Dura-Line is currently hiring an experienced Engineer Manager for our Salt Lake City (Extrusion) site. The ideal candidate will have a strong engineering and project management background to champion the site's lean manufacturing initiatives and manage critical capital expenditure projects.

As the Engineer Manager, you will be responsible for identifying and implementing CapEx projects with an eye towards increasing production output and decreasing lost time. This includes preparing and administering the site's annual budget, developing the economic justification for projects, sourcing and managing contractors and creating and monitoring schedules and budgets from kick-off to capitalization. Your strong time management and self-direction skills will be instrumental in ensuring the successful implementation of multiple concurrent projects.

In this critical role, you will initiate and implement technical improvements of manufacturing processes that affect employee safety, equipment efficiency, reliability, and product quality. Your ability to effectively collaborate with the maintenance, production, quality, and shipping departments will allow you to identify and resolve problems that directly affect the plant's performance.

In conjunction with the Plant Manager, you will coordinate monthly cap-ex reviews, actively identify efficiency gaps, and find optimization opportunities. This role is responsible to create Preventative Maintenance plans and LOTO procedures to support the commissioning of new equipment with the maintenance department. You will also be responsible for assisting in the implementation of Predictive Maintenance programs, to reduce downtime and unexpected repair costs.

We empower you to be a change agent, empower people, and foster a culture of continuous improvements and setting up best-practice standards across all shifts. We are a people-centric company, and collaboration is needed to succeed.
