Presented by Top Gun Staffing
Top Gun Staffing is partnering with a high-performing manufacturing team in Central Pennsylvania to find a hands-on Project Engineer who will lead major capital investments and plant-wide transformation.
This is not a desk job. This role is built for an engineer who wants to be on the floor—commissioning equipment, collaborating with OEMs, and driving real, visible change. You’ll own a $10M+ annual Cap Ex portfolio and lead projects that modernize equipment, improve throughput, and elevate safety across the operation.
If you thrive on turning vision into reality and enjoy seeing your work physically reshape a plant, this is the kind of role that doesn’t come along often.
