They will be announcing additional products that they will be manufacturing in Columbus in the coming months. Those new products will be manufactured in the existing plant and some of the existing products will move to the new plant. The PE group is responsible for setting up and moving all the manufacturing processes for both the new and existing plant. Their manufacturing facility includes processes for sheet metal cutting and fabrication, steel saw cutting, CNC machining, press brake and hydraulic press forming, manual and robotic MIG welding, resistance welding, powder coating, painting, assembly, and inspection as well as processes specific to our product including hydraulic cylinder and hose manufacturing. Currently, we are seeking three consultants to support three different group. 1 position is for Assembly, 2nd position is for Paint, and the 3rd position is supporting the Welding group. While the equipment they support is different, the overall job responsibility for each is the same. The production engineer position is split into 4 primary responsibilities: Capital Projects (35-40%), Troubleshooting (10%), downtime/quality investigations (20-30%), and Tooling Design/Design for Manufacturing (10%). Within capital projects they will be focused on identifying areas to reduce headcount and automate further. For troubleshooting anytime the line has an issue they will support if maintenance cannot correct. For tooling design they will design tooling welding from prints provided by the new product development team. The candidates hired for this role will split their time between project management responsibilities and hands on troubleshooting of the equipment. From a project standpoint, they will be responsible for a specific project assigned to them where they may have to work with vendors/suppliers, manage new launch activity, perform machine builds/installation, downtime reduction, etc. When issues arise at the plant that neither Maintenance or Quality teams can support the PE group will assist in troubleshooting or repairing the equipment/processes. When supporting their projects the candidates will do design for manufacturing work.
