Job Description

Plant Engineering Manager – Food Manufacturing

Location: Winchester, VA

Salary: $140K - $165k + 401K Benefits Package (Relocation Package Available)

If you love the smell of a production floor in the morning and know your way around high-speed automated packaging lines, this one’s for you.

We’re looking for a Plant Engineering Manager to take the lead on keeping operations running smoothly while driving improvements across maintenance, engineering, and efficiency. This isn’t a “sit back and observe” kind of role—you’ll be in the thick of it, making strategic decisions and getting your hands dirty when needed.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Owning the plant engineering strategy and executing a 3-5 year capital plan.
  • Leading capital projects from scope definition to installation and implementation.
  • Driving cost savings through smart CAPEX investments and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Setting a proactive maintenance strategy using PM optimization, predictive maintenance, and reliability-centered maintenance.
  • Developing and mentoring maintenance staff, ensuring they have the right technical skills.
  • Managing lean projects using tools like 5S, KPI, SMED, VSM, and Kaizen to cut waste and boost efficiency.
  • Partnering with operations leadership to implement engineering improvements that enhance productivity.
  • Training cross-functional teams in lean manufacturing principles (TPM) to drive measurable improvements.
  • Identifying and executing opportunities in safety, food safety, quality, and sanitation.

What You Need:

  • A degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or Chemical).
  • Experience in an engineering role (Project, Process, or Plant Engineering).
  • Maintenance management experience.
  • Experience with high-speed automated packaging lines.
  • Knowledge of PLCs, control systems, automation, and instrumentation.
  • The ability to juggle multiple large-scale projects at once.
  • Strong leadership, strategic planning, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience with CMMS or ERP systems.

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Combined Maintenance & Engineering experience.
  • PE, PMP, or CMRP certification.
  • Six Sigma qualification with strong lean manufacturing expertise.
  • Experience with AutoCAD, Ignition, Redzone, or Maintenance Connection.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll be setting the engineering direction for the plant. If you’re the kind of person who thrives in fast-paced, hands-on environments and knows how to get things done, we want to hear from you.
