrow’s infrastructure.
