Job Description

CONFIDENTIAL MANUFACTURING ENGINEER — ELGIN, IL

Salary : $85–95K (up to $105–110K for the right fit) + Annual Bonus

Industry : Commercial Equipment / Industrial Manufacturing

Type : Full-Time, Onsite

A well-established and highly respected commercial equipment manufacturer in the Elgin, IL area is seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to join their growing engineering and operations team. This company is known for building durable, high-performance industrial products used globally by major household brands. With decades of industry leadership and a significant product legacy, the organization is entering a period of strategic growth, retirements, and succession planning, creating a strong long-term runway for this new hire.

This is an exclusive, high-priority role reporting directly to senior leadership.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Major career runway : Several upcoming retirements mean accelerated growth, ownership of processes, and the chance to become a key technical leader.
Small, collaborative engineering team : High visibility, close partnership with leadership, and a culture that encourages cross-functional collaboration.
Hands-on impact : Split time between engineering activities and being directly on the production floor driving improvements, solving problems, and partnering with operators.
Strong stability : Long-established products with an ongoing pipeline of updates, cost-saving initiatives, and continuous improvement projects.
Comprehensive benefits : PTO, paid holidays, medical / dental / vision, life insurance, and additional perks.

What You’ll Do

This Manufacturing Engineer will spend at least 50% of their time on the shop floor supporting daily manufacturing needs and driving operational excellence.

Key responsibilities include :

Leading manufacturing and CI projects cradle to grave , from concept to implementation.

Troubleshooting production issues, equipment, and test systems.

Supporting new product introductions as well as legacy product builds.

Driving VAVE initiatives focused on cost savings and efficiency.

Developing and optimizing manufacturing processes.

Programming / adjusting production and fabrication equipment.

Supporting prototyping, testing, ECNs, and documentation updates.

Evaluating components and working cross-functionally with fabrication, machining, and assembly teams.

Providing ongoing factory and service engineering support.

This role is perfect for someone who loves being hands-on, thrives in fast-moving environments, and wants to make an immediate impact on the floor.

What They’re Looking For

Must Have :

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical preferred; Industrial / Manufacturing / Electrical also accepted).

5–8+ years in manufacturing / CI / process engineering.

Sheet metal experience (required).

Experience leading VAVE initiatives and driving measurable cost reductions.

Ability to read and create basic SolidWorks drawings (you won’t be doing heavy design work).

Strong curiosity, initiative, and willingness to “roll up your sleeves” and engage with operators daily.

Nice to Have :

Experience in equipment / machine building environments.

Programming or troubleshooting fabrication equipment.

Exposure to PLCs, electrical systems, or combustion-based products (ovens, heaters, furnaces, boilers, etc.).

Do NOT fit well if :

Your background is purely chemical, aerospace, software, or research-focused.

Who Will Succeed Here

This company values individuals who :

Are energized by solving real-time problems on the floor.

Enjoy working cross-functionally in a tight-knit, knowledge-sharing environment.

Move quickly and adapt well in fast-paced manufacturing settings.

Are proactive, resourceful, and naturally curious.

Interview Process

30-min technical phone screen with the General Manager

2-hour onsite interview with plant leadership and engineering team

Please apply if interested, and recruiter will reach out.
